Ever since I was a child, the one thing my parents have asked
me to be, is to stay fit. I was never a chubby child, I was always a little too
thin and frail looking, but then around my 12th – 13th
year, I started to be normal, in terms of weight (I still am crazy!).
But, even when I was
frail looking, there was one thing my parents kept in mind and that was keeping
me fit! I was not at all frail, though one would easily have said that I “look frail”
, but I was not( those who I beat up can vouch for that :P).
And there was one ingredient that was ever-present in my Mom’s
kitchen which was responsible for keeping me fit! Also, this was accompanied
with various things like Kachi Haldi (Turmeric), Tulsi leaves, tea, lemon and
what not! That ingredient was none other than Honey!
In fact right now, My Mom called and she heard my voice
cracking over the phone (thanks to the weather in Bangalore that results in a
sore throat, always!) and the next thing she said was to have a spoonful of
honey with warm water! Such is the love
of a Mother (major missing happening right now!).
And with Honey there is this one name associated, since the
time I have known what honey is , Dabur.
Every Indian person would know about Dabur Honey and I am sure
that they would have consumed Dabur Honey at least once in their lifetime! And
I am no exception. I love it so much that after trying one or two other brands
I always came back to Dabur Honey!
I cannot do without Honey, honestly!! Irrespective of the
season I need a spoon of honey every morning.
The reasons vary at times like sometimes, it is because I want to be
slimmer and sometimes to keep sore throat at bay! But one reason is constant,
Staying fit!
My everyday breakfast is cornflakes with a fruit and the sweetener
in my bowl of cornflakes is honey NOT sugar! I don’t try to get slim or anything
of that sort, but I like it that way. My night time green tea has a few drops
of lemon and honey as the sweetener.
I chose to stay healthy! Sugar takes a lot of energy to burn,
whereas honey doesn’t and it also is a much healthier option than sugar or
artificial sweeteners. Apart from this switching you should do some really easy
exercises which are not particularly exercises, basically those are also
switching!
Switch taking the elevator with climbing up the stairs.
Switch a house maid’s duty of dusting and do the household chores. These little
exercises along with the honey diet can make you fit in no time. And if you
have already been doing these thing, like me :P, kudos to you!
I have seen many people crash dieting to suddenly lose
weight, but that is extremely harmful for one’s body and I have seen that
firsthand! The few simple steps of exercising and a healthy balanced diet can
help you achieve a fit body, though it would take a little more time that crash
dieting, but it would result into long term fitness, without harming the body!
Do let me know in the comments how you incorporate honey in
your diet and stay fit!
