The last year may have been a new phase in working styles with more and more companies deciding to go online completely, but it has wreaked havoc upon our health, as our work and home life collided. Rujuta Diwekar shows 5 ways we can take care of ourselves during the pandemic –
-
Stay at home, eat at home
The most important food right now is that stuff which helps fight infections. And we’re not talking about kale salads. Your traditional home foods need to be part of your daily diet. Limit the takeaways and think:
-
Rice pej/ Kanji for dinner
-
Aliv Laddoo for a mid meal snack
-
Amboli (pulses, rice, herbs) for breakfast
-
Stretch & Exercise
Apart from exercising, stretching is very important for many reasons. The primary one being that it prepares you for every workout and prevents injuries.
Also, Yogasanas like Supta Buddha Konasana, Adho Mukho Swastikasana and Parshva Upavistha Konasana make up the Iyengar Yoga Sequence, which will help you deal with aches, pains and joints.

Sleep (plus sneak in a nap)
