Light up your health this Diwali

KEEP 'EAT' SIMPLE

Dump seed oils and opt for healthy fats instead. Ghee, avocados, macadamia nuts are excellent sources of healthy fats. And remember, whenever using oil, opt for grilled, roasted, or baked snacks

LOVE YOUR HEART

Eat foods rich in fiber (like green leafy vegetables, apples, pears, salads etc) and opt for whole grains instead of processed ones (so steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats; unpolished rice instead of the white one)

AQUA 'PEENA'

Drinking at least two litres of water every day is important for detoxification and for maintaining proper balance of electrolytes. Drinking warm water first thing in the morning helps your intestines push excreta out of the body

GET A LEG-UP

Leg exercises help you maintain heart health and keep your blood glucose levels under control. Resistance training like lunges, squats, planks and push-ups increase muscle strength and improve overall health. (PS: Please check with your doctor before starting any rigorous exercise regimen)

KEEP WALKING

Walking is an excellent form of exercise that helps strengthen muscles, tightens the core, helps you maintain a healthy weight and blood glucose levels. Regular walking also boosts your mood and reduces stress levels
