We all must have made resolutions in the new year to get healthier.\u00a0Our holistic wellbeing expert Manisha Kohli suggests 5 healthy habits to follow throughout the year. This includes fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness tips that we\u2019ve learned.<\/p>\n
Activities for a healthy 2022: <\/strong><\/p>\n This includes exercises that will help you correct your posture while you are sitting and avoid muscle strain; such as:<\/p>\n This exercise stretches your spine and shoulders. It can improve your posture while helping in digestion too. Hold the pose for 15 secs and repeat it 5 times.<\/p>\n Repeat this neck exercise<\/strong> 5-7 times to stretch your muscles, improve your flexibility and stimulate blood flow.<\/p>\n These cardiovascular exercises can help you burn calories and keep your body active during the day; such as:<\/p>\n Walking outdoors or even inside the house for 30 minutes a day can be helpful in energising your body and keeping you active.<\/p>\n This exercise strengthens your core and lower body<\/strong> muscles. Trying this exercise 10-20 times is helpful especially for lower back problems or pain in your knees.<\/p>\n If you are a beginner, you can try the chair squats by resting your back on the chair when you bring your body down.<\/p>\n Breathing exercises can be done at any time of the day. The diaphragmatic breathing technique shown in this video can lower your heart rate and blood pressure. Practice this exercise for 5 minutes at least 3 times a day.<\/p>\n Instead of thinking about comfort foods that you need to give up, start looking at healthy foods to add to your diet. Increase the nutrition density of your meals by replacing unhealthy foods with a plate of vegetables or fruits in your daily diet.<\/p>\n Remember to stay hydrated by drinking water or coconut water instead of resorting to aerated drinks.<\/p>\n The body scan meditation technique shown in this video will help you become more aware of different parts of your body. It can help reduce stress while also being an important self-care practice.<\/p>\n This sums up the healthy habits you should follow daily. Remember to continue following the healthy habits you have learned over the last two weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We all must have made resolutions in the new year to get healthier.\u00a0Our holistic wellbeing…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2963,"featured_media":60745,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2925,4243],"tags":[2983,2982,2984,2985,1550],"class_list":["post-60718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noquittingwithactivliving","category-self-care","tag-body-scan-meditation","tag-holistic-wellbeing","tag-neck-stretches","tag-nutrition-density","tag-squats"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
