With the current situation and shutdowns, it may be a tad bit difficult to convince yourself. However, right now, it is more important than every that you take necessary steps to take care of your health and well-being even when you're working from.

Nutritionist Nmami Agarwal recently took to Instagram to share a few tips that can help you stick to your routine if you are practicing self-isolation or are working from home.

The three key points to manage weight when staying at home, according to Agarwal, are:

1. Good nutrition

2. Quality sleep

3. Exercise

Good nutrition plays 70 to 80% role in keeping you healthy and managing your weight. Eating a healthy, balanced diet in combination with working out home will keep you in a good shape.

So when you're at home, you can do the following:

1. Indulge in some kind of healthy cooking. Try new recipes and look for healthier alternatives to your daily meals.

2. Get dressed the same way as you go to office. The idea is to not impress anyone but to kick off laziness and be mentally and physically active.

3. Do not skip your meals. No matter how busy you are, have your meals in the same time every day. Not skipping meals is as important as brushing your teeth in morning, says Agarwal.

4. Do exercise at home. It is not necessary to have machines and weights for a good workout. Most of the things that you can do at the gym, you can do at home as well. Jumping jacks, jumping rope, planks, resistant band exercises, etc can all be done at home. Speak to your trainer on how you can modify your exercise regime for home.

5. Getting the right amount of sleep every day, and getting good quality sleep is very important. When you're working from home, your living space is also your work space. So you must know when to shut down, Agarwal recommends.

6. This scenario should be looked at as an opportunity to spend more time with your loved ones. Reconnect and rebuild those bonds, which may have faded away with time because of your busy schedule.
