Which ‘secret mantra’ do doctors who advise patients to stay healthy adopt to keep themselves fit? Often we think that the secret of fitness from doctors would be expensive medicines or some complicated workout routine, but the truth is completely different from this. On the occasion of Doctor’s Day 2026, Dr. Himal Dev JJ, Critical Care Specialist, Apollo Hospitals, Sheshadripuram, reveals the simple daily habits that keep him energetic even amidst the stress of emergencies and long shifts.

Don’t run after perfection, focus on consistency.

On social media, fitness is often considered to mean getting up at 5 in the morning and sweating for hours. But as a critical care specialist, Dr. Himal believes the ideal routine is often impossible. He says that instead of chasing expensive health trends, small but consistent habits are more effective. He clarified that a healthy lifestyle does not happen overnight, but is the result of your small everyday decisions.

Doctor’s ‘fitness formula’ that anyone can adopt

Dr. Himal shares these four simple tips from his busy schedule that can prove helpful to any working person:

• Wake up at a regular time: No matter how late his duty ends, Dr. Himal tries to wake up at the same time every day. This habit keeps the body’s internal clock in order and maintains alertness throughout the day.

• Take advantage of the morning sunshine: Spending some time in the sun immediately after waking up keeps the biological rhythm of the body correct and provides mental freshness.

• Short mindful breaks: To avoid constant stress during work, he has developed the habit of taking ‘quick breaks’. Taking deep breaths for a few minutes reduces stress and improves concentration.

• Clean eating habits: Instead of strict dieting, Dr. Himal’s focus is on ‘home-made food’. They completely avoid highly processed foods, which maintains their immunity.

Why simple changes in lifestyle are necessary

Dr. Himal’s message is clear—you don’t need to change your entire lifestyle to be healthy. If you adopt simple habits like waking up at a regular time, getting sunlight, taking short breaks and eating fresh home-cooked food, it is enough to make a big difference to your health. This Doctor’s Day, this simple advice away from complicated health rules is not only inspiring but also very easy to adopt.
