Hello friends,

The more and more we do research to find out the best and easy way to be healthy and the first key factor to become healthier is proven to take good diet. I have adopted that to be more healthy. I am attaching one of my morning diet snap.

Hi coolblues.. you have started a cool contest in cool climate.. Thanks yaar. Thanks for inviting me here.


Here you go with my entry for this contest.

I drank lots of water which made my face very clear.I was happy for it.



Fruits became very essential in my food habits which helped me to increase immunity power.


Last but not least.. My dad stopped smoking this year only. I felt this is not only good for him but also for us, as we were passive smokers all these days along with him.

 

Thanks a lot coolblues for starting this thread....

Its time to Get to know...what effort we kept the whole year to make us healthy...

These are the things which is keeping me healthy

Prevention is better than cure. I take sufficient precautions for myself and my family to prevent falling sick.


:rotfl

So I include herbs that suit that season in our food along with recommended precautions for the season by our ancestors.




Eating healthy :- the best way is to eat freshly cooked, parboiled (to retain nutrients), only required oil, avoiding outside food. I prepare soup daily by parboiling veggies so that even children and old family members can have healthy intake.




Walking :- whether you do other exercises or not, walking is a must to keep oneself active and healthy. Brisk walking for 30 minutes burns lot calories.... I enjoy my walk specially in the community garden seeing the colourful seasonal flowers planted...with the landscapes... I walk clockwise, sometimes anticlockwise so that i can enjoy a different angle of ambience



Good food lifts up the spirit : to encourage myself for the healthy lifestyle we follow and to increase immunity power once in a while indulgence into junk food is necessary. So prepare it at home or sometimes go to khao galis or join a feast.





Hobbies :- I love my Hobbies. Idle mind is devil's workshop. Hobbies help not only pass quality time but has lot of other benefits viz, increase concentration power, develops creativity, reduce stress, etc.





Continued in my next post :- (as i can only post limited number of images per post)
