The world seems to be spinning faster every day, with people often unable to find time for maintaining a healthy body and mind.
Health requires commitment as you need to identify a healthy routine, eat a balanced diet and get the right amount of sleep.
This requires you to plan your day effectively and also stay motivated throughout the process; being fit is not achieved in a day.
