The Fashion Identity
Health & Wellness
A HOLISTIC WELLNESS CENTRE
6th Element is a holistic and fitness center that aims towards creating awareness about leading a healthier lifestyle by building a community of health freaks who want to participate and contribute to the society. We focus on inspiring people of the city through our fitness activities such as Zumba, Functional training, Antigravity and much more along with diet and nutrition counseling which is equally essential for overall balance.
INTERVIEW WITH
TA
The Fashion Identity At 6th Element, the goal is to strive towards an optimal state of well-being by improving the lifestyle of our client, by making small gradual changes in their food habits and physical activities. We see an astounding number of reports about increasing obesity rates, diseases and conditions related to being overweight and out-of-shape. We want to keep reiterating the importance of fitness and well-being in not only our lives but help the society as a whole!
How would you define wellness and fitness absolutely essential for human beings? Ans) As our lifestyle changes, so does our level of health quotient. I believe fitness and wellness along with proper nutrition is beneficial to people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. In today’s age it has become highly essential for people to have complete awareness of their bodies and mind to stay away from any health problems in the longer run. A regular fitness activity regime can improve the current and future level of health and our overall lifestyle and state of well being.

The most appreciated program at "6th element" according to you would be.? Ans) We offer people to take up a highintensity workout like functional gym or Zumba and to combine it with more hormone balancing workouts like antigravity fitness or dynamic yoga. Taking up a diet plan, infrared sauna and pre and post workout meals with this would be our best bet for optimal results. But we decide this as per the strength and age of the client. We don't want any injuries and hence we take a call as per the client.
With a program for senior citizens at 6th Element, we encourage them to take genuine steps toward better health, improved mobility, and increased function.

Tell us about the cafe at "6th-element" and how is it trying to bring about a change in the misconceptions in the nutrition department of wellness? When it comes to healthy eating, there are a lot of misconceptions that people need to get a reality check on. At Passion Cafe, we challenge ourselves to know more about nutrition and health every day to keep you informed and up to date. Our concept of clean eating applies right from our base ingredients and we are constantly committed to serving Great food with Great food ethics. Some of them are: 1. No sugar 2. No refined flour 3. No preservatives or colorants 4. Only authentic ingredients loaded with dense nutrition 5. We use natural sweeteners like Dates, Honey, Organic jaggery 6. We offer curated and nutrition rich meals post workout. Something really eccentric about your hub is the disease state management program and the program for Senior Citizens. Ans) As you grow older, an active lifestyle is more important than ever. Regular exercise can help boost energy, maintain your independence, and manage symptoms of illness or pain. Numerous studies have shown that strength training for seniors and other exercises for seniors done regularly not only builds up bone and muscle but counteracts the weakness and frailty that usually comes with aging.

The Fashion Identity ANTIKA PRAKASH RAI shares how to look fit and healthy during this month of parties....
According to Yoga expert Antika Prakash Rai, Yoga helps in achieving various fitness and health goals.She feels,”One should do yoga according his/her need.”.This season of parties in this month of December and early January,Antika insists on doing Yoga for atleast 20 to 30 minutes a day.Over an email chat when we asked her about how long should one do yoga to keep himself/herself fit and look healthy in these party months, she said, “So my view is that every one should spend atleast 20 to 30 min in a day for doing yoga.”You may crave into food that you like in this season.But ensure that you follow Antika’s advice after this season.”All you need is to stop eating deep fried food and stick to natural and healthy food. And try to follow a healthy balance diet.” is the advice from Antika
Tis’ the season A must have make up item during winters....? Ans) A nice moisturised lipstick. How is usually the skin care during winters different from that of summers? Ans) Even the most oiliest skin becomes dry during winters. So using a face moisturizer in day time and before going to bed is highly recommended for all skin types. Cleansing could be done with an oil based cleanser. Al mond Oil Cleanser by Biotique is a really good product. For Skin and Makeup people believe that cosmetics during winters make their skin dry but actually skin is dehydrated, reason being less intake of water and not the cosmetics that make your skin look dry. Drink a lot of water and always use a primer or moisturizer before putting your makeup on.
A precautionary measure for hair during winters? Ans) Usually pe-ople wash hair often in summers but they tend to wash hair once or just twice a week during winters , which is wrong! You get fungus and dandruff in winter too. Oil regularly and wash your hair four days a week or everyday.

Make Up Tricks for this winter season BY RATI JAIN PURI
You should never keep your hair oiled for more then a day. It's a misconception that oil keeps your hair mositurized and healthy. Hair are benefited by oil in 1 complete hour and you can wash it off. Keeping oil in hair for longer time attracts dust and thus leading to hair loss and infections on scalp.
