We all want a happy and healthy lifestyle but most of us think that happiness is concerned only with job, handsome pay and buying things – both essential and expensive.

“Health is the real wealth, and in our pursuit of other goals we miss giving importance to it. But actually, the Mantra for a healthy lifestyle is actually simple,” says Dr.Adityan Guhan, Director, AGs Healthcare. Dr.Adityan recommends a few steps that will help those who desire a healthy life.

Try the Reverse Banana Leaf way

While traditionally we put more rice in the lower part of the banana leaf and less veggies in the top, Reverse Banana Leaf way is about placing more of veggies in the place of rice and consuming limited quantity of rice. By this way, we start with more fiber and proteins and end our meal with less amount of carbs.

Reduce these Whites

It is really good to reduce sugar and salt in-take. In countries like Japan or the UK, there are strict limits on sugar content in snacks. Many products in such countries use alternatives to sugar. Avoiding maida-based food items is really a healthy decision. We can take egg-whites, paneer, curd and white meat.

Sleep Early, Exercise Consistently

Finishing your dinner earlier, and going for a walk afterwards is good. Cut your screen time on night hours, and sleeping for 7 hours. Exercise religiously. You should exercise for 30 to 45 minutes, at least five days a week. Your sleep cycle, your exercise habits, and the order in which you eat your food all play a good role on the quality of your health and happiness.
