Anjuum Khanna - Fitness in the physical sense, as well as the mental sense, matters a lot. That’s what most people fail to understand. A fit body consists of both mental fitness in addition to physical fitness. It is of absolute importance that we shape ourselves in such a way that our minds, as well as our bodies, remain fit.
But even with raising awareness about mental health as well as physical health, most people don’t have even the most basic ideas on how to keep their overall health in check. So in today’s Jai Ashok Mahtani blog, we are going to go over some simple tips and tricks that are easy to implement in daily lives.
Take note that not all of them have to be undertaken for a completely fit and healthy body (mind and muscles alike), to get good overall health you need to take care of your brain as well as your body. 2 to 3 practices for both can be more than enough in the long run.
Yoga
What can be said about yoga that has not already been said. Yoga is a wonderful exercise for your body and your mind. Yoga sessions early in the morning have proven to be extremely beneficial as they increase the stretchiness of the body and soothe the brain.

Meditation
A close relative of Yoga is meditation. A meditation session can last from 20 minutes to 40 minutes to an hour depending on the person. A meditation session can calm your mind from any situation, hence it is recommended to meditate every morning and before sleeping. Though again it is all up to the scrutiny of the person meditating. You can meditate whenever you feel like.
Sleep
Many people disregard sleep in their routine which is a very destructive thing to do. A proper 8 hours of sleep is needed to have a fully functioning brain and body. A sleep deficit can lead to a plethora of problems both physical as well as mental. So make sure to get the recommended amount of sleep that is 8 hours.
Jogging
Jogging is a great way to increase blood flow in our bodies. It is a fairly easy cardiovascular exercise and helps with warming up your entire body. Jogging can be done according to your body. There is no need to jog a marathon every day; you can run whatever distance without sprinting as long as you are exercising daily.
Daily runs can tone the body, provide blood rush to your brain, and extend your lives greatly. So pick out a time in the morning to go for a run, and feel the changes happening as time goes on!
Have Some Alone Time
With the fast pace of today, most of the time people seem to flow away with their work. It is very easy to neglect everything and focus on official productivity, and that is one of the leading causes of exponential mental health problems.
Have a time slot in the day that is allotted for you to collect your thoughts, focus on more aspects of your life, and have a balanced approach to how you do things. Increased pressure causes anxiety and a variety of mental health problems, so having a dedicated time to allow your brain to completely rest is a major requirement in the modern generation.
