With festive treats around, practice mindful eating—enjoy sweets in moderation and balance them with fruits and fiber-rich foods. Stay hydrated; drinking enough water helps manage energy levels and reduces unhealthy snacking. If you’re traveling, pack a few healthy options like nuts or protein bars to avoid skipping meals. Try to fit in at least 20–30 minutes of physical activity daily, even if it’s just a brisk walk. Remember, small, consistent choices keep you energized and healthy through the busy season.

Start a SIP in a mutual fund with as little as ₹500–₹1,000 per month. It allows you to invest regularly, benefit from rupee cost averaging, and reduce market timing risks. Over time, compounding grows small monthly contributions into a substantial corpus. Choose a mix of equity and debt funds depending on your risk tolerance. SIPs are ideal for long-term goals like buying a house, child education, or retirement planning.
