This week participating in @LadiesofHive - Contest #220; questions are:
1️⃣ What are your eating habits like? Do you have favourite self-care recipes? And do you tend to eat whatever you crave for?
~ 𝐀𝐍𝐃 / 𝐎𝐑 ~
2️⃣ Most of us are either working from home or in a office, sitting for hours to get work done. What are the hacks or exercises you do to reduce sedentary challenges?
Regarding my eating habits I have written about it before also and it does not change anything much from that, but yes, for the contest I will give brief about it once again. I like to keep my eating habits simple and clean. For me there are strictly just 2 meals a day. I follow the 16 hours intermittent fasting schedule. There are just very few days when my routine goes for a toss else my schedule is always on track. In these 2 meals, I make it a point to have a balanced nutrition so there is salad, 2 main dish which normally consist of one veggie and one non-veg and then some fruits, this is for lunch which is heavy and then dinner is one dish that's it. Rice is twice a week, on other days I eat food without chapati or bread. I am not into eating any junk food, no aerated drinks. The only bad habit I have is consuming Alcohol, which is also now cut to twice a month and only one drink.
I do have a favorite self care recipe, it's not any food, it's a drink. It's a mix of all the herbs, which I prepare everyday in the morning and then have 2 to 3 cups a day. It's my immunity booster drink. A mix of ginger, mint leaves, Basil leaves, Cloves, Cinnamon stick, Whole Pepper, all boiled in water and then a drop of Oregano oil in it. This recipe is very effective for any throat infection or cold and cough a very good immunity booster. I have been into habit of consuming it since many years and I see very good results of it.
Working from home sometimes you end up working longer hours. I work from home and there are times that for hours together I do not tend to get up from my seat and then suddenly I realize how long I have been sitting in one position which is not good. But I try to be mindful of getting up from my seat every hour and then stretch out a bit. I do some forward and backward bending and around 200 steps moving around in the house and then again get back to work.
I plan some kitchen and house work in-between so that it forces me to get up from the seat and move my body. If it's some work that does not allow me to take these breaks then I make it a point to take a half an hour walk at the end of the day which makes up on the mobility part.
Thank you for visiting my blog. 👼🏻👼🏻💖💖🌹🌺🌸
