What to Eat & What Not- Well all have a soft corner for graciously cooked food, and why not! But at times our food habits can end up in putting us at uncalled emergencies like heart attacks, high blood pressure shoot up, nausea etc.
So while you are in office avoid eating fried food and fat-filled snacks. Try to consume more of carbohydrate then fats during the day. Take more of juice, or self made beverages like ‘TANG’, ‘Glucose’ etc, and avoid intake of Coffee (cold/hot), Tea etc, they all are the same. Pumping caffeine in your veins is not going to help you get rid of ‘Stress’.
1 Apple + 1 Day= Keeps the Doctor Away- This equations fits best if you are a non cigarette smoker, or you prefer to take ‘Fresh Juice’ instead of ‘Old Malt’.
Otherwise
1 peg + 1 Day= Keeps the Doctor Away- This equation is the best, which would allow you to stay fit (Scientific studies have revealed that 1 peg of red wine each day, cuts down the cholesterol and saturated fats in your body, thus helps in keeping the heart healthy).
Incase you are a die hard smoker and you love to drink (Alcohol Off course!!) like a fish, then, better start reducing your limit!!
If you have been drinking or smoking since ages quitting both cigarettes & alcohol can be a challenge for you (unless you have decided not to look at them at all). So, start reducing both gradually and steadily.
And off course if you can put a stop to both of them, then trust me, you’ll be calling for a new dawn in your life!!!
