International Women's Day: Celebrating working mothers


Motherhood is arguably the most challenging, stressful, fulfilling, glorious and important job in the world! Gone are the days when moms were home and kitchen bound. Women, now-a-days, not only handle home and a career but manage a complete overall personal growth. 

Due to this struggle of juggling home and career, many women, of late, have become a victim of obesity and poor fitness regime. Women face a lot of difficulties associated with their health due to lack of exercise and proper physical workouts.

Along with looking after the well-being of everyone else in the family, here are some useful tips which working mothers can use to stay healthy and fit:



* Store your house with healthy snacks and eat a full and healthy breakfast.

* Stay active throughout the day. Start the day with exercise and create an effective exercise pattern and include walking on treadmill, crunches etc. Also, chart the slow but effective progress. Do not overdo anything. 

* Reduce refined carbohydrate intake.

* Drink lots of water and stay hydrated. Dehydration leads to fatigue and weakness.

* Be happy. Laughing or just being happy releases hormones that help reduce stress hormones, cortisol.

* Every once in a while, take a break and pamper yourself in a spa or a beauty salon.

* A good night sleep is essential for the hectic day. A minimum of 6-8 hours is necessary.



Balancing between being a family person and a working woman is one of the most rewarding and exhausting jobs in the world. You are doing something or the other and are on duty 24*7, with no off weekends or sick days. It is easy to focus on kids and neglect yourself, but that is not good for either them or you.
