Using Coffee as a Workplace Management Tool

Agreed, most people at work need their daily fix – tea or coffee, helps them concentrate better, get through grinding schedules and give that instant shot of energy at the most crucial time. However, people are prone to using too much of it, especially coffee that is now becoming a staple at all levels of the workplace. Many people have developed an addiction to it while others seem to misuse it. For instance, Migraine pains is not something you want to deal with using caffeine. This can actually worsen the situation. Then there are people at work with acidity issues or bloating related to drinking too much of the pure or milked variety. Vending machines are often not clean and this is when too much of the same thing every day can open roads to an oncoming infection. I am trying to use coffee in a more constructive way:

Which is the easiest workout when you are not feeling well?

 When you're not feeling well, the last thing you probably want to do is exercise. But sometimes, a workout is exactly what you need to make yourself feel better.

In this article, we'll take a look at different types of workouts that can be done when you're feeling under the weather. We'll determine which of these workouts is the easiest to do, and provide tips on how to make it even easier. Finally, we'll summarize the benefits of doing this type of workout when you're not feeling well.

Section 1: Defining what "not feeling well" means in the context of working out

"Not feeling well" can mean different things to different people. In general, though, it can be said that "not feeling well" means feeling physically or mentally unable to do a workout. This can be due to a number of factors, such as being sick, being injured, or simply not having the energy or motivation to work out.

It is important to listen to your body and not try to push yourself too hard when you are not feeling well. However, there are still some workouts that can be done even when you are not feeling your best. These workouts can help you to get rid of any pent-up energy, clear your mind, and improve your mood.

Section 2: Examining the different types of workouts that can be done when feeling under the weather

There are many different types of workouts that can be done when feeling under the weather, and the best type of workout to do is the one that you enjoy the most. The type of workout that you choose should be based on your goals and your fitness level, as well as how severe your symptoms are.

If you are looking for a workout that is low-impact and will not make your symptoms worse, then walking or gentle stretching might be a good option for you. If you have more energy and want to get a sweat on, then moderate cardio like jogging or swimming could be a better option. And if you are feeling up for a challenge, then doing a high-intensity workout might be what you need.

It is also important to think about the duration of your workout. If you only have a short amount of time, then doing a quick HIIT workout or going for a short run might be the best option. But if you have more time to spare, then doing a longer workout like going for a long walk or taking an exercise class could be a better option.

Whichever type of workout you choose, make sure to listen to your body and stop if you start to feel worse. It is also important to stay hydrated and drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after your workout.

None

Section 4: Providing tips on how to make the chosen workout easier

One of the best ways to make a chosen workout easier is to start with a smaller version of the workout. For example, if you are planning on going for a run, start by walking for a few minutes to warm up your muscles and get your heart rate up. Then, gradually increase your speed until you are running at your desired pace.

Another way to make a workout easier is to take more time to rest in between sets. This will help to prevent you from getting too tired and will allow your body to recover somewhat between sets.

You can also use lighter weights when doing strength-training exercises. This will help to prevent you from overworking your muscles and will allow you to complete the exercises with good form.

Finally, you can do fewer reps of each exercise. Doing fewer reps will help you to maintain good form and prevent you from getting too tired.

Section 5: Summarizing the benefits of doing this type of workout when not feeling well

There is evidence to suggest that working out when you are not feeling well can actually be beneficial. When you are sick, your body is already working hard to fight off the infection. Adding a workout to the mix might seem like it would be too much for your body to handle, but it can actually help you to feel better.

Here are some of the benefits of working out when you are not feeling well:

1. It can help improve your mood: When you are not feeling well, it is common to feel down and even depressed. Exercise has been shown to be an effective treatment for mild to moderate depression. Even a small amount of exercise can help to improve your mood and make you feel better.

2. It can help relieve stress: Stress can make symptoms worse and can even lead to new health problems. Exercise can help to reduce stress and tension, and it can also help you to sleep better.

3. It can help boost your immune system: Exercise has been shown to improve the function of the immune system. One study found that people who exercised regularly were less likely to get sick than those who didn’t exercise at all.

4. It can give you more energy: When you are not feeling well, it is common to feel tired and run down. However, exercise can actually give you more energy by improving your overall fitness level.

5. It can help you sleep better: Poor sleep is one of the main symptoms of illness. Exercise can help to improve sleep quality by reducing stress and anxiety levels

My Precious…Utterly Moha-licious DIY Chocolates

The basics first – if you still haven’t figured out that Moha is my wife’s name, you are definitely an idiot. Now, cutting it straight to the topic: Moha prepared a batch of dark chocolates and milk chocolates yesterday. This was her third attempt and by now, am pretty sure she has rounded-up all the permutations and combinations that go in DIY chocolates. The goods will be distributed across three households and my workplace, each averaging a batch of around 25 units each. Sharing a few things with you apart from the image:

DIY Lifestyle Tuning: Finding Ways to Salad(ify) My Day

Finding Ways to Eat Salad Every Day &
Actually Like It - Tricks, Tips | My Health

The last days of November 2017 is when I contracted Jaundice and since then, salads have become a major part of the day’s food supplies. I was recommended gorging on radish in order to boost my recovery. Actually the real advice was to consume radish juice, mixing it with aloe vera or sugarcane juice in order to make it sweeter, more edible. This was necessary since radish extract is very bitter and creates a nauseating feeling – not a good thing when you are trying to push food down your throat to boost the daily calories and nutrition. After spending weeks at home, ramping my radish consumption, I was back at my loyal work desk. Here, I had to maintain my intake of salad and as a result I created a few nifty ways of boosting the overall salad consumption.

Changing First Name or Surname Post Marriage: are we overthinking it?

I am not going to dig deep into the subject that is very obvious – women are expected to change their surname after tying the knot. Lately, women have been using their surnames, sandwiched between their first name and the groom’s family name. Recently, I came across another marital norm where the bride’s first name too is changed. Shocking for some, this is rather common in parts of western India and provinces of Sindh, Pakistan. For some women this can be demeaning, almost a threat to their identity. For others, it is just about following a culture that is deep-seated into a community.

Bit of Health and Aesthetic Beauty in Cranberry Tea

Green Tea by a brand called, TE-A-ME. The flavor was intriguing, named Cranberry, and it instantly reminded me of Cranberry flavored Bacardi Breezer

Quick Observations:

• This green tea is actually red, the shade almost identical to the cranberry and alcohol confectionary that is bottled in the Bacardi stuff. Visually, more appealing than any other herbal or green tea concoction available these days
• Tastes nice, without being overwhelming. Unlike some other green teas, it does not have that typical herbal or floral essence which I sometimes find obtrusive. The reddish hue is leaked immediately and its darker every time to dip the dipper
• The flavor is very balanced, does not coat your tongue in a way that anything you might eat along loses its actual taste

Portion of My Dreams Captured in Images Borrowed Online

I am sharing some images that connect with some of the purest thoughts I have had for a long time. There is something very unadulterated about these images. For me, it is also about a distant dream that I believe most men my age often have – a big wooden house, surrounded by plush greens, days spent under the sun, working hard, returning to a warm house and a nurturing wife with your son playing in the backyard with woolly, massively-built dogs. Yes, there are some well-documented truth about dreaming patterns but this is just one man's story so far and the patterns here are not that well-connected. Well not of all of is the usual visuals all men have – many ingredients of this list are exclusive to me. These images capture a small bit of this thought that is close to my heart. In some way, this is also about things I yearned to have been a part of my childhood. Try to zoom in on the expressions of the canines, sometimes extremely silent and stoic in these stills but there is something about their faces that says a lot…

Just Some Fleeting Thoughts about ‘Could Have Been Better’

I have been constantly cutting out the psychological flab that tends to weigh heavily in my mind. Just like unwanted adipose deposits, these feelings of regret and not getting the chance of redemption can kill your spirit, downright bury it so deep that you find the daily routine too hard. The progress has been good. I have let go, forgotten, forgiven, and embraced most things in my life.

However, every now and then, some momentary thoughts do surface when I hear about someone getting hitched. Yes, marriage-related discussions, no matter how short or long don't make me nostalgic. Instead, a feeling dwells that things could have been done a lot better. In the months following my tying-the-knot moment, I realized that my limited social interactions had taken another bite without my realization…a bite from my pie of happiness.

Have You Used Self-created Pinch Points to Handle Anxiety?

This discussion will not make sense to everyone, simply because only someone from GERD, like me, can understand how debilitating Anxiety can become...it can literally derail your life and single-handedly decide your overall health status. Over the years of dealing with Anxiety, I have come across many Anxiety-management tools, some free resources and others, obesely priced for no apparent reason. While meditation does work it is not meant for me. Why? My mind tends to wander and ruminate a bit too much. I came across one lifestyle article nearly 3 years back and put the tip to practice - using a pinch point every time you felt that a sudden bout of Anxiety was coming. Yes, you can feel it like a wave of coldness, a wiry thing that feels against your skin, traveling from your upper shoulder area to your head. The trick is simple. Grab hold of something that can pinch you for good. Something like a key does the trick for me.

That Thing You Do, 'You' Being Macaroni

My wife gives a new twist to nearly every type of food out there - yes, she can cook most things people find at snack stalls and famous eateries. However, it is her Macaroni that is perhaps the best example of personalizing the taste, giving some Indian tadka to it, blending it with her expertise and creating something that is outright exotic!

What makes it special? For starters, the sheer volume of thinly chopped veggies. I believe it is the lack of semi-fried vegetables that makes many food items fare averagely. My wife's version of Macaroni is overwhelmed with veggies, chopped to perfection, thin slices that crunch and texture-up the dish perfectly.
