- Don’t miss the Gym: You should also concentrate on hitting the gym on a regular basis. Don’t use a gym only for meeting your immediate health goals like losing 10 pounds or developing great abs. Rather you should focus on gymming on a regular basis so that you can keep yourself in a good shape forever. You should also try to vary the form of exercises you do in a gym so that you don’t end up being dependent on a single form of exercise. As far as the favorite exercises of Raina are concerned, he is focused on doing cardio exercises and lower back exercises more (because he had a knee operation in the past). He believes that if you consume 3000 calories in a day, you should work off 4000 calories in the gym.
- Consult a Doctor: The middle order batsman, Raina also suggests visiting a doctor on a regular basis. It would help you to keep track of your fitness and lead to early detection of any health issues that may be impacting your body. You should also consult your doctor regularly to keep a log of your fitness level and ensure that your strenuous efforts to be fit are not harming your body or organs in any way.
- Drink Water: Water is a necessity of life. Well, no one can live without it and Raina, the occasional off spin bowler suggests us to drink a lot of water. It is the simplest and most widely available thing that helps us to clean our body from the inside as well as outside. The more water you drink, the better would be your health and pure water would never have any side effects on your body. Raina suggests on drinking at least 4 to 5 litres of water on a daily basis.
- Avoid Oily Food: The vice captain of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) also suggests us to avoid oily food as much as we can. Though he has a special fondness for fresh and home cooked meals, but he tries to avoid oily foods with much better options like baked food items or oil free vegetables. Oily food not only makes you fat but it also hampers your progress with regard to eating nutritional food. Consuming oily food on a regular basis can also lead to problems like high cholesterol and increased risk of heart diseases. So, the more you control yourself from eating oily food (no matter how tempting it looks), the better would be your overall health.
