Don t let your body hit the plateau because that s when it stops showing results. Add a new element to your workout every day or every alternate day. Push your limits and increase the intensity because your body demands it.
Morning As odd as it may sound, but chewing raw garlic helps lower the bad cholesterol in your body. Chew 3 cloves of garlic along with a glass of warm water and lime in the morning. This technique also helps improve blood circulation.
Breakfast For breakfast combine oats and eggs in a delicious combination. This soft eggs and oats recipe is a perfect start to your day and packed with fibre and proteins to keep you pumped all day.
Lunch Dal makhani is synonymous with loads of clarified butter. In fact, it is one of the richest foods in Indian cuisine. Don t give up on eating it completely. Try this healthy version of dal makhani with roti or brown rice for lunch along with a salad.
Snack Your evening snack can be a bowl of popcorn. But don t open that packet brought from outside and pop it in your microwave. That one is loaded with butter and preservatives. Pop some plain popcorn at home and enjoy it guilt free.
Dinner Try finishing up your dinner by 8pm. A grilled chicken salad and garlic vegetable soup is a hearty yet light dinner. You can also drink a glass of plain milk just before you go to bed if you are feeling hungry.

At the gym Stretching before starting the exercises and after completion is a must. It prevents muscle soreness, injuries, pain and aches and relaxes the body. If you are already doing cardio and strength training, add an element of surprise with the CrossFit.
Sleep well tip Aches and pains can often disturb your night s sleep. If you experience these, it is attributable to a bad posture in the office or during workouts. If you have a neck pain, do these soothing stretches.
