consultant has given us a few tips to keep us healthy. Among them the first
and foremost is we need to Quit Smoking, Exercise regularly, Maintain a
healthy weight, Avoid consuming alcohol on a daily basis, Get adequate sleep
and Try not to take stress. To avoid infection we need to grow some healthy
habits of washing our hands frequently and meats should be cooked properly
before consuming.
Anti Oxidant diet is highly recommended by him like different berries, Dark
chocolate, Coffee, Kidney beans, Green tea, Apples, Vegetables such as
tomatoes and greens, Oily fish. He also mentioned to have garlic on a daily
basis.
Exercises to be followed along with the diet:
1. Strength training: Resistance training is a fantastic way to keep us fit in this
tough time. It will be sufficient if we just do it a few times per week. We can do
this at home or at the gym and even body-weighed exercises will also work
well.
2. Yoga: Daily yoga helps us in reduces stress, through deep breathing and
movement of the lymphatic system. So 30mins yoga is highly advisable to fight in this situation.

support your immunity. If this is done outdoors, it offers the added bonus of a
mental boost with a calming effect due to oxygen.

Although maintaining a healthy diet is tough but it is strictly what we need to
follow in this situation. Dt Mayanka Singhal included all the easily available
seasonal foods in the list so it becomes easy for us to maintain this lifestyle.
We need to take summer coolers like the melons, coconut water. Palm fruit
should be a part of daily fruit intake. Seasonal fruits like mangoes both raw n
ripe are highly recommended to beat the heat. She also added that “This is the
season of pickling so make use of raw mango to make pickels. The peel of
mango has anti-aging properties as well”. Jackfruit both raw n ripe can be also
be taken as it has various micro nutrients properties in it. Bel sherbet helps to
keep digestion system good and it also boost our immunity power. She has
also recommended having Chaas n Aam panna or Bel sherbet as drinks instead of colas or road side fruit juices from thellas. Avoid packet food during these times as they are very harmful for our health and of course our immunity
system as well. Always opt something light for your dinner; curd rice is a good
example of it. For breakfast we can take dahi chiwada which will be filling
healthy and will not take any time before we leave for our daily work. Lastly
and most importantly we need to carry a homemade light lunch every day to
our office and should not have unhealthy junk foods from outside.
