Swimming & badminton, my go-to sports

1 A healthy mind lives in a healthy body. I can’t stress how true this adage is, especially for working professionals today who spend their days devoted to their careers and hardly get time for themselves. I make it a point to go for hour-long walks every day. I also ensure time for swimming at least once a week.

2 My day starts at 4 a m when I go for walks. When I’m not travelling, I put my day to sleep after spending quality time with my family.

3 Here’s a confession: I’m a big-time foodie. However, with mounting age, thanks to care from my wife, I avoid fried stuff as much possible. I try to satisfy my cravings with servings of healthier substitutes such as fruits. I prefer at least one high-protein meal everyday.

4 Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I never miss it. Besides, I believe in consuming smaller but frequent meals as opposed to eating large amounts at once. Sleep is another important aspect to staying healthy. I never compromise on my sleep unless it can’t be helped. I generally get about six hours of sound sleep and try not to over-exert myself in the day.

5 Swimming and badminton are my go-to sports to de-stress and maintain my fitness.
