Hey friends join #ProtectHerHeart campaign with Saffolalife

      Someone has rightly said " You can only be Healthy from outside , when you are happy from inside "
      I am a happily married woman, I belong to a happy Marwari joint family. We have a culture wherein we get up early in the morning and set with our daily domestic chores. What I have seen in most of Indian families , a lady's lifestyle revolves around her prime responsibilities towards her family and in this busy schedule she forgets to take care of herself.
My lifestyle also resembles with the theory above . But slowly I have realised that it's all about how you prioritise your day.
   
      I recall My father-in-law's words he says that ' Our body is just like a car which needs fuel and maintenance time and again and if you don't take care then you have to payback the dues' . You know it's a give and take policy , if we work tirelessly day and night to achieve our goals with the help of our body then we have to pay returns to our body by keeping it fit and fuelling it with good healthy food.

     The initiative #ProtectHerHeart sponsored by Saffolalife is a kick-start awareness campaign towards our healthy lifestyle.I feel happy and privileged that I am becoming a part of this campaign.

Below are the day to day habits that I will try to imbibe in myself and in my husband:

1 )  I read in Rujuta Diwekar's book that the basic and primary mantra to keep oneself fit and healthy is that start eating in regular intervals that is in gaps of 2 hours . In this way you won't be over eating and also won't be starving for long hours. Previously when I was working in a SBI , due to heavy work load  I would starve for long hours and this actually resulted to obesity.

When I actually worked with this pattern of small interval eating I realized it does miracle changes.
Though these days Puneet (my husband) and I , we both are not regular with our routine but thanks to Saffolalife and Blogadda for your initiative.

2) Eating good amount of vegetables:

    Eating different types of vegetables is a must when it comes to diet planning. Puneet never like eating boiled vegetables daily ...so in our diet plan I have decided that some vegetable curries I can cook by using Saffola gold oil , my doctor has recommended , Saffola oils have less fat percentage and  controls cholesterol.

3) Walking , Yoga , meditation.

I have seen recent commercial of Saffola oil , isn't it lovely....Early in the morning walking with your loved one, isn't it lovely !!! We have experienced this  ...but I promise to continue with it. 

Recently I have learned some yoga exercises with the help of my neighbour and some YouTube links , its a magical way to keep your mind and soul in peace...I am not good with meditation but I promise to work on it...I have heard Its the best medicine to increase concentration.

4) Food tips : 

   a) Nowadays I have started keeping good amounts of nuts in my bag , they are just like a powerful little numbers that edge off the hunger on the way back home from work . They are just a tasty snack , 10 nuts in one serve.

   b) I am already working on taking good amount of water . I drink 2 litres everyday but my target is 3 ....Wanna beat me ??....then join the race...

   c) Restaurant meals: 

    I really want to work on my this habit and yes even I want Puneet to be serious about how to plan day diet when we are going out for dinner . It can be done by having fruits and some nutritional food in lunch and will never forget to exercise specially that day. This will surely compensate my extra kilojoules dinner diet.

5) Last but not least: My family

  I really want my family to accompany in this fitness mission and yes I know this can only be achieved by my initiatives... 
And so I pledge to join #ProtectHerHeart initiative and will make my and my family's heart happy and healthy.
