Dear Komal
I am a fun loving guy, 26 years, 5’9” height, 82 kgs.
I love to snack -- wafers, chiwda, chakli, fafda -- any savoury snack, any time, and I am game.
I like my drink too… a couple of glasses every day and without limit when I am with friends.
During the lockdown, all this was not available.
Now that it is, I am back to normal.
But I realise that there is a difference in my health.
How do I start taking care? Since there is no lockdown, it will not be easy for me to resist.

In today's times, immunity is of prime importance.

A healthy lifestyle, including a well-balanced diet and a fitness regimen is very essential.

Avoid unhealthy fried foods, sugary foods and high fat savouries which lower our immunity.

Stick to eating regular and fresh foods like vegetables, fruits and salads, which provide the fibre component essential for improving metabolism and gut health.

Cardio activities and strength training exercises will go a long way in building a healthy home and family.

When children grow in such an environment, they acquire similar habits, leading to a healthy generation.

Your profile indicates that you are overweight.

To increase immunity, focus on losing fat percentage by refraining from high fat and sugar food, juices, hard or soft drinks, fast foods etc.

You must get your blood sugar levels under control as uncontrolled diabetes is a prime reason of low immunity.

Avoid refined food products and sweets and incorporate a daily exercise schedule.

Eat high fibre foods to increase gut health and reduce the glycaemic index.

Refrain from indulging in fried foods and oily foods to reduce your cholesterol level.

Follow a daily exercise schedule to increase metabolic rate and strength.
