Why you should stand during your next phone call
Giving the body small pauses, whether through fasting, standing more often, or simply resetting attention, creates a surprising amount of clarity. This week brings together awareness of the importance of gentle breaks that restore energy and focus.
1. Weekly Health Insight – Why short fasting windows can sharpen focus
Allowing the body short breaks from constant eating gives the digestive system time to rest and repair. This pause encourages more stable blood sugar levels and supports sharper mental clarity.
Ayurveda views mindful spacing of meals as a way to preserve energy for both body and mind.
2. The Quick Win – Stand during your next phone call
The next time you answer a call, rise to your feet instead of staying seated. Standing improves circulation, encourages better posture, and provides a natural burst of energy. This simple shift can make conversations more engaging and alert.

3. The Science Behind It – How vitamin C supports collagen building
Vitamin C is essential for producing collagen, the protein that gives skin, bones, and connective tissues their strength. Adequate intake helps wounds heal faster, maintains skin elasticity, and supports joint health.
Both Ayurveda and modern science highlight the importance of fresh fruits and vegetables rich in this nutrient.
4. Wellness Wonder – Gotu kola for skin repair support
Gotu kola, an herb celebrated in Ayurveda, is known to nourish the skin and promote healing. It supports circulation, calms inflammation, and has been used traditionally for scars and rejuvenation.
A cup of gotu kola tea or a topical preparation can gently support skin health over time.
