In the hustling-bustling of everyday life, we fail to give importance to what to eat, how to eat, and when to eat. We all want to lead a long healthy life. But, do we do the right things to stay healthy? What to eat, how to eat, and when to eat are the 3 three most important things that we need to adhere to, if we are to stay healthy.
We see many 40+ aged men & women doing brisk walks in the neighborhood and the local parks.
Do you think they do it out of their volition to stay fit?
No. It is only out of fear, worrying about the consequences if they don’t do it.

Some people have become obese, a few have diabetes, and others have cardiovascular diseases.
Do you know what led them to their current state?
Their callous food habits, sedentary lifestyle, and irregular sleep patterns caused all the troubles.
Most of us do not know what, when, and how to eat. Let’s see together how to get everything right.
What to eat:
In the era of the digital world, there is no scarcity of information. Social media influencers and celebrities advise us on how to stay fit to promote products. Influenced by it, we try all sorts of alien foods.
Trying a new food or recipe is ok once in a while for pleasure eating. Pleasure eating sometimes might lead to overeating.
Our forefathers had healthy eating habits. They only ate what grew in their gardens or farms. They preferred only organic food.
Anything foreign, they would avoid.
Things to keep in mind:
- Consume vegetables and fruits grown only in your locality
- Eat only organic food.
- Some vegetables (Carrot, cabbage, Cucumber, and tomato) can be had raw.
- Include nuts and sprouts in your diet
- Say ‘No’ to carbonated drinks.
- Drink sufficient water
When to eat:
Sometimes we skip a meal due to busy work schedules. On other occasions, we end up overeating at parties. We do not keep track of how many calories we gain from each meal.
Advice on when to eat:
We should finish our meals between sunrise and sunset. After sunset, if required, we can have liquid food. The food consumed after sunset does not get digested fully. It can lead to numerous health hazards. There should be a gap of 4 hours between each meal. Snacking in between meals is also overeating. Do not eat when you are not hungry.
How to eat:
Some cues to bear in mind:
- Chew the food well.
- Avoid drinking water during the meal.
- Do not have any arguments while having your food.
- Avoid overcooked food.
- It is better to consume food within 2 hours of cooking.
- Do not consume anything too cold or too hot.
A balanced diet will lead to a healthy life. Ensure it contains all the minerals, vitamins, and proteins in the right amount.
With the above food habits, regular sleep patterns, and a disciplined lifestyle, it is always possible to lead a near-perfect healthy life.
We all want a long healthy life, Don’t we?
