Exercise

Bhimani, country head and marketing manager for Zespri India, points out that it is necessary to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine to sharpen both the body and the mind “Exercise contributes to our equilibrium.

Run at Least Five Minutes

Bhimani is on the right track, but if following his example leaves you breathless, there’s good news. Even running a mere five minutes a day has long-lasting health benefits.

According to a study published in The Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Examining the long term medical records of over 55,000 men and women, researchers found that people who ran 150 or more minutes a week lived longer than those who didn’t run. But here’s the interesting part people clocking as little as five minutes a day, lived almost as long as the running fanatics. “We think this is really encouraging news,” beamed a co-author of the study to press. “Most people can fit in five minutes a day of running, no matter how busy they are, and the benefits in terms of death rate are remarkable.”

Go Large in the Morning

What we eat throughout the day also determines our energy levels after work. Many experts recommend a protein and carbohydrates based breakfast, a low-fat high-protein lunch and a well balanced evening meal for increase physical and mental performance.

Sleep Tight

According to celebrity chef Ranveer Brar, a good sleep and daily routine are key to keeping energy levels high and your mind focused throughout the day. “Sleep well, set a routine and don’t smoke,” he says. “A balanced diet & a strict ‘no’ to tobacco, tea or coffee will also help too.”

Try New Exercises

In addition to cycling or walking to work, professionals have many choices when it comes to keeping fit in Mumbai. Why not join a gym near your office? From indoor cycling to yoga, there are exercise classes to suit all tastes in both individual & group atmospheres. The latter case gives you a higher chance of sticking with your routine, according to research, a fact that could lend itself to successful in house exercise regimens in the workplace. Try a fun outdoor obstacle race event.

Sugar

Every single cigarette reduces your lifespan by 11 minutes, but why say bye-bye to chai, and farewell to espressos? Maybe it’s because many people overload their comfort drinks with sugar. A grande Classic Chai Tea Latte from Starbucks, for example, is loaded with 42 grams of sugar the same amount as a Mars bar!
