2. Practising Yoga: Are you going Gym? That’s okay. Definitely, you will look fit and lean with big muscles but just looking fit is your ultimate goal or it must be staying healthy!! Yoga asanas are postures, poses slow movements, and meditation that are formulated by the ancient Yogrishis (Indian saints) thousands and even lakhs years ago. They truly keep your body flexible, free of every disorder till the end, and also mentally calm and sharp. 
3. Focus on self: Being busy at work doesn’t solely mean progress towards achieving your goals in life. Apart from your professional work and family time, having a keen focus and sparing part of your day for caring for yourself is a necessity.
4. Stay active: Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, or other forms of exercise that you enjoy. Regular exercise helps to keep your body in shape, reduces stress, and keeps your mind alert and sharp.
5. Maintain a healthy diet: Eating a balanced and nutritious diet is essential for maintaining good health. Include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean protein sources, and whole grains in your diet. Limit your intake of processed foods, sugary drinks, and alcohol.
6. Sleep and wake up at right time: Aim for at least 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. Lack of sleep can cause stress, fatigue, and other health problems, which can affect your overall well-being.
7. Manage stress: Chronic stress can have negative effects on your mental and physical health. Learn stress management techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to help you stay calm and relaxed.
8. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated. Dehydration can cause fatigue, headaches, and other health problems.
9. Quit smoking: If you smoke, quitting is one of the best things you can do for your health. Smoking increases the risk of many health problems, including cancer, heart disease, and stroke.
10. Quit non-veg: Though you get high protein from non-veg meals, the human being’s body is made by nature to eat plants and dairy products only. Our bodies’ digestive system is well suitably built for a veg diet only. Also, nothing can be worse than killing a living being just to make them your food.
11. Keep your mind active: Engage in activities that challenge your mind, such as reading, crossword puzzles, or learning a new skill. Keeping your mind active can help improve memory and cognitive function.
12. Stay connected: Maintaining social connections with family and friends can help reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being. The connection hormone ‘Dopamine’ will be more produced by interacting with the same kind of people. Join a social group or volunteer in your community to stay connected and engaged.
13. Take care of your skin: Protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays by wearing sunscreen and protective clothing. Moisturize your skin regularly to keep it soft and supple.
14. Stay positive: A positive outlook can help you stay motivated and focused on the good things in your life and maintain a positive attitude towards challenges and setbacks.
