Why Indians need a healthier lifestyle


As the Indian middle class has evolved with the advent of multinationals and different private job profiles, things have dramatically changed over the years from the past decades.

Though the average income of middle class  has increased from what it was twenty years back, so has the work load and stress required to deal with uncertainties of life in today's times.

We don't have such better health care policies like in the western countries. Our working hours are also not limited to strict 8 hours a day. 

I have seen families having unnecessary liabilities of long medical bills which are not being covered up under any insurance plans. 

As a matter of fact if you are covered under the insurance policy then more often than not hospitals will make you pay a lot more than  genuine treatment amount. 

We are also aware of the different cases of credible hospitals, which have become so commercialized that they are just no more for curing the patients. They also think about the expansion of their facilities and creating their own brand name. 

Smoking, drinking and eating junk food are just the most common ways we use to cope up with stress. Even eating out isn't really healthy but has become our necessity due to busy life and tough schedules. 

How many times do we really think about burning the calories that we have consumed, or woke up with a mindset that today we will have at least one healthy meal. 

Late night working hours are so common for everyone of us, this was not there in the previous generation. Meeting the deadline has become so important that we certainly have to make lot of sacrifices at personal level.

This not only makes us feel bad but reduces our association with friends and family, which in turn don't stand for us in bad times being neglected during our career building. 

It is a reality that if we fall sick or get any kind of desease that might take us time to recover, our firms will not bat an eye to fire us from the job. Further putting us under the financial constraint to persue our treatment. 

Keeping in mind the above factors are a reality for the work force in India, it is really important for us to take care of our health. Human body has a limit to take exertion and if we are exerting ourselves, it is our fundamental duty to provide the best nutrition and rest possible to heal it back.  


After some research, I'm putting down some points, which can be followed for ensuring a better health in the current lifestyle.

1)Make sure you do some kind of exercise everyday as simple as walk for 30 minutes to keep your stamina, muscles and posture upright. 

2) Consume some kind of super food like honey which will give you energy and increase your metabolism as well as provide lot of nutrients to your body.

3) Have dry fruits like walnut and almonds. 

4) Consume protein regularly. You can have in natural foods forms or supplements like whey protein. 

5) Have green vegetables in any form. Even a bowl of soup would do. 

6) Have a routine like eat on time, sleep on time as far as possible.

7) Don't skip breakfast. 

8) Eat a heavy breakfast, moderate lunch and light dinner. 

9) Reduce drinking and smoking. Even if you do it regularly just don't exploit your body.

10) Limiting the use of phones and other electronic devices as they are high radiation emitting devices. 

11) Switch off Wi-Fi before sleeping, it's radiations are harmful for kids.

12) Sleep at least for 6-7 hours a day.

13) Vegetarians should make sure that they consume multivitamins as they have common deficiency for vitamin B12, D3 and magnesium. 

14) Drink lots of water to keep hydrated and a younger skin

15) Check your weight regularly.

16) Develop a healthy hobby like playing a sport.

All the above points may look difficult to inculcate in daily lifestyle but as the saying goes it just takes 21 days to develop a habit of anything.

Taking good care of ourselves can really save us from lot of misery.
