How do you manage your lifestyle for a healthy way of living?

Personally, I think the underlying factor for me has been being strict with myself. I try to work out 6x a week on a regular basis. Using my finances wisely with healthy meals. I mean, a burger from Louis Burger or a Pizza from Pizza Bakery is baller but in the long run that's a real killer. Finally, I have been trying to prioritize sleep which means don't scroll reels/social media for 30 minutes before bed if it is 1am already.

What about you?

I try. I try. But people around me are pushing much harder. One colleague used to smoke like a train and then quickly turned things around when his wife got pregnant and turned into a marathoner ffs.

I'm 24yo. I have created a diet that gives me all the vitamins and nutrients. I workout 6 days a week. I have banned sugar for 1year+. No alcohol, cigarette, fast food(yup). Most important, I practice Yog (not yoga) 1hr in the morning. My health was very average a year ago. Now I'm full of life. Hope it helps

I have been overweight for the first 25 years of my life and finally adopted a morning routine for the past 2years, I wake up at 630, go for a casual run 3-4km , then play badminton everyday from 730 to 8:30/9:00 get back home leave for work at 10, I usually come back home by 9/10 one hour to myself , skip dinners and I feel amazing throughout the day. It gets easier but you gotta do it every day...

I’ve lately realised the only thing that can keep me sane from all the work-related stress is exercise and self-care. Adding my major changes below:

  • Meal prep for atleast 4 days a week. Helps me consciously choose what I eat. Plus don’t have to spend 30-40 mins scrolling swiggy-zomato and waiting for orders.
  • 60 mins in the gym everyday. Even on the days I don’t feel like going, I make it a point to simply show up at the gym and do some ‘active recovery’. Getting to the gym is pain, but the after effects are totally worth it.
  • Badminton at least 3-4 times a week through Playo with friends. This is mainly to replace my social activity by replacing nashe sesh with an hour of active playing with friends.

I also realized having a stable job is key in all this. That gave me the privilege to focus on these other areas. Otherwise I was always stuck in a hustler rat race.

I bought a cycle and cycling daily for 2-4 kms. Trying to extend the distance to 5 km.

I went to Gym during college but gym trainer is very bad by increasing weights every week and I could not lift after certain period. So I stopped believing in GYMs.

I stopped logging in to YouTube so that they don't recommend what I like and I can incognito anytime for a video.

Screw money, screw career goals - health is the only thing that matters

6 months ago, I started having back pain. Nothing major at first, just a dull ache. I ignored it, like we all do, thinking it would go away. It didn’t. It got worse. Sitting hurt, standing hurt, even lying down wasn’t a relief anymore. ...
