The food we eat is the ultimate mantra to good health. We ought to choose wisely. The millennial generation has changed the way food is perceived and consumed. Food plays a major role in how healthy or not a generation turns out to be.

Today’s generation is bombarded with junk foods and aerated drinks, destroying not just physical fitness, but physiological health as well with its adverse effects. “To stay well, you eat well”!

Food and food joints have understood the requirements of today’s taste buds and are catering to what is severely unhealthy to the body. They fail to realize and notice the effects of consuming junk food regularly. Obesity, diabetes, cardio-related concerns, hypertension, untimely aging, stress, and cholesterol are a few health-related concerns we face today. Cancer is another chronic concern related to all the severely preserved, packed, and junked food we eat.

Eating healthy has become more of a “style statement” and eating junk, is a lifestyle! Burgers, pizzas, fried food, aerated cold drinks, and many more such fried and fatty foods have taken over healthy meals leaving behind more people with severe lifestyle and food habit-related health issues.

Eating “healthy” is now an expensive affair!

Deteriorating health, on one hand, there are many cases of mental and psychological instability and stagnation seen in today’s generation mainly due to unhealthy food habits.

Fruits and vegetables are not as healthy as they used to be – nothing is fresh anymore – everything is adulterated with artificial pesticides and fertilizers. From snacks made out of plastic and poultry intoxicated with steroids, most of what we consume today is unhealthy.

To begin making a difference, we must begin with making more healthy choices. From buying fruits and vegetables from local vendors and farmers to avoiding packaged and preserved factory-made foods, we can take small steps to a healthier life.

We must always remember – a healthy mind and a healthy body is what we need to maintain well-being and inspire good health in our future generations!

To begin with, freedom comes with great accountability. You earn freedom when you are wholly mindful of what you are capable of, competent on, and responsible for. The more you practice being yourself and taking ownership of your actions, the more liberated you become.

You have to make smart choices and savvy decisions to reach what is called absolute freedom. Your choices and actions have an impact on how liberated you are as a person. The more you know yourself and take accountability for who you are as an individual, the better understanding you have about your freedom.

Taking ownership of your life and actions is a great way to impart your ideologies to those around you. You radiate confidence and inspire others to take decisions that can eventually lead them to their freedom.

To be candid if I can, freedom is not just about living by yourself, doing things yourself and not being accountable to anyone. It is in fact much greater. It is understanding, why you are doing what you are doing. That very understanding of your drive, your inspiration, your goals and your passion is the core of being liberated as an individual.

Freedom therefore is accountability, the right attitude towards life, wise choices, the character you possess, the actions you take and the ones you don’t, the standing you build for yourself and ownership of your life. It is not just actions… It is a way of life.

Always remember, with freedom to think and act the way you want comes great responsibility towards yourself. Own your life. Own your actions. Own your freedom.

Your body loaded with energy, the beats, and the aura expresses who you are as a person. Hence it is your commitment to sustain good health and hygiene to keep your body positive. Furthermore you are accountable to do right by your body. Yes, that’s the message.

Little efforts like clipping your nails, keeping your hair uncluttered, wearing fresh clothes, eating a balanced diet, and not indulging in harming your system with external elements like illegal substances can go a long way.

Maintaining a positive outlook, controlling anxiety and stress with support and help, knowing what your body needs, keeping your physical health a priority, and making sure your body gets all the appropriate nourishment and care from your end are very important. Give your body the respect it requires.

Today, women who tend to dislike their bodies are in millions. Right from a young age! This must change. Men who do not maintain proper hygiene and lifestyle habits also must start caring for their bodies the earliest.

Your aura, your vibes, and your personality, all depend on how you maintain, preserve and respect your body. Your appearance, big or small, thin or chubby, it’s how you carry yourself that matters the most.

You don’t need a flat stomach, broader shoulders, thin legs, and abs to look good. Looking good comes from someplace deep than what mere eyes see on the outside. Therefore, kick-start a lifestyle that suits you, where you love and care for who you are and what you are – from inside and out!

Communication is one of the numerous necessary aspects of getting information across an individual or a group of individuals. The medium and the methods of communication rapidly increased as the advances, improvements, and progress in the field of technology skyrocketed.

Since 2018, the world has expanded dramatically, and so has how we communicate with one another.

In late December 2019, the world was hit by the Pandemic, and social media, and virtual communication soared to new heights. It was unseen, unreal, and beyond imagination. If we look at the timeline…

We have more online portals and applications today than we had perhaps two years back. With more grocery apps, more movie apps, higher rates of subscribers to OTT platforms, umpteen opportunities for virtual communication, virtual interviews, more working hours clocked online, an increase in usage and users of social media like Instagram and Facebook, everything has become just as far our fingers can go!

Letter writing is an art that died a few years ago. Normal telephone calls don’t happen as much today. Everything has become more mobile, more ‘on the go’. More and more video calls than meeting up in person. We are taken over by technology. We forget our roots!

This is when we need to realize that there are a few things we need to hold on to and show our future generations – like being more available for one another – encouraging communication on a more personal level.

We must continue to write letters, make phone calls, meet our friends and family, sit down for meals together, and so on. This will help us remember, cherish and contribute values that we have been brought up with to the next generation.

Though technology and advancements are part of our lives, we must understand and value what we have come through. After all, it was not that bad!

Pause and ponder!
Pause and reflect!
Pause and rekindle!
