5 S Management
Some are comfortable only with a ready-made mantra or formula to take home, rather than a conceptual paradigm. For them, we suggest a daily management of their 5S, namely sleep, sex, snacks, stamina and spirit(s). This helps build soft skills, which should in turn reduce stress. These are elaborated in our book, health @ your finger tips, in a simple, reader-friendly language. Here are some items covered:
- Sleep: sleep debt and its consequences, how to repay it, power naps, effects of alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine, sleep hygiene
- Sex: DINK (double income no kids); DINS (double income no sex); sex debt; sexual intelligence; sexual paradox – sex, sex anywhere but…..; performance anxiety; sex enhancing drugs; fulfilling sex
- Snacks: get your fundas right; know your carbs and fats; do the balancing act; eat heart-healthy foods; keep off diet frauds; know your BMI
- Stamina: aerobics; target heart rates; abs; muscle building; exercising at home; improving habits at workplace; blending it all into your daily routine
- Spirit(s): theory vs practice; myths vs realities; “good for your heart?”; women and alcohol, effective drink management
