TOP 10 HEALTH & FITNESS TIPS FOR YOUR DAILY ROUTINE
- Drink 8 glasses of water daily – this is essential for everyone. If you are not drinking plenty of water, you can become easily dehydrated which can lead to fatigue and often a false sense of hunger. Drinking enough water keep you feeling revitalised and help balance your energy levels.
- Try to sleep for 7 hours a night is essential for everybody. When your body is in sleep mode, it’s repairing itself – sleep is necessary for muscle development. If you don’t sleep enough, your body will work less efficiently, and you can feel sluggish. It can also be a factor in turning body tissue into fat, rather than helping develop muscle, as mentioned above.
- Stretching before sleeping is a good way to keep your muscles, tendons, limbs and joints fit, and can reduce cramp in the night too. Moreover, stretching reduces the risk of being injured when embarking on on physical exercise.
- Reducing stress is one of the most important reasons you need to stay fit and healthy. Stress has many side effects, including overeating, disruption of the internal organ’s function, eruption of skin diseases, and much more. Reducing stress will not only help you to make healthy, but also make you beautiful on the outside too!
- Reduce consumption of the alcohol. Alcohol has high amount of sugar and calories, along with a addictive element to it too. It has long term effects takes on the liver and kidney.

I don’t need to sit here and tell you the long term effects of smoking, but aside from the obvious, it ages your skin, can ruin your skin and cause damage to your vocal cords.

- Exercise your mind as well as your body. There is a close connection between the mind and body. If you want to keep your body fit, then you should really consider stimulating your brain too. For instance, reading, take a class, solve some puzzles, or doing whatever you like most. Keeping your brain engaged and in shape are a must for remaining healthy.
- You are what you eat healthy!! So cut out processed foods, junk foods – convenience foods as a whole. Try and avoid white carbs – well anything white in food format (sugar, milk etc) An 80/10/10 diet is something here at BigNet India we recommend and highly advocate – and as for your fruits and vegetables, stick to organic foods, and where possible try to eat a RAW diet Vegan is not essential.
