Growing up, everyone must have heard the term, ‘Health is Wealth’, but most people are unclear about the actual meaning of the phrase. People frequently equate good health with being disease-free. Although this is a part of it, it is not the complete picture of good health. To put it another way, the path to a healthy body involves the wellness of physical and mental well-being.

The importance of a healthy body and its maintenance cannot be emphasised enough. Good nutrition, frequent exercise, avoiding dangerous habits, making informed and responsible health decisions, and getting required medical help, all contribute to the path to a healthy body.

It is said that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind. It also allows you to live a more active and engaged life, resulting in a better quality of life as you get older. Here are a few tips from Mr Yash Birla to get you walking on the path of a healthy body;

  • Maintain a healthy diet: This is one of the most common but also the most important part of a healthy life.

    Yash Birla advises to balance the food

    that you eat to meet your body’s daily requirements of nutrition and enjoyment. Healthy doesn’t necessarily mean boring. You can customise your diet according to your taste buds but always eat in moderation. Enjoy foods from all major food groups (fruits, vegetables, lean sources of protein, low-fat dairy, and whole grains).

  • Have home-cooked meals: Home-cooked meals are the best way to encourage healthy eating. Fresh produce provides the body with lots of nutrients. This also helps to control portions of the meals. Mr Yash Birla hardly ever eats out, as he always eats home-cooked meals. He believes that it aids in sustaining healthy eating.
  • Practice meditation: The benefits of meditation are abundant. Meditation brings peace, clarity, and balance to life. All these factors are essential to living a healthy and happy life. Everyone should take out some time from their busy schedule to practice meditation regularly. Even though Yash Birla is a busy businessman, he makes sure that he takes out some time to practise meditation and promotes its benefits.
  • Exercise: Regularly working out brings a sense of discipline in life, believes Yash Birla. It affects the body and the mind of an individual. It changes the structure and functioning of the body and makes a person stay active and fit. Exercising boosts the immunity of the body and makes a person stay healthy.
  •  Adequate Sleep: Getting enough sleep is equally important as the other ‘healthy body tips’. For a healthy functioning of the body, it should get around 7-8 hours of sleep daily. If the body is well-rested, then it can function efficiently throughout the day.
