Following are some of the off-beat, but essential and trending tips that will bring people closer towards achieving their health goals as shared by Dr. Santosh Datar, Medical Director, Ziqitza Healthcare :

1) Digital Detox– One of the toughest, yet effective forms of detox is digital detox. Experts have been warning individuals against constant exposure to screens for a while now. Apart from it damaging your eyes, it causes fatigue, sluggishness, and irritability due to lack of sleep and prolonged usage of devices. Being obsessed with gadgets around you could also lead to the negligence of your personal life. To avoid this, a certain degree of self-discipline must be exercised. Experts at Ziqitza Healthcare states that as working on screens has become inevitable, set realistic targets at the beginning rather than getting addicted to them, like reducing the usage of one particular device, making an essential gadget list and giving yourself a daily screen allowance. A double tip like this could be a start to your digital detox.

2) High-intensity Interval Training (HIIT)– The most valid excuse for slacking on exercise is the lack of time. Working out essentially requires at least an hour’s commitment and that is unfeasible for most people. With HIIT, you need to commit no more than 30 minutes and you can still achieve successful results. Most health clubs and gymnasiums design a short workout for people devoid of the luxury of time. HIIT provides the same benefits that a regular workout does and more, due to the high intensity wherein you continue to burn calories after the workout as your body replaces energy and repairs muscle proteins that were damaged during the exercise. However, due to the intense stress experienced, you should only perform this workout two or three times a week to ensure complete replenishment of energy.

3) Immunity Awareness: The medical team at Ziqitza Limited emphasised that the Individuals have realized the importance of good immunity which help us to fight many infections. Immunity boosting measures such as adequate sleep, nutritious food, avoidance of junk food, maintaining optimal weight, regular exercise and physical activity, stress control measures, control of diabetes, control of other infections, personal hygiene and avoidance of tobacco and alcohol are likely to be followed more. It may be noted that good immunity does not develop overnight and but takes time. 

4) Organic Food– The real dilemma in everyone’s mind is the difference in quality between a conventionally grown crop and an organically grown crop. While both inherently offer the same benefits, organic food offers a moderate increase in some nutrients and healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and has lower detectable levels of pesticide residue, as opposed to conventionally grown food. It is also not as expensive as it is readily available at most supermarkets. Similar observations were made by Ziqitza Rajasthan.
