While we are more concerned about calories, our
awareness about nutrition is up for question.A busy lifestyle
leaves very little time
for proper mealsHERE ARE DIFFERENT
FACTORS THAT ARE
HOLDING YOU BACK FROM
LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE
Your sedentary lifestyle is degrading the quality
of life in more ways than you realise. Lack
of sleep over the week, and oversleeping during
the weekend is more casual than occasional.
Exercise is taken on with an all-or-nothing
attitude, and eating on the go has emerged as
the subtle art of multi-tasking. Take a moment
and identify various aspects of your routine,
which are keeping you away from achieving
optimum fitness levels.T
oday, life is being looked at through
a healthy lens while trying to shuttle
between different tasks and trades.
People are demanding the maximum
out of their bodies while carefully monitoring
what and how much they eat. One is constantly
stretching their limits to match the growing
expectations of the modern lifestyle—be it
staying awake till late, working longer hours,
or following a rigorous fitness regime. To sum
it up, there is little to no equilibrium, with our
health ultimately bearing the brunt.
“While we are more concerned about
calories, our awareness about nutrition is up
for question. Majority of the Indian population
is deficient in some or the other micronutrients,
and are falling sick very often. The fact remains,
even though we are more aware about our body
and its needs today compared to our forefathers,
we aren’t half as healthy and sturdy as
they were,” Varun Khanna, director at Full
Life Healthcare and CMO of Fast&Up, shares
his concerns.BEAUTY health documentary
Lack of strength: Most women work
on the take-till-you-break motto. The physiology
of a woman is more resilient than her male
counterpart. In addition, the societal expectations
wire the female mind to endure the pain
and discomfort till one absolutely can’t. As a
result, you tend to neglect nutrition and ample
supplementation that lead to deficiencies, and
perpetual low energy levels.Inadequate sleep: Just like a machine
needs lubricant, sleep helps the body to recover
and repair. Lack of sleep can wreak havoc on the
body, having adverse effects on your overall health,
from mental stress to weight gain.Insufficient physical activity:
A desk job, a buzzing city-life, a crammed
schedule—such a living often translates to several
hours of physical inactivity. There’s never enough
time or energy to hit the gym since most days tend
to be mentally draining. One can opt for simple
exercises like a walk in the park and climbing a
flight of stairs, or go for a rigorous workout in the
gym, and other outdoor activities like running,
hiking, etc. Daily physical activity of 20 to 40
minutes is the simple secret to ageing gracefully.Unattended stress: Stress is not limited
to mental and emotional discomfort alone, butNutrition deficiency leads to
