Fitness plan day 315 – Bid goodbye to toxicities every day

Maintain the right posture and form while performing exercises at the gym.

Detoxing your mind is as important as your body detox. Try and stay away from your smartphones as much as you can from it. Instead of checking the time on your phone, start checking your watch. You must also stay away from checking your social media pages every 15 minutes.

Morning Put all your worries aside in the morning and give your loved one and warm hug for a good 8 minutes. You can even hug your pet if you don t have anyone else around. Let them know how much you love them. An 8 minute hug has several health benefits so start your day by hugging.

Breakfast If you already have panned breakfast for today, add a papaya and orange smoothie with bananas to the menu. This shake is very effective in reducing cholesterol. It s rich in potassium and fibre and a very filling drink too.

Lunch If you are prone to constipation, then adding lots of fibre to your diet is necessary. A high fibre and healthy recipe like this whole wheat mix vegetable pasta is ideal for lunch. You can even pack it in your kids lunch box.

Snacks Your intake of curd may reduce during winters. But fresh curd at room temperature can be consumed during the day to keep your calcium intake in check. This flaxseeds raita is an interesting and tangy recipe that can be enjoyed at snack time. You can have 1-2 crackers along with it.

Dinner If you don t like plain lauki sabzi. Try this lauki curry recipe. The flavours in the curry can mask the bland flavour of bottle gourd and make this a delicious dinner option with rotis.
