If you are suffering from troubles like high BP , Low BP , diabetes , or any other , are you really taking care of the eating habits you should form ?
If your weight is on a rise and the old dresses don’t fit you , are you seriously working out to get back in shape ? I know you do want to get rid of that flab but you are not working hard for it . Desire is great but there’s lack of action .
Diet , Hunger and Health management – Three important facts
Fact 1
Your health is your responsibility , nobody else’s
You yourself will have to work in the direction of your good health . Don’t say that you don’t have time . You are busy all day taking care of family . Don’t think that because you are working dedicatedly for your family , so your family should come forward and do the exercises your body needs .
Fact 2
Diet plays a major role in health management
It has been said thousand of times that diet plays 80 percent role in your health management and exercise just 20 percent . This is more than hundred percent true when it comes to losing weight . Don’t procrastinate about making changes in your diet.
Change what you eat and you can change your body
Fact 3
Lot of times , you eat because of emotions and not because of hunger .
Have you ever analysed how many times in a day you actually feel hungry ? And how many times in a day you actually eat ? I know the answer to latter question is a big number . Because this happens with me too . Nowadays when the world is gripped by corona and we are forced #stayathome the condition is even severe . All the time you just feel like eating something or the other .
Understand your hunger
The need is to feel your emotions . May be you feel like eating something out of loneliness or upset mood . People often grab a chocolate, pastry or anything sweet to correct their mood .
While writing this , I just had a small (very small ) bowl of gajar ka halwa . I am so honest you see ! Got carried away by emotions .
Feel your emotions . Is it real hunger , just a time pass or something else ? Why not try these ? Drink a glass of water, stretch yourself , talk to someone or play your favourite songs .
