The global restrictions due to COVID-19 have more or less brought life to a standstill across various parts of the globe. As we are in the 10th month of this year, we are still awaiting clearance guidance and permissions to bring back our lives to normal.
However, for Indians, even the pandemic is no excuse to shy away from the mega celebrations of festivals as it is a permanent part of their lives! With the restrictions laid down by the government, most mass event places are still closed and there is still a general fear of the virus in the air. This leaves us with the task of figuring out a balance between celebrations and health!
It won’t be an unusual scene if we see people rolling their eyes when they hear the word ‘healthy’, as festivals are a time when people get to eat foods they love. However, this is a time when we need to be mindful of what we are eating.
With most people having received their vaccines, the event organizers have announced that they will be opening up for the events that we so dearly missed in 2020.
On this note, we’d like to say what you eat is how you feel. You need that extra amount of energy to run around with your kids and for that, you need to eat healthy, don’t you? If feeling good and having the energy to give time to your kids, family, and everyone close to you is what you want this festive season, then what you eat surely matters.
The question that arises is, how can you still eat well, all the while enjoying India’s festive season?
The answer to this is simple. All you have to do is eat healthy!
Did you know?
When you eat healthy, you think healthy, you keep healthy and you make others healthy!
A few mantras can be followed this season to stay healthy during the festive season!
First and foremost, stay hydrated!
Make sure to make this your mantra during festival season. There is no life without water. Drink coconut water, buttermilk, lemon juice, vegetable and fruit juices. This will help you maintain your fluid intake.
Secondly, plan your meals right!
An abrupt change in your routine can affect your body. To avoid this, plan out your meals. Consume fruits and try to limit oily foods. Also, make sure that the sweets that you are consuming are stored properly and check their freshness.
Don’t eat too unhealthy if you want to feel your best!
Thirdly, try and eat frequent meals.
You must have heard your parents saying, eat small, but eat frequently. This helps you feel light and energized.
If you go for a prolonged fast, it can cause weakness, fatigue, headaches, and can drain your energy. Eating at regular intervals may help maintain your energy levels throughout the day.
A healthier midday munch won’t do you harm. It will only be to your benefit!
Fourth, exercise early on!
Begin your day with a walk in the park or by doing a few asanas. This includes Surya Namaskar too! Twice in the morning, and you start your day fresh.
Its benefits are well-known. Once you begin, don’t let go of it. Stick to your routine. Motivate yourself to get up early, do that set of exercises, bust stress and keep yourself feeling good! A moderate set of exercises is just a small step towards a healthier lifestyle during festivals!
Fifth, stay mindful of sugary foods. (Please don’t kill us for this)
When you consume too much sugar, your body tends to crave more of it. This can become a cycle, so try to enjoy sweets in moderation. Also, be careful to avoid stale sweets this festive season, as they can affect your health!
