Empowering Your Health: The Power of Consistently Improving by 1%

-

We all have heard the saying "health is wealth" and it couldn't be more accurate. Our health is the foundation of our lives, it allows us to enjoy the little things, to be present with our loved ones, and to chase our dreams. But often times, we get caught up in our daily lives, and we forget to prioritize our health. We make excuses and put it on the back burner, until it's too late. But what if I told you, that you don't have to make drastic changes to see a significant improvement in your health? What if I told you, that by simply improving by 1% every day, you could change your life forever?

The 1% better health concept is simple yet powerful. It's about making small, sustainable changes to your daily routine that over time, will add up to significant improvements in your overall health. It's not about perfection, it's about progress. By consistently improving by 1% every day, you're setting yourself up for long-term success.

Here are a few examples of small changes you can make that will add up to big improvements over time:

  • Drink one extra glass of water a day
  • Take the stairs instead of the elevator
  • Add one serving of vegetables to your dinner
  • Take a 10-minute walk during your lunch break
  • Take a 10-minute walk in sunlight
  • Read one chapter of a self-improvement book before bed
  • Listen to a podcast everyday while walking/running or in gym or just to unwind yourself
  • Start doing a 15 minute workout at home
and the list goes on...

There are hundreds of such small ideas that every one of us can come up with.

These small changes may seem insignificant, but if you stick to them, you'll see a big difference in your health over time. I have seen so many folks in our local community who made huge progress consistently and fixed their health little by little by incorporating many such ideas in their life. If one person can do it, anyone can do it. You just need to decide and start seeing things differently.

Remember, health is not a destination, it's a journey. It's about making small, consistent changes that will add up to a lifetime of better health. So, don't wait, start your journey today by taking that first step towards a 1% better you.

My Living Room - A perspective!!

Author - Ravi Kulkarni Let me tell you a story. In my little town, I was known for my charming but quirky home. One day, a small leak developed in the ceiling of my living room. At first, the leak was just a drip - a tiny nuisance. I placed a teacup under it, amused by the occasional plink of water. But as time passed, that drip became a constant stream. I turned my living room into a maze of bowls, cups, and pots to catch the water. It was a sight to see, and my friends found it amusing. The real trouble began when the water started damaging my furniture. My favorite chair, a relic passed down from my grandmother, was the first casualty. Its fabric bloomed with damp spots, and the legs weakened. But I was too caught up in my solution to see the problem. Instead of fixing the roof, I threw a party to unveil a new, expensive armchair I bought, thinking it could simply replace the old one. Unfortunately for me the new armchair didn’t last long either. In addition, several other issue

Do you want to lose 20 pounds?  Do you want to lower your bad cholesterol?  Do you want to maintain a consistent workout routine?  Do you want to enjoy better sleep and wake up feeling refreshed?  Do you want to adopt healthier eating habits? At first glance, these may seem like personal desires, but what if they're actually fundamental needs for our health? Lets consider few simple scenarios to clear this a little bit. Often, we sacrifice sleep and stress over work to ensure our loved ones' happiness. We grew up believing the idea that Food, Clothes and Roof over our heads are the basic needs. What if there was more? Think about this:  If you had a pounding headache, could you give your kids quality time?  If you had a stomach ache, could you be affectionate with your spouse? If you have a bad back ache, what quality of work can you produce? Now let's pause for a moment and think deeply about another scenario:  You're battling a terminal illness. Would you be concerned

The dose makes the poison!!

Author - Ravi Kulkarni   This principle is the cornerstone of modern toxicology practice. The idea is that even harmful substances, such as poisons, are safe to consume in very small doses. For example, many heavy metal poisons such as Arsenic or Lead are ever present in our environment. Therefore, they are also present in many foods we consume in minute quantities. Toxicology experts have studied their effects on the body and that knowledge has been incorporated into the regulatory guidelines such as those provided by the FDA for foods that are marketed in interstate commerce.    But this principle is not only about poisons. Even harmless substances such as water can become poisonous if consumed in large quantities. Our diets have gone so far out of whack with our nature that most people end up suffering the consequences of overdosing on foods that become poisons.    Since I have been wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for a while, I have noticed how the dose does make the poi
