We always keep a tab on every factor of good health but often forget about one of the most vital elements i.e. sound sleep! A night of sound sleep helps in recharging your body and mind while making you more active. 7-9 hours of sleep in a day helps in setting a positive mind-set while charging your body.
- Add in immunity-boosting foods: A change in season brings us closer to flu, viruses and colds. A healthy immunity helps in safeguarding our health from the attack of harmful viruses and bacteria while keeping us all hale and hearty. Do add citrus fruits like lemons, strawberries, oranges, bell peppers, broccoli and kiwis to your diet to strengthen your immune system.
