I am suffering, so you don’t have to!

That’s an interesting Title I found for this blog. I thought first writing for my team and then thought I would do it for wider audience. Apart from drawing a little more salary than an average job holder, Software job bring along a lot of life style issues. Of course I am in class obese when they calculated my BMI  with the joint pains and stress related issues. Moving from modelling (whoa..whoa.. don’t assume much. I meant I was slim enough to be the part of Fashion shows in earlier organization) to obese was little more than unacceptable reality for me. I met doctor since I decided cycling and broke my ligament. That was just a beginning. Starting from high blood pressure, chance of getting high sugar level, I am now under medication for many diseases including the knee cap. There are few things doctor suggested to me to do and I am here to share that with you.
Note:  This note is not for fitness freaks  and neither am I including general comments of brisk walking or jogging.

Sitting Posture:

  • Sit straight preferably in a non revolving chair
  • I know the earlier one is not practical, but in a revolving chair you can lock the upright position.
  • Set the height of the chair so that your legs are parallel to the rotating fixture

Exercises:

One of the common issue we face is Neck pain and shoulder or back pain. It is because of the prolonged sitting and lack of any activity.
  • Sit straight and rotate your neck left in a slow but sturdy movement.
  • Then to the right, up and down without moving the body.
  • Tilt your neck so that your ears touch the left and then right shoulders.
  • Stretch your hand often and
  • Do not sit for a longer time.

Food:

Do not eat Junk food. I know this is not practical as well so when you eat out follow these simple tricks,
  • Drink water before a party
  • Do not go for grocery shopping or to get a take away while hungry.
  • Eat Salad as much as possible, this will cut intake of main course and starters.
  • Avoid that extra cheese in your pizza and butter in your masala.

Non Vegetarians:

  • Eat only chicken vs red meat.
  • Prefer grilled against fried starters or dishes.
  • Prefer Gravy based against fried dishes.

Vegetarians:

  • Avoid Ghee and butter .
  • Avoid or reduce Caffeine.
  • How about a Veg Kadai instead of Panneer butter masala?
Be healthy and stay Healthy.. I have learned it hard way, and still not much progressed.
