1. Workout or exercise
Evening time is the best time for workout. If you have not been able to exercise in the morning, then you can do light exercises like brisk walking, jogging, or cycling in the evening. This keeps your body active and removes the fatigue of the day. Regular evening exercise also improves heart health and metabolism.
2. Yoga or meditation
Doing yoga or meditation is very beneficial to keep the mind calm at the end of the day. Meditation reduces mental stress and makes the body feel fresh. Doing easy yoga asanas like Tadasana, Bhujangasana and Shavasana stretches the body and relaxes the muscles.
3. Healthy snacking
One feels hungry in the evening, but unhealthy snacking can lead to weight gain. So eat healthy snacks like fruits, nuts, sprouts, or green tea. It not only satisfies your hunger but also provides nutrients to the body.
4. Cool down and stretching
Sitting or working continuously throughout the day can cause stiffness in the body. To remove this stiffness, do light stretching in the evening, which brings flexibility in the muscles and relieves fatigue. Stretching relaxes the body and improves blood circulation.
5. Go for a walk
A light walk of 15-20 minutes after eating improves your digestive system and helps in controlling weight. Walking in the evening is beneficial for both mind and body.
6. Limit screen time
It is also important to spend evening time away from mobile, computer and TV. Excessive screen time affects the eyes and brain. Instead, read a book or spend time with family.
7. Drink water
We often forget to drink water in the evening, which can lead to dehydration. So drink adequate amounts of water throughout the day and evening. Water helps in smooth functioning of all the body parts and maintains energy.
8. Be moderate in dinner
Keep dinner light and balanced, which includes vegetables, salad, and light roti or dal. Heavy food can slow down digestion at night, which affects sleep and there is a risk of weight gain.
9. Positive thinking and mental peace
Take some time for yourself in the evening, in which you reflect on the experience of the day. Try to have positive thinking, which reduces stress and helps in maintaining mental balance.
10. Prepare for good sleep
Good sleep is necessary to stay fit. Prepare your body and mind for sleep from the evening itself. Light stretching, meditation or drinking a cup of warm milk improves sleep and relaxes the body.
By adopting these habits in the evening, you can not only stay fit but also maintain a healthy lifestyle.
