Yoga trainer Saurabh Bothra recommends 5 healthy habits for busy lives - plus 1 pro tip
Too busy to pursue a fitness routine or sticking to diet for your wellness? Yoga trainer Saurabh Bothra says even following a few simple healthy habits every day can be life-changing, rather than making difficult and drastic lifestyle changes. Saurabh Bothra says habit-building can contribute towards healthy living.(Saurabh Bothra) Bothra, who offers habit-building programs and live guided sessions through his platform HaBuild, shared his top 5 tips for healthy living, in a LiveMint interview. Check out his tips: 1. Drink water: According to the yoga coach, staying hydrated with plain glasses of water can be very beneficial for health. Apart from boosting digestion and enhancing skin health, it also offers one more benefit. Bothra says, "Drinking a lot of water will make you go to the washroom more than once, and encourage movement." 2. Move: If you are a busy working professional who spends more time sitting than standing, make sure you get up and move around at least after every hour. "In our office, we have a trend of doing an 3-minute activity after every hour. We do squats, deep breathing or anything that makes us move around," says Bothra, suggesting how to increase movement. 3. Deep breathing: The Nagpur-based trainer highly recommends a session of deep breathing for busy professionals. He says even 5 minutes of conscious breathing practice can feel therapeutic for people who are often caught between work and home-related pressures. "It's a great stress-buster," he says. Bothra recommends box breathing (inhale, hold, exhale, and hold, each for a count of four) and coherent breathing (inhale and exhale for the same duration of around 5 seconds) 4. Sleep on time: It's what our parents told us time and again as kids. Now as adults, it's time to pay attention to your sleep hygiene. "Everyone to sleep before 11:00 pm at least. However busy you may be, after 11:00 p.m., most people are often just doing time-pass. Good sleep quantity and quality are very important healthy habits," he adds. 5. Workout: If your schedule does not allow you to workout every day, try it at least thrice a week for 45 minutes each, suggests Bothra, who helps people adopt yoga through his online platform. Apart from these tips, he has a pro tip to share: "Don't try to do five things together! It doesn't work like that. Do a small thing for seven days or 14 days and then start adding one more thing, and then another. Don't try to do everything at once, otherwise we usually fail and go in that all-or-nothing trap. Either we do everything or we just stop doing, and then wait for 1st of January to come again," he says.

Asked about his strategy to deal with stress, Bothra responds, 'There are days that really get to me. My best practice to deal with stress is to go to sleep. So the days I'm busier, I go to sleep early so that I can make sure that my next day becomes better.'

Consider setting up permanent consumer courts: SC to Centre
Nagpur: The Supreme Court recently directed the central govt to create a permanent adjudicatory framework comprising full-time staff and presiding officers for consumer disputes in India. The Centre was directed to submit an affidavit in three months on the feasibility of setting up a permanent consumer tribunal or court. It emphasised that consumer forums cannot be run on temporary tenure-based appointments. "We would only implore upon it to appreciate the pressing need for a permanent structure," the bench noted. The court, invoking powers under Article 142 of the Constitution, passed sweeping directions in a batch of appeals, while ruling on the legality and structure of consumer forums under the 2020 Rules. The SC directed that the new rules, to be notified within four months, must strictly follow earlier judgments in Rojer Mathew and Madras Bar Association cases and include a fixed five-year tenure. It also ruled that the selection committee must have a judiciary-majority composition. No written exam or viva voce will be needed for appointing or reappointing presidents and judicial members of state and district commissions, while such a process will be required only for non-judicial posts, in consultation with respective state service commissions. The SC upheld that only serving or retired district judges would be eligible for the post of district commission presidents. Once the new rules are in place, all states must complete recruitment under them within four months. Striking a Constitutional note, the bench stated, "Consumerism constitutes the very spirit of the Constitution," linking it with Articles 38, 39, and 47. It called consumer rights inalienable and remarked that consumer litigation is a form of public interest litigation, strengthening participatory democracy — a basic feature of the Constitution. The judgment also addressed three HC rulings from Bombay and Telangana concerning appointment procedures. It upheld the Bombay HC's decision to strike down parts of the 2020 Rules but modified certain aspects relating to reappointments and tenure clarifications. It also ruled that all serving appointees, whether selected before or after the Supreme Court's first ruling in the case in March 2023, may continue until the completion of fresh recruitment under the new rules. Tushar Mandlekar, assisted by Tejas Fadnavis, Astha Sharma and Anju Thomas, represented the original petitioner Mahendra Limaye, a Nagpur-based lawyer, while assistant solicitor general Aishwarya Bhati appeared for the central govt. Limaye had approached Nagpur bench of Bombay HC challenging an advertisement issued in May this year for recruitment of members or president in district and state consumer commissions in Maharashtra. The HC order stated, "Rule 6(1) of the Rules of 2020 is struck down on the ground that the same results in diluting the involvement of the judiciary in the process of appointment of the president and members of the state commission and the district commission. The said Rule is against the spirit of the decision of the Constitution Bench". The SC bench made it clear that existing appointees allowed to continue under this judgment will serve a four-year tenure, not the new five-year term. "We feel that the time has come to effect a change in mindset revamping the tenure of office in consumer fora," the judges observed.
