A quick synopsis of healthy food habits

Just eating the right food is not enough, eating the right way is also very important

Check your carb, are you consuming more calories than you can burn. A couple of minutes spent doing basic yoga postures will help you burn those extra calories.

Choose green leafy vegetables. Ensure that your plate is full of green leafy vegetables. They are natural and rich source of protein, iron and fiber. You can have it raw, even cooking green vegetable is easy. Simple is best.

Water- Water is a natural detoxifying agent and supplies the body with daily dose of minerals. Though water should never be taken in between the meal, either it should be taken 30 minutes before the meal or one hour after the meal as it interferes with the digestive juice of the stomach delaying the digestion process. Water gives you a glowing skin.

Include enough proteins in your diet. Proteins are the building blocks of the cells and must be a vital part of the diet. Broccoli, soybeans, lentils, asparagus and spinach are some recommended protein rich foods.Dairy products like milk curd and other milk products are are also a rich source of proteins. It is important that the body gets the required amount of protein everyday.

Don’t gulp. Chew your food half of your digestion starts in your mouth itself. Half chewed food takes more time to digest.

Avoid fast-food and soft-drinks, junk food is always appeasing to the taste buds but harmful to the body and feeding ground for obesity. They are high on trans fats and carbonated drinks are high on sugar content leading to obesity and dental woes.

Instead opt to refresh yourself with Jal -jeera, butter milk or a home made lemonade as restaurant lemonade has artificial lemon flavour.

Prefer Homemade and healthy food . Prepare your food in olive oil to make it more healthy.

Focus on your food. Most of us have our food while texting on the mobile phones or watching television and don’t really keep a count on how much we eat. Though the stomach might be full, the brain tells you that you need to eat more and you eventually end up overeating. If you focus only on your food then you’ll eat only as much as your body requires. So, the next time you sit down for having your meal keep the remote control and mobile phone away for some time.

Never skip your breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day as it kick starts the metabolism and gives a boost to the body for the whole day ahead.

Digestion

While it is important to know what to eat it is equally important to know the process of digestion.

Sitting in Vajrasana for 10 minutes after a meal enhances blood circulation in the lower abdomen and improves the digestive process.

For sustained results sustained efforts is required over a period of time. Perseverance is the key. It is like your daily routine chores which calls for attention on a everyday basis.

Yoga

Yoga with its infinite potential is more than asans and when combined with the breathing technique of Pranayam brings about optimal results. Yoga is more than just an exercise. Yoga with controlled breathing gives a inner calm, blissful state of mind.

Specific yogic asans and pranayam help maintain a healthy body weight improving the BMR ( body metabolic rate). Meditation has a tranquilizing effect on the mind and the body and works as a stress buster.

Increases lean body mass, which automatically boosts the metabolism – The muscular body types burn more calories as muscle tissue has a higher metabolic rate.

Yoga improves mind body coordination and it alleviates the mood. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise five days a week. Make exercise a part of your everyday physical activity, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, riding bike or walking for small distance, anything and everything that moves you away from sedentary lifestyle. Don’t plan too much just do it.

Reach and maintain a healthy body weight and have a physically active and mentally calm lifestyle it lowers your risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
