It’s a well-known fact that our frenetic pace of life is a major cause for obesity, heart ailments and nutritional deficiencies. But while these health issues are widely known, indigestion or acidity is a major side effect caused due to long working hours, irregular eating hours and sedentary lifestyle.

Ritesh Shaiwal, senior fitness manager at health club Fitness First, suggests that if you are too hard-pressed to do exercises in your office, you can simply replace your chair with a swiss ball. This will boost your metabolism and activate the core stabiliser muscles.

Dr Snehal Mantgani, lecturer at the Gold’s Gym Fitness Institute informs that a fitness regime should be accompanied with a good diet and three litres of water/day. She suggests a few exercises that can be done at work, which help improve digestion and reduce bloating and stiffness.
