Your body requires quality sleep to repair the tissues, maintain immunity, clear the mind, regulate your mood and balance the hormones.According to Ayurvedic principles, sleep is one of the three pillars that support life. The ideal time to wake up is before sunrise, around 4 AM to 6 AM, and about bedtime, try not to stay up past 10 PM.Your body’s natural internal clock (<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11584554/">circadian rhythm</a>) should align with the day and night in nature. This keeps your Doshas (body bioenergies) balanced and prevents illnesses.<h2>Tip 7: Mindful Movement</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Tip_7_Mindful_Movement_70b90b6c5b.jpg" alt="Tip 7_ Mindful Movement.jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Tip_7_Mindful_Movement_70b90b6c5b.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Tip_7_Mindful_Movement_70b90b6c5b.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">Holiday weight gain is a common concern in many adults, leaving you feeling guilty with every bite of the delicious holiday treats.

This is called <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17333670/">‘Pathya’</a>, which refers to a wholesome or suitable diet. These foods are light, nourishing and easy to digest.&nbsp;<h2>Tip 10: Say No When Needed</h2><img src="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Tip_10_Say_No_When_Needed_fd5553d71b.jpg" alt="Tip 10_ Say No When Needed.jpg" srcset="https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnail_Tip_10_Say_No_When_Needed_fd5553d71b.jpg 245w,https://nirva-strapi-soure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/small_Tip_10_Say_No_When_Needed_fd5553d71b.jpg 500w," sizes="100vw">The festive season is a time for celebrations, but it is important to prioritise your well-being during this busy time of year.&nbsp;Don’t worry if you’re not able to make it to all those events or gatherings .
