Dear Komalji
Pranaam!
Thank you for your service in helping people like me.
I am female, 45, getting fit for first time.
I am 5”3, 75 kilos, age 44.
What is best exercise for me -- yoga, walking, zumba or something else?
How I should change food habits?
Poonam
Ans: Fitness is very essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Incorporate healthy food habits and focus on body toning to start with.
Include foods like whole grains, fruits and vegetables as a source of fibre and good protein sources like milk and milk products, eggs, legumes and lean meat.
Avoid high fat, high sugar, packaged foods, fruit juices, alcohol, etc.
Follow a regular schedule of exercise that includes cardio and strengthening exercises.
Drink plenty of water to remain hydrated.
