Hi, do you believe in magic?
Do you remember Sir James George Frazer explaining homeopathic magic in his famous book "The Golden Bough"?
Do you remember the joke that South Indians eat everything white in a bid to get fair?
Well, beyond the jokes, our food habits have a major effect on our health. Yes, we can control our health by monitoring our diet. So, we must slowly distance ourselves from junk food and incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables in our daily diet. Given the times of the coronavirus, it has become more important than ever, to eat healthy. By eating properly, our immunity will improve and we would be able to fight the virus, when we get infected.
So, stop fretting and bring about the following changes in your food habits.
- Local Seasonal fruits:
Well, there is nothing like the seasonal fruits. They are nutritious and provide us with the necessary vitamins. The vitamins would give us the required strength to fight any virus and recover fast. The fruits would also create the required roughage for a proper bowel movement. Consequently, it helps every organ to function properly. Thus, you would be fit and fine. You must not give up on your daily dose of fruits during vacation. During your Delhi vacation, buy fruits from the local vendors and head straight to one of the hourly couple friendly hotels in Paharganj or any other place for a sumptuous dinner or to snack over the day.
2. Fresh Vegetables:
We all love french fries and burgers, don't we? But, that is not a healthy meal. Potato is also a vegetable. But, it does not provide us with all the required vitamins. We need to incorporate many fresh vegetables for a wholesome meal. The more varied vegetables we eat, the nutritious is our meal. It is a smart choice to cook your own meals and carry them in boxes to savour over the day. During your trip to Delhi or any other place, you can request the receptionist of one of the hourly couple friendly hotels in Dwarka for a kitchenette room. You can cook your own meals after buying the required vegetables from the local vendors. Sometimes, you might get to know about an offbeat tourist spot while chatting with a local vegetable seller. Thus, it is a double bonanza.
3. Eat Slowly:
We live in a fast-paced world. We want to earn money fast, become famous fast and be successful fast. The rat race is at an unimaginable pace. We even want to rise up the housing ladder fast. Now, this pace has affected our life habits in multiple ways. Sadly, it has even affected our eating speed. Since childhood we have been nudged to eat fast and complete our food. Well, our mothers did it so that they could complete their work for the day. But, we have developed it as an habit and happen to eat fast. Many of us, even eat on the go. That is unhealthy. Digestion is important. If we do not digest the food properly, we would not be able to get the nutrients and benefits of the food items. Moreover, it might lead to various digestion problems and disorders. Hence, it is important to eat slowly and chew our food properly. During your Delhi trip, no matter how tired you feel, chew your food properly before heading to one of the hourly couple friendly hotels in Connaught Place to retire for the day.
4. Follow a routine:
It might be tempting to have dinner at midnight and a heavy brunch late in the day. But, it is not healthy, if you do not follow a proper routine. Eating at arbitrary hours can take a toll on our health. You should take measures to maintain your eating schedule, even during a vacation. No matter how tired you feel, do not check into one of the hourly couple friendly hotels in Karol Bagh or any other place, without eating on time. They say, "sleeping before eating is silver". But, it can affect your appetite adversely if each day you surprise your body with meals at odd hours. Besides maintaining a schedule, it is also essential to make sure that you do not skip any meal. Nothing can be worse than skipping meals.
5. Avoid Carbonated Drinks:
Yes, you read that right. It is absolutely important for you to completely forget the existence of carbonated soft drinks. Nothing can affect your health worse than a bottle of carbonated cold drinks. We understand that it is tempting to buy a bottle to unwind at the end of the day in one of the hourly couple friendly hotels near Vasant Vihar, during your Delhi trip. But, you must not be tempted and avoid such indulgence completely. If you feel thirsty, drink water. Else, dig into fresh fruits and vegetables for a sumptuous meal.
6. Portion meals:
The idea is never to just fill your stomach. The idea is to eat right to be healthy and fit. So, it is any day a better option to eat your meal in small portions over the day than all at once. The concept of two-square meals a day is long gone. You would fare better to have multiple meals in smaller quantities all through the day. It is important to remember that we are human beings and not camels. Hence, when you wake up in one of the hourly couple friendly hotels in Delhi do not stuff yourself with a heavy breakfast with the idea to eat again at dinner. That can take a toll on your health. Rather, you should eat your required quantity over the day in multiple intervals. That way, you would always be full and get the nutrition of each and every food item you eat.
The above list is just a few of the points you can practice to improve your food habits. There are many more like abstaining from alcohol and cigarettes. So, stop fretting and take control of your health.
