Diet is a very important factor in one's health and wellness. But it is often misunderstood and misinterpreted.
Example: If you refuse an extra helping of home made food, people ask, "Are you on diet? "
People often interpret "eating less = being on diet". Even when it is home cooked meals. See the pictures to understand and help yourself make the right choices.

A few (read 2-3) years ago, I was a non-runner... I would not describe myself as an athlete, still not today either... But having completed 3 half marathons in the last 3 years makes me feel proud about myself.
As I step into my 43rd year, this is the best gift I can give myself, to my body and to my family- a healthy and active individual.
Debunking several myths and false beliefs, women can (and should) start some kind of a physical activity once they hit their 30s. And running is an excellent way to start that.
All thanks to my hubby who has been wholly behind my journey and still is!

Who wants to begin theirs?

My second ever half-marathon, improved my previous best by 5 minutes.
Thank you

Had the usual butterflies for the last one week, almost dropped out due to severe shoulder pull and migraine just the day before... But thanks to my supportive family and mainly my husband that I finally made it to the starting line. The rest was the result of my limited training for the last one and half months!

For someone who has no athletic background, starting the running journey after 40 years of age, just 2 years back with 2 kids and hectic housework, this is a great feeling.

Yes, women can run and should run. Not just the athletic ones, but also moms, office goers and housewives.

Also big thanks to (runners of Kalpakkam/ Anupuram) for the support.

This is just the start... More to come

Overwhelmed to be featured in official video for this year's edition of DRHM in Chennai.

Hence I "stretched" myself to a 2 hr looong run in preparation for the event.

I needed that "🔥" in my legs... or rather the socks 🧦.. 😁

Registration starts today... And so does my preparation. Battling my own demons to put up a good time... With support of my husband

Starting strength training, cardio and stretching again.. You can do it too!

Hope to see many of you girls there!!

Just because something is homemade, it isn't always healthy. Don't fall into this trap. Some of the foods we make at home are sometimes equally bad as that junk food from outside. It is okay once in a while (weekly once). Or less depending on your current health.
And this is excluding the unhealthy fast food from outside.
You still have to know the nutrition basics to bring the best food to the table! One of the biggest culprits in homemade foods is the amount of oil. Learn how to use the right oils or better yet go oil-free cooking to save your arteries and heart ❤!!

DM me to learn more!

The fourth pillar of optimal health is Nutrition. And it is an important one. The basics of nutrition are quite simple but people often get trapped by fast foods and fad foods. Good nutrition has to be sustainable in the long run. No quick fixes, no magic pills or potions and certainly not a one time intake. It is a lifestyle option, one which you can pursue during your lifetime.

The third pillar of optimal health is Sleep or rest. In pursuit of an active lifestyle, monetary rewards, family responsibilities or even daily entertainment (like late night binge movie watching) , sleep or rest often is neglected. Our daily activity level, immunity, stress levels are directly related to a good night's sleep🌙⏰💤💤

Make sleep a priority, give your body the natural healing power🔋🔋

Double tap if you are getting your beauty sleep no matter who, where or what

The second pillar of health and often overlooked is "Attitude"
It is often said that your "attitude" determines your "altitude"
Attitude is Everything - Jim Keller
Work on your attitude and get an easy way to uplift you.
You can begin by feeling grateful of little things. This little start can help go a long way in your mental health.
