Water facilitates in carrying oxygen to the red blood cells in our body. It also allows the kidneys to flush what they have collected out of the body naturally.

• In addition to this, getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep is not only good for your mood but also your general health and can be the best of lifestyle changes.

2. MEDITATION /YOGA FOR A CALM MIND:

• Taking out time from your daily routine is clearly but as these days, but 30 minutes for yourself isn’t a lot to ask, right?

• Mindfulness meditation trains you to focus on what you are thinking or feeling at the moment. You can concentrate on your thoughts, feelings, or sensations.

• Yoga allows you to focus your energy to feel the warmth of love, kindness, and other positive feelings.

3. REDUCE SCREEN TIME TO IMPROVE LIFESTYLE:

• Screen time is another issue that is prominent in this lockdown. However, if you can take your eyes off the screen and stare at a distant point for 20 seconds, that can go a long way too.

4. ‘LAUGH MORE OFTEN’ IS THE BEST MANTRA OF GOOD LIFESTYLE:

• They say that laughing for 15 minutes benefits the human body the same way as sleeping for 2 hours. However, laughter increases serotonin and endorphins in the brain, and reduces stress hormones in the body.

5. HAVE A PROPER DIET:

• A healthy diet is always on our list that can help you in many ways. However, eating a balanced diet, from a wide variety of nutritious, whole food is vital for your overall well-being.
• Also, for your body to live, grow, and function properly it requires the essential nutrients from the food you eat for its good health and daily maintenance. By starting to eat healthily you will find yourself glowing energetic throughout the day.

6. MAINTAIN MENSTRUAL HYGIENE TO IMPROVE LIFESTYLE:

• Nowadays menstrual hygiene is another issue that needs your attention. So, it is necessary to change your sanitary napkin every 4 to 6 hours, depending on your flow.

• If you use tampons, change them every 2 hours. And also, you can try yoga to release the menstrual cramps.

7. CUT DOWN SUGAR:

• Sugar in the form of fructose, and it is more harmful than glucose. Glucose is required for the cell to function while fructose is not. However, the liver and words turn more fructose into fat, causing unnecessary workload on it. By cutting down on sugar or using sugar alternatives like jaggery or stevia can go a long way in keeping your hormones in check.

• It also prevents breaking out of the skin and reduces the chances of diabetes, heart disease, skin ageing, and obesity.

8. GET SOME SUN:

• Getting Sun exposure is not good for your skin, as it causes wrinkles and sunburns. But also sunlight is a very important source of vitamin D, without which calcium cannot be absorbed in our body. So, sit early in the morning or midday Sun for 10 to 30 minutes to reap the most benefits.

9. FIND SOME ‘ME’ TIME:

• This quarantine is a great time to explore your interests, develop new good habits, and practice your hobbies. In short, take out ‘me’ time from your work schedule to relax your body and mind.
