Daily movement is far more better than formal exercise. When u move u r burning calories, lubricating ur joints, improving ur blood circulation. The human body is meant to move not sit on a desk for 12 hours. People who sit more are typically 1/6 #gettingfitterwithSandeep

..less healthy. Daily movement is key to healthy life. If u do a desk based job, set a timer and walk for 5 minutes every hour. Track ur steps. Maybe u don’t have time for a formal one hour exercise but u can do three 10 minute walk. My Grand mom is 92 and the fittest 2/6

..in the family. She is constantly moving. If someone rings door bell, she is the first one to reach the door to open. When I come back from office she will ask पराठे बना दूँ। She never went to the gym. Scientifically this is proven also in the seven pockets of the world 3/6

Thanks to Covid we have been hearing a lot about Immune System. So lets talk Immune System. Our Immune Systems job is to determine the difference between 'us' and 'not us' such as toxins, virus, bacteria or any other compound that does not belong to us and may cause harm to us

Our immune system can also be stimulated by psychological stress and it doesn't always need an actual physical pathogen such as virus to increase inflammation. Our GI tract has a careful sorting system to determine which substance are threat and which are harmless food particles.

Immune System has two general branches
1. Innate Immune System - This develops when we are young. This is our first line of defence. It includes physical barriers like mucous lining in nasal passages or stomach acids.

Have you heard/read Urban-Rural Epidemiology? They studied hand-grip strength associated over a 40 year period with all-cause mortality.The evidence was astoundingly clear: greater grip strength correlated with lower risk of death.Grip strength is a function of muscle strength.

If there is one single thing you can do to improve your life across all areas…More energy..Less stress from work and life…Less pain…More libido…Less body fat…Stronger bones…
Its in increasing strength. Its in increasing muscle density.

Choosing workouts, specially if u r over 40, that will help Myofibrillar hypertrophy, will help build more muscle fibres. From my experience and talking to various coaches I understand the best way is heavier lift with low rep for Myofibrillar hypertrophy.

I find it surprising when people ‘complete’ their sleep hours during weekend. I mean they will sleep 4-5 hours over the week and then sleep 10-12 hours over weekend to compensate. Unfortunately sleep is not like a bank where you can carry forward the sleep debt

Week after week, this sleep debt escalates. Sleep of the best medical insurance you can do. It’s a cure all medicine. There are thousands of studies that prove that even an hours sleep deprivation daily can cause havoc with your hormones,

Young healthy men sleeping just four hours a night for four nights end up with a level of testosterone equivalent to that of someone 10 years older. In other words, inadequate sleep, even for a few nights, will ‘age’ a man by over a decade in terms of such hormonal virility.

No matter what type of exercise you prefer, make sure that you observe your breath and become aware of your inner body. Bring your entire attention from your mind into your body. Move with every cell of your body, from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.

Allow your body to find its perfect work rate by breathing through nose in a steady &regular fashion. Continue to increase pace to the point where ucan maintain steady & regular nasal breathing. If your have to open your mouth to breathe,u will know that the intensity is too much

As you run, feel each gentle connection between your feet and the ground as you propel yourself forward. Avoid pounding the road as this will lead to sore hips &joints and other possible injuries. Instead, bring a feeling of lightness to ur body and visualise yourself barely

When it comes to your health we all talk of exercise, diet, nutrition, sleep etc but we tend to miss posture. Position in which u hold your body through out your 24 hours- when you stand, sit or sleep. If your posture is not right, u will not only experience muscles tightness,

but also your nerves or organs may not be working efficiently as there is compression involved. Posture is key for good health. Many of us suffer from poor posture. Here are some key points to check about how to have a proper posture. Let’s talk today on standing posture.
