Let's have a walk to market
- Are you crazy!! we will take the Car
Why don't we use stairs - Are you nuts!! 5 floors by Stairs
मेरे से और पैदल नहीं चला जाएगा, please call a Taxi
Above sounds pretty familiar responses. But what surprises more is that, when
these responses come from otherwise perfectly healthy-looking people.
Time to realize that Fitness
is not just limited to looking good or healthy outer appearance or having Macho
physique / chiseled slim bodies. Inner health is as crucial to overall fitness
which includes stamina for long walks, skipping elevators for embracing stairs
for daily activities or may be taking a walk to the nearest market.
So, Overall Fitness =
Right Nutrition + Exercise.
Nutrition and exercise
are the basic maintenance for both a healthy mind and a healthy body. But Exercise
without right nutrition may not provide the desired outcome and may lead to
quick burnout. Healthy or nutrition filled eating is a
crucial element to a healthy lifestyle and an area I think is worth investing
in. After all, to think well, to love well and to sleep well one has to also “EAT WELL”.
Immuniveda Golden Turmeric Milk:
Turmeric is a wonder herb that increases antioxidants in body to fight
cell damage and reduce oxidative stress on the body. This is essential to build
a healthy immune response to fight with any infection or disease. Internet is
full of advice on “N reasons to have Turmeric or drink Turmeric Milk Everyday”.
Since I was a kid, I have been regularly made to drink turmeric milk for building immunity. So, when I saw this good-looking pack of Turmeric Milk on Fittify portal, fingers automatically clicked on “BUY IT NOW”
Preparation is simple, just put a scoop of
powder to the milk and you can get distinct flavour of every component used in
the preparation like Black Pepper, Cardamom, Cinnamon and bites of real
Almond. My kid for last one week is under transition from a Bournvita kid to Turmeric Milk Kid. And this golden yellow color of the drink looks pretty attractive to serve as well.
Price may seem to be slightly on a higher side at first glance; however, the taste and aroma of the Golden Turmeric Milk Mix will surely make you buy another box.

Saffola Hi-Protein Meal Replacement Shake
Till writing of this post, I have tried 3 packets out of the 7 days assorted pack, I received from Saffola. With 3 days/ 3 packets, did not expected big changes, but definitely hunger was satiated with approx. 150 - 200 ml. of the shake prepared with milk and I was able to comfortably reduce quantity of regular meal intake without any drop in Energy levels.
This Hi-Protein Meal Replacement Shake will not only quench the hunger but also provide necessary protein-based nutrition for continuing your regular work/ exploration. Chocolate, Kesar Pista or Pistachio Almond tastes rich and creamy flavour is fulfilling.

Saffola Fittify High Protein Steel Cut Oats
It took me around 12 minutes to prepare a bowl of Oats with Milk. These are not Masala Oats, so I added some Honey, Gulkand and sweet Cornflakes as garnishing to make my type of dish. Will suggest adding Gulkand to taste it awesome. Even the tortoise on my table were not able to resist and moved closer to taste the Oats.
Oats are also available with many other brands,
likewise with good brands like Saffola, I need not worry about the quality
and goodness.
# - Gulkand (गुलकंद) is a sweet preserve of Rose petals.
# - Honey, Sugar or Gur (Jaggery) can be added as per taste and preference.
Saffola Fittify Green Coffee - Lemongrass Lavender
Honestly, have not heard of Green Coffee till I got this gift from Saffola. I was wondering and was confused on what will be the taste of this Green Coffee with mixed Lemongrass Lavender mix. Initially I had assumed that this will be tasting something like bitter Black Coffee with some aroma. However, when I took the first sip of the green coffee, there was a smooth taste along with delightful aroma from calming lavender and soothing lemongrass, totally different from anticipated taste.
Packet says it has 3 times more Antioxidants as the Coffee is not roasted.
Twice have replaced my daily afternoon coffee with this Green Coffee till date and actually felt refreshed during the midday blues. May be the frequency of having Green Coffee will increase in coming days.

Fittify Natural - Unsweetened - Peanut Butter
Being unsweetened, you will get to feel the authentic taste of Peanut butter. My 10-year-old kid, decided to enjoy his morning Paranthas with Peanut Butter alongside regular Curd and Achar.
There are lots of Peanut’s pieces in the butter to make it more
enjoyable even without any bread, Chapati or anything.

To summarize I think this initiative by Saffola for Fitness Food is an excellent concept. Healthy eating simple without compromising on taste and will be a definite attraction to many who do not want to cut down on flavor in quest of health and Saffola Fittify has number of delicious options to select from.
However, food and nutrition alone will never compensate for exercising. Ensure along with nutritional food, ample exercise in order to achieve your goals of Fitness and Healthy Body, which is worthwhile an investment.
Stay Healthy, Stay Young...
