Almond Board of California, on Thursday hosted a session about ‘Holistic well-being: How can Indian families stay healthy in 2021’.
The panel included well-known Fitness and Celebrity instructor, Yasmin Karachiwala, Ritika Samaddar, Regional Head – Dietetics, Max Healthcare – Delhi and Sheela Krishnaswamy, Nutrition and Wellness Consultant. The panel was moderated by RJ Meha of ISHQ FM.
The session emphasised on the takeaways and learnings from the ongoing pandemic, and highlighted how families across India can revisit their diet and fitness choices, and instead adopt a variety of small changes to lead happier, fitter and healthier lifestyles as the year advances.
These included things like, relooking at one’s overall fitness routine to make it sync with one’s lifestyle and long term health goals, balancing exercise routine with planned diets and mindful snacking, and including a handful of almonds to the daily diet to reap a mix of benefits, along with weight and diabetes management, heart health and immunity.
Commenting on the importance of striving to get a perfect balance between fitness and nutrition, Fitness Expert and Celebrity Master Instructor, Yasmin Karachiwala said, “Having experienced the Covid-19 pandemic, a lot of us now realize the importance of staying fit and healthy.
The pandemic also made us understand that we don’t need any expensive equipment, or a gym membership to stay fit. A brisk walk, a jog around the neighborhood or a quick high-intensity workout daily can be your fitness regime for the day.”
Highlighting the importance of nutrition, Yasmin said, “I always say – your health regime is 70% diet and 30% workout! The trick to making sure your family’s fitness is to adopt this mantra. Make sure to exercise for at least 1hour every day, and balance this with eating right."
