World Health Day: Sudhanshu Pandey, Monika Singh and others on why we should prioritise our well being

We all know the importance of the saying Health is wealth The unprecedented times of Covid only made us realise it all the more World Health Day on April 7 not just creates awareness around global health but also highlights topics and ailments that have been a point of concernMonika Singh I believe not only physical but mental health is important too So I start my day with yoga and cardio At first I used to feel looking good is important in the industry so I used to work on my body but one needs to be mentally fit to successfully ride this roller coaster Yoga gave me everything and trust me I suggest yoga should be a subject in school too Itrsquos just mandatory I believe Start your day with yoga and donrsquot eat junk on a regular basis It should be a subject for students and everyone should adapt to yoga as it keeps mental and physical health aligned Jab jago tabhi saveraCharrul Malik I try to exercise at least five days a week And I have been following this regime for five years or more Before that I used to do walking and jogging I think health is not just external but internal as well So I try to remain stressfree as much as I can because people fall sick mentally faster than physically and I think thats the prime reason that affects our immunity and metabolism If our thoughts are negative it affects our health I donrsquot set high goals and try to follow a simple routine The more you stress about living a healthy life the more youll be stressed about achieving it Try to set small goals and different things and exercises so that you dont get bored too The more you stay happy and keep toxic people out of your life the healthier you will be Keep positive company and stay away from people who give you negative thoughts I do different kinds of exercises every day one day cardio one day functional the other day yoga then back and shoulder so that my routine is not monotonous I go for walks in the park with my pet Della its our metime Be consistent regular and be practical Dont set any goals because if you set goals and take it as a task it becomes stressful Dont copy anyone and do what suits your body Yes we are hyping a lot these days about exercise and healthy lifestyle I think rather than hyping on social media we should detach ourselves from the phone while working out These are small things we can do to keep ourselves healthy and happySudhanshu Pandey I think one of the habits that have made the biggest difference in my life is turning vegetarian This happened more than a decade and a half ago So Ive been a vegetarian for a very major part of my life anyway My ability to be able to exercise whenever I can and a little bit of pranayam before I sleep and once I wake up do wonders I liked all these healthy practices because they have helped my system my gut health and mental health and overall the whole physical existence becomes so much better by doing these very basic things in life To take care of your health I think the two most important keys are obviously eating the right food or the right amount of food and at the right time Second is getting good sleep which is absolutely imperative if you want to be healthy It has become sort of like a fashion to talk about health and healthy habits and exercising and all of that A lot of people talk about such things on a regular basis but there are very few I believe who practice it to the T or practice the whole regime with absolute honesty I guess we just need internal discipline or mental discipline to be able to execute that And so yes it all begins in the head If we become a little more disciplined we can definitely lead a healthy lifestyleAniruddh Dave Our mental spiritual and physical health is of utmost importance All of the three should be given equal value if you are mentally and spiritually healthy it will automatically improve your physical health Yoga helps to keep your mind at peace and calm you Workout should be done but one should not exhaust their body walking and jogging in a greener surrounding amid nature can help you inhale oxygen which is more important Cut off toxic people from life and focus on a healthy lifestyle and goals Kismat kharab ho lifestyle kharab ho toh Oot par baithe insaan ko bhi Kutta kaat le Adapt a healthy lifestyle eat healthy and give away temptations of oily food and sugary itemsRishina Kandhari The first and most important healthy practice that I do is I finish my dinner by 7 pm and dont eat anything after that till 730 am in the morning Also I eat healthy in small portions and I eat in intervals Like every threefour hours youll see me eating Our healthy bodies are made in the kitchen and not in the gym so you have to practice eating healthy and not junk Once in a while cheat meals are fine but not always And yes I do work out I had been doing Pilates and really liked it as it worked wonders even better than going to the gym and working with weights It has helped me a lot And I do listen to a lot of bhajans in the morning as I am very spiritual I do a little bit of meditation to calm myself I begin my day with that and it keeps me happy and relaxed the whole day I believe in practicing what I preach All of the things which I have just said I do execute them in my daily routine and the result is in front of you all People keep asking me how I am so fit How is my skin so good It is all because I am very dedicated and disciplined in my daily lifeRahul Bhatia In our busy life we tend to forget about our health and it takes the backseat But health should be given priority For me physical and mental health equally matter For physical health I believe in exercising and for mental health doing yoga and meditation I have faced several bouts of depression and meditation actually helped me to come out of it The priority you give to your physical health should also be given to our mental healthGaurav Singh Meditation fixing the sleep cycle eating more fruits veggies and power naps are some healthy practices that worked wonders for me I start my day with meditation for at least 10 min In the morning fix your waking up time no matter when you sleep We talk a lot about health but its difficult to execute I agree and consistency is the key Keep your health on top of your priority list Anything can be achieved in this world only with good health Count it as your real wealthAlso ReadBalika Vadhu actress Neha Marda hospitalised due to pregnancy complications
