I emphasise that achieving a healthy weight and overall well-being requires a broader approach than solely focusing on exercise. While exercise is important, it's one of five key pillars that contribute to holistic health. These pillars include prioritising nutrient-rich foods, managing stress through breathing techniques, obtaining quality sleep, and fostering strong social connections.
Rather than viewing body fat negatively, I highlight its evolutionary purpose, particularly for people of South Asian descent whose genetics have adapted to store fat for survival. This perspective encourages a more accepting view of body fat fluctuations as a natural process.
