"Self Care" is the buzzword for today's generation. Almost everyone seems to be obsessed with the idea of self-care these days. But people often confuse "self-care" with "self-indulgence." Self-care is not just about mindfulness or skin care. It goes beyond that. Self-care essentially boils down to taking care of your body and your system.
Your spa days and manicures will not improve the quality of your life if you don't put nutritious meals in your system and have an active lifestyle otherwise. Taking care of what you put inside your body (your meals) is the ultimate form of self-care. Your diet and lifestyle will impact your stress, mood, digestion and overall health.
But managing your daily diet is easier said than done. Not everyone has the time to cook healthy and nutritious meals every single day. Neither can you afford to pack a homemade lunch daily. So how do you ensure that your lifestyle is still on the healthier side? Some of these tips might help:
- Eat smaller portions
- Plan better
- Go colourful
