“Yaar, it’s just one puri. How many
calories can that be!”
“I hate going to the doctor. I’m sure
I’ll be fine”
How many times have we
heard this? From our partners, parents and sometimes we too are guilty of
indulging, avoiding the dreaded doctor visits and being laidback about our
health. But girls, the stakes are too high. The one thing we must absolutely
never compromise is on health!
Here are some smart and
sneaky household nuske to kickstart
healthy living-
1. Sneak in more veggies in the dal
Loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, the
importance of veggies cannot be highlighted enough. So whether it is dal, or
pretty much any other dish, sneak in as many greens as you can.
In fact, the lesser others know,
the better it works – especially on kids who discard every visible vegetable on
their plate!
2. Avoid butter/oil on rotis!
“Butter? Oops, we forget to get that while grocery shopping!” And that’s how you play the game. Eating right is the straight As-worthy answer to a long and healthy life. But alas, the temptation of cheese, butter, and oily Indian food. Luckily, a quick browse on the internet will take you to multiple cooking websites that have recipes with lesser oil and butter.
3. Keep a tab on Health Insurance plans
Investing in a good health insurance plan should ideally be the first thing on everyone’s list, but it often remains ignored or policies lapse because premiums are not paid on time. If you really want to secure your (and your family’s) health, the first thing should be buying reliable health insurance from market leaders like Aditya Birla Health Insurance. Browse through their health insurance plans to ensure a safe and sound future.
4. Hide all the chips and junk food in the house
Oh, the temptation of oily/greasy junk food! You simply can’t stop at one. Late-night binging on chips is a big no if you want to look after your health. The extra carbs and fat consumed late at night are harder to burn. Indulging in fried and junk food is fine once in a while, but try to may your house free of junk on the other days.
5. Replace sugar with jaggery in the dessert
The road to a healthy life starts with baby steps. If your family has a sweet tooth, start by switching refined sugar with jaggery to keep it a tad more healthier. You can also look by recipes that are rich in dry fruits and require zero additional sweeteners.
6. Indulge in regular group activities
Not only is this the perfect way to get your family to bond, but it also ensures that everyone gets some form of physical activity in the week. You can either sign everyone up for a group yoga session or simply head out for a walk. Better yet, you can indulge everyone in a friendly game of cricket or football.
