Dr. Aravind Padmaraju outlines eight pillars of health for busy professionals: mindset, nutrition, efficient workouts, emotional well-being, gut health, sleep (6-8 hours nightly), community, and habit formation. He argues that weight loss alone misses the interconnected physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions that prevent burnout and boost productivity.

Hey, welcome to the HAFIT channel, and today we're gonna deep dive into how you can, as a busy professional, take care of your holistic health as a 360-degree transformation, rather than just focusing on weight loss and just focusing on the short-term mentality. So in today's fast-paced, demanding world, busy professionals often prioritize their career over their health. However, neglecting one's overall well-being can lead to burnout, decreased productivity, and overall dissatisfaction of life, and going into some of the lifestyle disorders. That's why the holistic approach to health is very crucial for busy professionals. So what is exactly the holistic health is all about is it focuses whole in a person. So taking care of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being rather than just focusing on this, that diet and exercise alone. Take this as a holistic approach, looking after every single aspect of your life. So here are the some of the key components which I want to share it to you in this today's video, uh, how you can get this 360-degree transformation. The first aspect in this list is taking care of your mindset. So as I always say in the previous videos as well, is is your mindset is everything. What is the thoughts, what you're going through in your mind, which creates some of the beliefs, and those beliefs create some of the feelings, and those are the feelings will take you to put the actions. 90% of the times our mind is against what we want to achieve in our life. So that's why reprogramming your subconscious mind is most essential before even you focus on taking your health and overall wellness to the the next level. So if you really want to know how you can reprogram your subconscious mind, I'm dropping the link below, and I want you to attend my coming webinar where I will be deep diving into why your mindset is currently an enemy for your life and how you can make your mindset work towards you to achieve any kind of a goal. It is the same thing even with your fitness goal. First, your fitness starts with your mind, then it comes to your body and puts you into actions. Second important aspect is your physical health. There are two aspects comes under physical health. Is first is a nutrition. So nutrition is very important. Most of the times people goes into the crazy yo-yo diets and some kind of a random diet patterns which has very popular in the market. But one thing you need to remember is what works for you is the best diet for you, and what you can sustain is a diet what you need. What you need in this case is create some kind of awareness about what is a balanced diet and focus on building that balanced diet as a part of your day-to-day routine. So what is a balanced diet? Balanced diet is all about having a good, a good amount of whole foods and then fruits, vegetables, having a protein and healthy fats, all of them as part of every single meal what you take. That is what is most important. And most of the times, limit your high sugary food consumption and processed foods, and limit as much as the high sugary foods as well as part of your diet. And focus on having more hydration. Make sure that you drink enough water because most of the times you don't focus on hydration, you only focus on diet and exercise. You don't— you completely forget the importance of hydration. So make sure that you also drink enough water as part of your day-to-day routine. The second important aspect in the physical health is your exercise. So focus on building that exercise or activity as part of your routine. It is not about what you're going to do in the 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or you don't have a time, you always skip because of your busy schedule. What is most important is what you can do even a shorter period of time. That's why I have recorded a lot of smart workouts, which is just a 10 to 15 minutes of workouts which you can do in your own comfort and in in your own home or anywhere you can do these workouts. This— those are the bodyweight exercises which can be done in a high-intensity mode, and I want you to go through them and create some kind of a routine where you can do 2 to 3 days of a strength training and make sure that you are active throughout the day. It could be a favorite sport you want to play, or it could be you love running, or you run some kind of an activity which you love the most. Please inculcate that part of your lifestyle. That is what is most important. And apart from that, be active. So there are a lot of ways you can be active. Walking is one of the best tool you can use to increase your activity. So I also given a lot of tips around smart movement options, like there are more than 7 to 8 tips I have given. So that video is also in the below link. I want you to go through it and see what are the multiple ways you can increase your overall k steps to 7k to 10k steps. It's all about how you being active throughout the day is most important. Okay, so that is the second aspect which I want to take care of you is a physical health. The third important aspect is an emotional well-being. Most of the challenges what we go through because of the stress, because of the emotional traumas we have, because of the, the hurts we had in our life, so we carry some kind of energy into our own life. So that's why it's very important for you to balance out your stress. So always have tools. There are a lot of tools. I also talk about in my coming videos how you can manage stress efficiently. So very one simple technique is focus on your breath, follow the mindfulness, and do some kind of exercise regularly, and also have a sense of calmness and follow some of the breathing techniques. There are so many, a number of tools are there how you can get rid of stress. Stress, and I will be talking some of them in the following videos. I want you to go through them as well. And the second important thing is always have a work-life balance. Always— it's not about you doing everything at one go. Always balance it out. Make sure that you manage your time so efficiently and you do it, the work, within your limits. And most of the times, if you have any kind of past traumas and past anxiety attacks or any kind of stress or depression, these kind of emotional traumas which you're going through. Always take expert advice and heal those traumas, because some or other way, until and unless you don't heal from those past traumas, you will not be able to produce or, you know, be with that ease of flow in your overall well-being. So this is one of the most important thing. Focus on self-care, focus on some of the activities which is more closer to your heart, and follow those activities to to have more emotional well-being. And what is the most important thing why you need to take care of stress and anxiety, all of them, is whenever you go through with these conditions, your body go through the hormonal changes. So those hormonal changes will make very difficult for you to follow a diet and exercise. That's why it is very, very important to manage your stress. And stress is one of the biggest— 99% of your diseases all starts from stress. So I want you to focus on taking care of your emotional well-being as well. The third important thing is taking care of your gut. Gut plays a major role, and most of the times we are— we don't take care of our gut. The bloating, constipation, and any kind of these challenges you see, gastric issues— make sure that you focus on taking care of your gut. And one of the biggest way you can give best thing to a gut is two things. Make sure that you manage your stress efficiently and also make sure that you have a proper good and bad bacteria balance in your gut. The fourth aspect which I want you to focus on is sleep quality. Sleep is everything, right? Most of the times, 90% of the people, because of in the current era, we overdo the stuff. Because of that, we sacrifice our sleep. Because in the, in the case of doing so much of work and doing so much of binge watching sleep plays a major role. And sleep is one of the most essential for you to perform better and manage a proper energy and also able to recover from every single day. The— on a daytime, whatever you're going through, and your fat burning and your muscle recovery and your overall cell reproduction, every single thing happens in sleep. It's not about how long you slept, it is all about how quality sleep you got. And what is one of the shortest um, best way to measure is your REM sleep should be at least 1.2 to 1.5 hours, and your deep sleep should be 1.2 to 1.5 hours. So if you can get that in even a 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, whichever way you get it, you can follow it. And if you cannot count them, so at least have 6 to 8 hours of sleep to have optimal performance into every single day life. And the other aspect is always having a community, right? Community plays a major role And it's all about your environment dictates what kind of actions you're going to take. So your environment takes over your willpower, your motivation, all of them will be taken over by the environment. So always associate with the people who are right-minded and right goal-oriented people and who are focusing on building this health. And have— it could be any community, be part of them, because every single person has a single goal. So there is a famous saying, right? Your future decides on who are the people you are. 5 people who are associated with— their habits becomes your habits, their results become your results. That's why it is very important to have aspiring community who has— who was focusing on building the holistic health. And if you want to be part of our community, I'm dropping the link below and attend that webinar and see if you are a right fit for our community. And if you want to build in a holistic way, you you can be part of that community. I'm dropping the link in the below this video. And the last but not the, the least is overall focus on building this as sustainable habits. So habits can make you and break you. Any of these points, whatever I have discussed, if you're not building them as rituals— see, the holistic health is not a short-term, a 1-year thing, or a 3-month thing, or a 6-month thing. It's a lifelong journey. So what you need is building them as habits and building them into going into your own routine. Everyone's life is different. What is most important is see what time fits for you, what schedule fits for you. Depends on your day, depends on your current schedule, depends on your eating habits, depends on your routine. You build habits, rituals every single day where you can follow them. And because you're building those habits every single day and following them consistently will get you this holistic Holistic health at the end, holistic health is a lifelong journey, and I want you to focus on building them as a habits. So that is what is most important, okay? So that is what I wanted you to focus.
