Some Evenings Feel Heavier Than Others

After a long day, it’s not always your body that’s tired — sometimes it’s your mind carrying everything it didn’t get a chance to release. Work pressure, family responsibilities, unanswered messages, unfinished plans… it all piles up quietly.

You don’t need a perfect routine to feel better. Some evenings just need slower moments — a short walk outside, sitting quietly without your phone, or breathing in fresh air as the day ends. Those small pauses help your body let go of what it’s been holding all day.

If today felt heavy, that’s okay. Take a moment for yourself. You’ve earned it.

Reduce intake of harmful fats
Fats consumed should be less than 30% of your total energy intake. This will help prevent unhealthy weight gain and NCDs. There are different types of fats, but unsaturated fats are preferable over saturated fats and trans-fats. WHO recommends reducing saturated fats to less than 10% of total energy intake; reducing trans-fats to less than 1% of total energy intake; and replacing both saturated fats and trans-fats with unsaturated fats.
The preferable unsaturated fats are found in fish, avocado and nuts, and in sunflower, soybean, canola and olive oils; saturated fats are found in fatty meat, butter, palm and coconut oil, cream, cheese, ghee and lard; and trans-fats are found in baked and fried foods, and pre-packaged snacks and foods, such as frozen pizza, cookies, biscuits, and cooking oils and spreads.

🔥 Movement: The Medicine Your Body Was Built For

Your body is designed to move — not just during workouts, but throughout the day. Even a few minutes of light movement every hour can wake up your muscles, boost your circulation, and clear your mind. Sitting for long stretches slows everything down: your metabolism, your focus, your energy, even your mood.

You don’t need a gym to stay healthy. Stretch while working, take short walks, stand up and breathe deeply, or do a few body-weight moves at home. Consistent daily movement keeps your body young, your joints flexible, and your mind refreshed.

Consume less salt and sugar
Reduce your salt intake to 5g per day, equivalent to about one teaspoon. It’s easier to do this by limiting the amount of salt, soy sauce, fish sauce and other high-sodium condiments when preparing meals; removing salt, seasonings and condiments from your meal table; avoiding salty snacks; and choosing low-sodium products.
On the other hand, consuming excessive amounts of sugars increases the risk of tooth decay and unhealthy weight gain. In both adults and children, the intake of free sugars should be reduced. WHO recommends consuming less than 5% of total energy intake for additional health benefits. You can reduce your sugar intake by limiting the consumption of sugary snacks, candies and sugar-sweetened beverages.

Work on breathing
Learning to breathe properly will boost your energy levels, calm your mind and assist your immune system. You don’t need to buy anything and you don’t even need to leave your desk. Focus on breathing deeply and evenly, trying to match the length of the exhales to the length of the inhales.

☀️ The Healing Power of Morning Sunlight

A few minutes of morning sunlight is one of the simplest yet most powerful health boosters. That warm glow on your skin helps regulate your body’s internal clock, improving your sleep at night and your energy during the day. Sunlight also triggers your body to produce vitamin D — a nutrient essential for strong bones, immunity, and mood regulation.

Instead of immediately reaching for your phone, try stepping outside for 10 minutes after waking. Let your body soak in natural light, breathe deeply, and start your day grounded. Your mind, mood, and health will thank you.

🌿 Stress: The Hidden Weight on Your Body

Stress isn’t just in your mind — it leaves fingerprints all over your health. When your body stays in “fight or flight” mode for too long, your heart works harder, your digestion slows down, your sleep gets disturbed, and your immune system weakens. That constant tension can even show up as headaches, fatigue, or muscle pain.

Learning to manage stress is not about avoiding life’s challenges but about giving your body space to recover. Deep breathing, walks in nature, journaling, or even a few quiet moments without screens can calm your system. Your health depends on how well you release the weight you can’t see.

💧 Hydration: The Silent Key to Energy

Your body is more than half water, yet most people walk around quietly dehydrated every day. Even mild dehydration can cause headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and trouble focusing — making you think you’re tired or sick when your body is simply thirsty.

Water fuels every cell, helps regulate temperature, cushions your joints, and keeps your skin glowing. Forgetting to drink is like asking your body to run on half power. Keep a bottle nearby, sip throughout the day, and listen when your body whispers for water — before it has to shout.

Use plenty of herbs and spices
There is a variety of herbs and spices at our disposal these days, more so than ever. They not only provide flavor but also may offer several health benefits as well.

For example, ginger and turmeric both have potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which may help improve your overall health

Avoid artificial trans fats
Artificial trans fats are harmful, man-made fats that are strongly linked to inflammation and heart disease (68).

Avoiding them should be much easier now that they have been completely banned in the United States and many other countries. Note that you may still encounter some foods that contain small amounts of naturally occurring trans fats, but these are not associated with the same negative effects as artificial trans fats
