Health is wealth, and if you are tired of falling sick everytime, here are a few tips to help you improve your health and lead a better life.
Tip 1: Eat Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables Only - Today, due to the availability of modern transportation and cold storage facilities, we get a variety of vegetables and fruits in the market. In large cities, we also find foreign exotic fruits and vegetables sold at premium prices. These include fruits such as avocados, dragon fruit, galanjal, blueberries etc. We can also buy winter vegetables like spinach and green peas in the peak of summer. If not available in stores, they can be ordered online. If you wish to maintain good health, the idea is to live a simple life and only eat seasonal fruits and vegetables that grow in the area you live. Eating such organically grown local seasonal vegetables and fruits will give you the minerals and vitamins to bear the weather conditions in the area you live (whether extremely hot, cold or humid) and protect you against endemic infections or diseases occurring during the particular season.
Tip 2: Eat Food that Agrees with your Body - Everyone has a unique body type, and there may be some foods that others may comfortably eat but which may not be suitable for your body. If you feel an aversion to some types of food, or suffer some health issue after eating it - then keep it simple and just don't eat it. For example, while cow's milk is promoted as a healthy drink, it causes stomach problems for some people who may be lactose intolerant. Other foods which may not be good for some people are chocolates, egg, meat, coffee, peanuts, rajma etc. Family and friends may encourage you to consume these items (due to supposed health benefits or other reasons etc) but if you feel they are not good for you then politely refuse. Also do not force anyone else to eat something if they say they do not want it.
Tip 3: Do not Overeat - No matter how much you like a particular dish or how much you paid for it, do not eat too much of it. Whether it is your favourite biryani lovingly prepared by your mom, wedding or festival delicacies, or a free office lunch, we need to exercise restraint and resist the temptation to stuff our stomachs with food. At buffet lunches and dinners, we may be tempted to try the various yummy dishes on offer. Here it is best to choose a few dishes you are comfortable with rather than taking a sampling of all dishes on offer in your plate. Take small to moderate helpings of food that blends well together and keep your stomach half empty. This will make you feel comfortable after the meal and leave space for a glass of water without stretching or stressing the stomach.
Following these three tips will help you improve your health and contribute to your general well-being.
