A healthier lifestyle begins at home!

The industry has centered around weight loss, zero figures, and other similar perceptions since its inception. Nonetheless, today's sedentary lifestyle has resulted in lifestyle disease, which has grown the market even more. This has allowed for more advertising gimmicks to fool consumers under the guise of weight-loss miracle drugs or foods that promise results in weeks. This weight loss (losing 10 kg or more in a month) is not sustainable and leads to nutritional deficiencies.

Weight loss is influenced by diet, activity, and lifestyle choices. It's a way of life that leads to long-term weight loss and a healthier way of life. Weight loss can be accomplished at home if a few easy recommendations are followed.

• Eat a well-balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes in the recommended proportions.

Half of your plate should contain vegetables, 1/4 amount protein, and 1/4 complex carbs. Healthy fats and probiotics (curd or buttermilk) should also be added.

• Make it a habit to exercise every day. Begin with 15 minutes per day and progressively build to 45-60 minutes for 4-5 days each week.

Do both cardio and strength training.

• Keep track of your mealtimes. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so don't skip it. Include three large meals and three snacks every day.
• Stay away from processed and packaged foods. Enjoy the variety of local, seasonal, and seasonal delicacies available.
• Go to bed on schedule, no later than 11.30 p.m. Make sure you get at least 8 hours of restful sleep.
• Hydration is essential for the body's overall function. Throughout the day, drink at least 2-3 litres of water.

Work on being a fitter version of yourself rather than settling for numbers on a weighing scale.
