Lifestyle Diseases? Follow These Incredible Tips!
๐ฅ Welcome to Health Mitra! This episode tackles a crucial topic—Lifestyle Diseases among Software Engineers. The digital era has gifted us with convenience but also with health risks. Let’s explore how small changes, like incorporating meditation and yoga, can help us regain control over our health.
What Are Lifestyle Diseases?
Kirti:
"UNO defines lifestyle diseases as chronic health conditions triggered by modifiable behaviours like smoking, poor diet, and lack of physical activity. These lead to serious illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and certain cancers.
There’s also a new kind of addiction: Sitting! It’s said that ‘Seating is the new smoking,’ and prolonged sitting in front of computers can have disastrous effects."
Tips to Combat Lifestyle Diseases
JZ:
Here’s what you can do to stay healthy:
1️⃣ Think of a Standing Desk – It helps reduce sitting time and promotes better posture.
2️⃣ Keep a Squeeze Ball – Relieve stress and keep your hands active.
3️⃣ Align Your Screen at Eye Level – This prevents neck strain.
4️⃣ Prioritize Posture and Movement – Walking isn’t enough. You need anti-gravity exercises."
Kirti:
"JZ, which exercises would you recommend that are better than walking?"
JZ:
"Try anti-gravity activities:
- Climbing the staircase
- Using a trampoline
- Jumping rope
And don't forget the basics—eye and neck exercises. For example, blink with both eyes frequently to relax eye muscles!"
Mantra
Kirti:
"What’s your mantra for thriving in the new normal, JZ?"
JZ:
"You must measure to improve. Track:
- Step count
- Breath rate
- Calories burned
Also, cultivate a hobby to maintain mental health."
Diet & Happiness Tips (12:00 - 18:00)
Kirti:
"Any dietary tips?"
JZ:
"Yes! No electronics during dinner, especially if you’re eating at sunset. Engage with your food mindfully."
Kirti:
"That’s great advice. What about happiness hormones?"
JZ:
"We need to boost oxytocin and endorphins—the key happiness hormones—to reduce stress and stay positive."
