Are You Doing Your Health Investment? Follow These Simple Tips To Get Started.

Did you know that over 95% of the world's population has some health problem? That's an alarming number. With our stressful lifestyles, health has clearly taken a backseat.

This means that now more than ever, investment in health is a priority.

Here at AsmitA Organic Farms, we understand the importance of being healthy. That's why our Nutrition team has compiled a few simple tips to help you make a healthy investment in the new year.

Let's dive in!

Make use of health and fitness apps

A 2021 study found that the average Indian spends over 5 hours on the phone daily. While we're at it, why not use it to our benefit?

One easy way is by installing health and fitness apps.

These apps come with features like – Goal setting, Progress tracking and Monitoring – that help you set realistic health goals and achieve them. Be it walking daily for 30 mins, curating a customized meal plan or sticking to a workout regimen, the app gives you the motivation and momentum to continue your health journey.

Buy workout equipment

If you can't find time to hit the gym daily, buying workout equipment might be the next best thing to do.

Stationary bikes and other home workout equipment help you enjoy the benefits of a gym, without actually going to one. They are a one-time health investment that will come in handy for years to come.

Depending on your goals, you can purchase:

a stationary cycle or treadmill (for cardio) or

weights, kettlebells and ropes (for strength training).

Eat healthy, organic foods

Hippocrates said – "Let food be thy medicine."

We couldn't agree more.

Conventional produce in most grocery stores is mixed with chemicals, pesticides, fungicides etc. They don't do much good to your body, and they affect your health in the long term.

Nourishing organic food is the best antidote to diseases. Studies have found that organic food contains higher antioxidants, which prevent your body from ageing and support cell regeneration.

Eat healthy, eat safe. At AsmitA Organic Farms, we grow and harvest chemical-free food. Stay tuned as we will soon launch the AsmitA Organic Farms website for you to shop for the best seasonal organic produce.

Get routine checkups

Getting a routine check-up or yearly physical exams helps to identify any diseases which might be present or may occur in future. It's a form of health investment that's more preventative than curative.

Take care of your mental health

Your mental health is as important as your physical health. Whenever we are depressed, anxious, or stressed – it makes a visible difference in our blood pressure levels. So investing in and taking care of your mental health is an important aspect of a balanced healthy life. Simply, eat healthy to live healthy.

One way to do that is by starting a meditation or deep breathing practice. Attend yoga and meditation workshops in your area. There are plenty of guided meditations for beginners available online as well.

Vacations are also effective in improving your mental health. They help break the monotony of routine and the cycle of stress. Once you return to work, you feel rejuvenated and perform even better.

Spend time in nature

Spending time in nature has a whole list of health benefits. It can boost your mood, detoxify your lungs, and make you fitter, happier and more relaxed.

Numerous studies like this one have linked time spent in green spaces with a lower risk of dementia and Alzheimer's.

If you have a community park nearby, go for a walk or jog every morning. Walk barefoot for a few minutes every day. During the weekends, go on a hiking trip or bird-watching adventure in the forest. The clean fresh air will hit your lungs differently.

If you're ready for these health investments in the new year, rest assured they will pay off dividends well into the future.

Get ready to kick start 2023 with a commitment to live a healthier, happier, longer and more fulfilling life.

Best Of Luck. Here's to good health!
