Lifestyle of modern women is ever changing and whether your lifestyle demands you to run around like a bunny or sit tight in a corporate chair, there are major changes happening in your health world. Check out what describes your lifestyle best and what health and beauty benefits you need.

Mostly Home

If you stay or work mostly from home, you need an aromatherapy face scrub, snacks of apples and figs and a few rounds of the surya namaskar.

Positive Health: the good news is that with more opportunities to rest, the body recharges itself-building up muscle, restoring brain tissue and recharging the nervous system.

Negative Health: the bad news is you lack physical exercise leading to weight gain and the onset of lethargy. While it’s normal for everyone to feel a little sluggish, listless or down, prolonged lethargy can lead to depression, low metabolism or hormone imbalances.

Your checklist

Meal: a hearty breakfast with cereal, calcium from milk and vitamins from fruits and nuts is the perfect high energy kick start to your day.

Snack: apples; low in fat, high in fibre, this wonder fruit pushes up sluggish metabolism while making you feel full.

Health fix: skipping. Remember how much fun it was to jump rope as a li’l girl? With no fancy equipment and the only space needed being a corner of your home, skipping is a full body exercise that burns 1,300 calories in an hour!

Beauty product: a rejuvenating face scrub, blended with lime for its energizing effects, basil for stimulation, ginger for invigoration or grapefruit for revival abilities. In lieu of a face scrub, an aromatherapy diffuser with the same oils can also work wonders.

Fitness fix: master the stairs. Walking up and down stairs burns 300 to 500 calories in half an hour.

Yoga pose: the surya namaskar asanas performed in a systematic order is a complete body workout. Forty rounds of the surya namaskar is equivalent to 30 minutes on a treadmill.
