competition in their personal and professional lives. Many of us try to follow
a regular exercise regime, but sometimes diet is not taken care of or vice

working for long hours. Thus it leads to lack of physical activity and thus we
tend to put on weight. Also we travel by our own vehicles to our places of
work. And most of the home makers also have the latest gadgets at home or they
employ maids to do the routine house work. I have tried to plan my diet, eating
at the right time. I eat non-vegetarian only once in a week, try to eat green
vegetables, leafy vegetables, pulses, chappatis and very less rice.I try to
avoid deeply fried foodstuffs and also too many snacks. Instead, I try to drink
