The best things in life are simple, and sometimes, all it takes is small tweaks in our daily habits to make big and healthy changes.
In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Tushar Tayal, consultant, internal medicine at CK Birla Hospital in Gurugram, said, “Living a healthy life doesn’t have to be complicated. Small, daily habits can make a big difference in how you feel and how your body works.”
The doctor further shared 6 daily habits that can pave the way for a healthier and better life.
Carbohydrates like rice, roti, oats, and sweet potatoes give you energy. Choose whole grains instead of white rice or white bread when you can. Include millet in your diet.
Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days. You don’t need a gym. A brisk walk, dancing, cycling, or even cleaning the house can count.
Adults need around 7–8 hours of sleep. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Avoid screens (phone, TV) an hour before bedtime to sleep better.
Take a few minutes daily for meditation, deep breathing, or yoga. It helps reduce stress and improve focus. Even 5–10 minutes of quiet time can help you feel calmer.
Too much alcohol harms your liver and brain. If you drink, do so in moderation (a drink or two occasionally is okay). Smoking damages your lungs and heart—quitting is one of the best things you can do for your health.
Doing these things once in a while won’t help much. The key is making them a part of your daily routine. It’s okay to start small and build up slowly.
