Stock up Health-friendly ‘Dabbas’
Isn’t it amazing to have movie nights on weekends? It becomes more fun when potato chips, popcorns, noodles, and cold drinks are added. But you know how gut-friendly those are? Cut them out asap!
Replace those with snacks having nutritional value and long shelf-life. Munch upon -
· Makhanas
· Masala oats
· Unpackaged fruit juices
· Nuts
· Seeds, etc to avoid temptation of junk food. Fine example of ‘Small Habits, Big Change’
Stay H2O charged
Easy to crack right? Exactly! Easy to follow as well. Stay hydrated throughout the day and reduce excessive sugary drinks.
Subsume physical activities
Circle that half an hour you waste on your screen and move your body. Exercise, dance, anything! Get some physical work done. Morning runs, outdoor games in evenings, work best.
Stress Management
Students these days experience intense stress due to academic pressure, thus negatively affecting on their mental health, studies, schedule, and relationships with others. Practice mindfulness, get atleast 7-8 hours of sleep, read self-help books, and talk to close friends and family. Sharing really helps.
Balance between Mental and Physical
Health
Mental health and physical health are equally important. Make sure you care for your mini brain as much as you do it for your physical health.
Final note –
Thus, by adopting these little habits, you can experience a top-tier hostel life. Wishing you a HaPpY hOsTeL LiFe!
