Weight gain is a result of chemical imbalance in the body and getting the balance right holds the key to a perfect shape.
Weight gain is a result of chemical imbalance in the body and getting the balance right holds the key to a perfect shape.
Research has found automation in job, decreased exercise due to easy transportation has dramatically reduced calorie-burning. This, coupled with consumption of high-calorie food in excess is making us obsese.
To shape up, changing lifestyle is the way. Reduce calorie intake, choose home-cooked food over processed food, cut down on hours spent watching TV or working on PC, maintain a balanced diet of nutrients , learn to manage stress, relax and meditate and last but not the least, exercising an hour daily to get your dream shape. Easy, isn’t it? Start now.

In the absence of a healthy mind, a healthy body is useless. A person with a fit body can work long hours and complete multiple tasks in quick time.
‘Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise’.
Indeed, proper rest is essential for physical fitness. A balanced diet and exercise are also equally important. We should avoid junk food because it has excess calories and anything in excess is bad. A glutton can never be healthy.
Happiness comes from the heart and mind. If we are happy we will definitely be in shape. A healthy mind and healthy body keep us happy.

Health is important than wealth. A brisk walk and other exercises are a way to fitness. One should maintain a balanced diet, avoid junk food and sleep well. Many people say one must eat to live rather than live to eat.
These days, fast food joints have cropped up everywhere and the food they serve has excess calories. Excess calories are not good for the heart and health in general. One should realise it is quality, not quantity, that matters.
Going to the gym and aerobics keep muscles and joints in shape.
Yoga helps in weight management and keeps one stress-free. Keeping fit is not an option but a necessity for a happy and healthy life.

A healthy mind in a healthy body is my motto. But it requires self-discipline to practice what we preach. An important way of keeping in shape is consuming a healthy and balanced diet and adequate amount of water. We need to look at quality, not quantity, of the food we eat. Say no to junk food as it adds unnecessary calories without nutrition.
Stress contributes to obesity as a stressed man is not able to keep track of how much he eats.
A growing child needs to concentrate on studies. Leisure time should be spent doing yoga, meditation and playing outdoor games. Going to the gym strengthens muscles and bones.
However, excessive obsession is not healthy. One must accept body type and respect it.
“A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools.”

Staying in shape is all about making a good diet choice and following it. It is a simple combination of a healthy diet and good exercise. We need to pick up good habits and maintain them.
A brisk walk every day for around 45 minutes takes care of your body. It helps manage stress and reduce weight. Let us stay away from junk food. “We eat to live, not live to eat”.
Let us motivate our family and friends to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Let us take advice/guidance from a fitness instructor. Yes, it would be difficult to start with but once we see the improvement in health, there is no looking back. Let us not forget, health is wealth.

A tired body and a tired mind make a person uneasy, unhealthy and unfit to enjoy the good things of life. Often, we find people irritated and getting hyper and going bla bla bla.
These are symptoms of tiredness of mind and body that require ample rest.
I make sure I get adequate sleep as sleep time is when the body rejuvenates. A good sleep ensures energy to face everyday challenges of life.

Laughing relieves stress.
Of late there have been clubs that call one and all to come out in the open and laugh out loud. This is an exercise which keeps the mind calm and in control.
I have joined a laughter club in my colony which gives me lots of happiness. It is my way of staying in shape.

A fit mind and body are what you need to be a good dancer that I am.
I have been passionate about dancing right since childhood. I used to take part in school programmes and win traditional dance competitions. Later, I leant bharatanatyam.
Without a healthy mind and body one cannot perform this art form that requires energy and mental agility.
To be fit and strong I take good food which is devoid of fat and has iron content. To keep my mind in shape I enjoy the company of nature early morns by jogging and listening to good music.
- prakriti iyer , Sri Ma Vidyalaya
We live to eat, not eat to live. Eating is the most enjoyable part in our daily routine that gives us satisfaction and delights both our stomach and mind. A good diet full of nutrients will give us the energy required to be mentally and physically fit.
Children of today are exposed to junk food early and relish it too. But this deteriorates health and makes one tired, angry and irritable.
Home-made food is the best children can have to keep fit and strong.It is not that they should refrain from hamburgers, pizzas and chips.
They should limit this food and eat it in moderation. Green vegetables , fruits give us a lot of vitamins and keep us healthy.
