Happiness - Key To Healthy Life.

Happiness is the key to healthy life.
In my every day practice I am seeing that patients are suffering from aches, pains, bone degeneration, muscular weakness etc. at very early age as compared to our parents/grandparents. At times a 70 year old gentleman use to look more fitter than a 40 year old.

More so is the case with women. These days women are trying to prove to the world that they are Superwoman and in doing so are loosing a lot. From taking care of the whole household to having a responsible job in office has taken its toll on them.

I am not saying that it is wrong in doing all this but what I am trying to say is DO THOSE JOBS THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. DON'T DO THINGS THAT DON'T INTEREST YOU.

These days I find lot of women taking up jobs because it gives them additional income. If the  job gives happiness then and only then it should be taken.


Happiness in Small things
Find happiness in small small things and involve yourself, e.g. if it is someone's birthday wish him or her and celebrate it in a way that gives both of you moments that you cherish..Don't do things as a favour to anyone but do it because it gives you fulfilment.

Re-live your Childhood.

• Play with children and re-live your childhood. Don't go to the park as just a duty but to enjoy every moment spent with children.
• Find creative things to do in your free time- whether it is writing, painting, stitching, cooking, gardening, playing games, music or whatever your heart desires. 
• Don't put age into doing/ or not doing something. It is my kids age to learn music or art etc. 

**Age is just a number. 

Joy Of Giving: Live life every moment and be generous in helping people around you.
Exercise regularly: whether you are walking, swimming, or taking the stairs  to work do 15-20 minutes of something .

Most Important
Lastly have good sleep of 7-8 hours at night to be active through out the day. If you are sleeping less, then there are 80% chances of being Irritable, moody or depressed during the day.

FOOD FOR GOOD HEALTH

We all know how important food is for  our body but  we need to understand what is right to eat.

These days there are lot of advertisements, food channels that show new recipes from across the world and watching these anyone would want to try something new.

Follow few rules before you run for the  kitchen.

• Raw fruits and vegetables are full of vitamins,  minerals and antioxidants which reduce to quite an extent while cooking. It means that if we can eat apples raw it is more nutritious than eating them as tinned or as Apple pie etc.
• Cucumbers, zerkin, carrots, tomatoes are definitely better as raw form rather than having them pickled.
• Processed food should be  avoided as much as possible.  These foods are high in sugar, salt , fat and artificial  agents which are used to enhance the taste. 
• Anything packaged on the shelves of a supermarket which can last more than 10 days is processed. Even dals,  cereals are also processed but these are  less processed.
• If anyone has to eat processed food like baked beans, tuna fish  or any other thing then add lots of raw vegetables to it and roll it in a chapatti and have it 

These foods are definitely hassle free but not nutritious. 

HEALTH IS WEALTH  SO DON'T COMPROMISE IT WITH TASTE

Postpartum depression

Postpartum depression is also common in new moms. For this the mother should have a segregated 'my' time which she is using to communicate with her friends,parents office people or at times getting a massage done or meditating.

During this time she should be stress free and relaxed knowing fully well that her husband or mother or someone is taking good care of the baby.

The Husband should also be appreciative of his wife as to how well she is handling the new role of the mother and should be supportive in handling the baby.

The touch and hug therapy works very well here too wherein it has to be reinforced into the mother that she looks as good as she used to look before.
