Feeling tired and exhausted
all the time? Tanya Datta speaks to experts to find out the right solutions for
you.
You are young and full of life, yet by the evening you feel that you have no energy left in your body. All you dream is to get back to your place and simply crash on your bed! This does sound familiar to you, doesn't it? What you are undergoing is basically a stressed out life schedule which leaves little to no time for yourselves. You are deprives of sleep, exercise, fresh air and sex.
Reports suggest that exercising on a regular basis helps ward off laziness and depression. Fitness expert, Deanne Pandey lays emphasis on moving your body and being a little more active, "A person should at least do some physical exercise of about 45 minutes a day. For working women it sure becomes a little problematic to go to the gym, but they can do simple things like climbing the staircase or maybe taking a stroll in the evenings." Exercising on an already tired body is a no no according to her.
With these fast food joints springing at every nook and cranny, it becomes impossible not to dig into the 'ohh so tasty, but not healthy' junk food. Easy to cook instant food are an added disadvantage for working women, for whom it serves a blessing in disguise. Dietician and sports nutrionist, Dr.Dipshika Aggarwal gives a clear picture to what is right and wrong to eat, "Food can be categorised mainly into two categories—re-energising food and energy draining food. Things like watermelons, carrot and potatoes are considered to be good for the body since they help in rejuvenating our bodies, while fried food, caffeine and spices drain out all the energy." Drinking has never harmed anyone but that means water and other natural drinks and not alcohol. Atleast two litres of water a day is required for human body lest you want to feel exhausted, says Aggarwal.
Everyone is busy all through the day and complain that they do not get time for themselves. But yoga acharya, Utkarsh Sanjanwala says that taking out 5 minutes out of your hectic schedule is not that difficult, "One of the greatest stress buster is to chant 'Om '
either in the mornings or during nights for two to five minutes everyday. This
will help you to calm down and align with the universe." He adds that
there is no right or wrong way to chant this and with time you will be able to
do it in a much better way.
With marriage comes a lot of responisiblity. It is more tough for women who are married to juggle between home and their workplace. It is the support from the family, spouse or friends that acts as a great stress buster. Psychologist, Dr Chandni Mehta says, "Women these days are dividing their time between just her family and office. She needs to pursue a hobby or do something that she really enjoys. Another thing that a women needs to keep in mind is her mood swings which may go up if she does not realise her pressure points. For instance, if a woman knows she losses her cool during a traffic jam, she can then focus her attention on something else. Basically the key is to master your emotions."
