ICMR guidelines: Recommends dietary plan for working women who do not exercise regularly

Due to many responsibilities and work, many women find it challenging to exercise regularly. While regular exercise is widely recognised as a crucial component of a healthy lifestyle, not everyone has the time or ability to engage in physical activity consistently. To deal with such situations, ICMR has provided dietary guidelines for women who do not exercise.

ICMR's guidelines on women's exercise

Control Portions

Portion control is essential to avoid overeating. Keep your food portions limited to prevent consuming excess calories.

Eat Vegetables

Vegetables provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber necessary for good health. Cook vegetables with minimal oil by stir-frying or steaming to retain their nutrients.

Consume Lean Protein

Protein helps strengthen muscles and provides energy. Include lean protein sources such as chicken, fish, eggs, and legumes in your diet.

Choose Healthy Snacking Options

Opt for healthy snacks like fruits, nuts, yogurt, and whole grain biscuits. These provide essential nutrients and help avoid unhealthy snacking.

Stay Hydrated

Regular water intake is crucial. Staying hydrated ensures all body functions run smoothly and keeps your skin healthy.
