Dr.Sahil Kapoor, 2 mins read

Life has changed a lot since the Covid-19 outbreak. Many people started working from home, moving less, eating more, and spending more time in front of screens. This kind of lifestyle can lead to weight gain and health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

Here are 10 simple health tips which your family doctor wants you to follow to stay healthy:-

1. Watch Your Weight
   Keep an eye on your weight by checking it weekly. This helps you notice small changes early and adjust your habits if needed.
2. Eat Healthy and Limit Junk Food
   Start your day with a healthy breakfast. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. Try to avoid food that is high in sugar, fat, and salt.
3. Take a Multivitamin
   If you can’t get a variety of fruits and vegetables, a daily multivitamin may help. Vitamins like A, B, C, D, and E, and minerals like zinc and iron, support your immune system. 
4. Drink Water and Avoid Sugary Drinks
   Water is the best drink to keep your body hydrated. Try to limit soda and sugary drinks, which can add extra calories without nutrients.
5. Exercise Daily
   Even if you can’t go to the gym, find ways to stay active. Walk, stretch, dance, or follow workout videos at home. Regular activity keeps your body and mind strong.
6. Move More, Sit Less
   Sitting too much, even if you exercise, isn’t good for your health. Get up every hour, walk around, stretch, or do a few jumping excercises to break long sitting times.
7. Get Good Sleep
   Sleep for 7 to 8 hours daily as it helps the body stay strong and fight off illness. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
8. Limit Alcohol
   Alcohol does not protect you from viruses. Too much can harm your health and add extra calories. 
9. Take Care of Your Mental Health
   It is normal to feel stressed or anxious. Talk to a friend, take deep breaths, or do meditation. Never hesitate to reach out for help if needed.
10. Use a Health App
    Track your steps, sleep, heart rate, and exercise using a fitness app or smartwatch. Seeing your progress can help you stay motivated and make healthier choices every day.
