Self-care guide: Wellness tips to swear by this summer

Dr. Pramod Ravindra, CEO of Pro Physio Healthcare, stated in conversation with HT Lifestyle on how to improve general well-being by incorporating movement and exercise into everyday routines in addition to other good behaviors.

1. Save Time for Yourself: Maintaining good habits and finding balance in one’s life depend on making self-care a priority.
   
2. Look for Things You Enjoy Doing: Engaging in activities you enjoy can make keeping active pleasurable and sustainable, whether it’s dancing, hiking, or taking up a new activity.
   
3. Take smaller steps, one at a time: Don’t push yourself too hard right away with rigorous exercises. To prevent burnout, start with brief workouts and progressively increase the length and intensity.
4. Develop a Habit: To create a healthy exercise habit and experience the long-term advantages, set a daily or weekly workout program and follow it through.
5. Activate Your Day: Go the stairs, walk or cycle instead of driving brief distances, or organize a little dance party while doing housework.
6. Team Up to Ensure Accountability: To keep yourself accountable and motivated, find a training partner or enroll in group exercise courses.
7. Fuel Your Body The Right Way: Pick foods high in nutrients to support your fitness objectives and fuel your body. Your general health and energy levels are supported by a well-balanced diet.
8. Put rest and recuperation at first: Rest and sound sleep are crucial for the restoration of muscles and general health. Numerous illnesses and disorders are more likely to develop in those who don’t routinely get enough good sleep.
9. Adequate Hydration: Drink lots of water throughout the day to keep your body properly hydrated and functioning.
10. Care for your body: Take breaks, rest when necessary, and pay attention to any indicators of exhaustion or discomfort.
11. Establish Achievable Goals: Achievable goals help you stay motivated and show the benefits of your work.’

Dr Pramod Ravindra wrapped up, “One of the best ways you can prioritise your wellness is to simply be kind to yourself. Embrace the process and make a lifelong commitment to physical health, affecting multiple aspects of our lives. It influences our thoughts, emotions and behaviours on a daily basis. Our physical wellbeing is paramount to leading a fulfilling and satisfying life.”
