Mental and physical well-being go hand in hand, and this important message was highlighted during the recent NBT Happy Streets event organized by Navbharat Times at Green Avenue Road, Greater Noida West.
The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from residents of all age groups, who came together to celebrate fitness, healthy living, and community engagement. Adding immense value to the program was the presence of Dr. Paramjeet Singh, Senior Consultant Neuropsychiatrist and Director of Delhi Mind Clinic, who attended the event as the Chief Guest.
Promoting the Connection Between Mental and Physical Health
During his address, Dr. Paramjeet Singh emphasized that mental health and physical health are deeply interconnected. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce the risk of both psychological and physical illnesses.
He highlighted the importance of:
- Regular physical activity
- Adequate sleep
- Stress management
- Healthy daily routines
- Mindfulness and yoga practices
According to Dr. Singh, adopting positive lifestyle habits can help individuals maintain emotional balance, improve resilience, and enhance overall quality of life.
The Importance of Sleep for Mental Well-being
One of the key messages shared by Dr. Singh was the role of sleep in maintaining mental health.
He explained that adults should aim for approximately 7–8 hours of quality sleep every night. Lack of sleep can increase stress levels, affect mood regulation, impair concentration, and contribute to anxiety and depression.
Good sleep hygiene remains one of the simplest yet most effective strategies for protecting mental wellness.
Yoga and Exercise: Natural Tools for Mental Health
The Happy Streets program began with a yoga session that encouraged participants to start their day with positivity and movement.
Dr. Singh encouraged attendees to dedicate at least 30 minutes daily to physical exercise, yoga, walking, cycling, or other fitness activities. Regular exercise not only strengthens the body but also supports:
- Better mood
- Reduced stress
- Improved cognitive function
- Enhanced emotional stability
- Greater self-confidence
Managing Stress in the Digital Age
Addressing modern lifestyle challenges, Dr. Singh spoke about the increasing impact of excessive screen time and digital dependence.
He advised participants to:
- Limit unnecessary mobile and social media usage
- Take regular breaks from screens
- Spend quality time with family and friends
- Engage in outdoor and recreational activities
- Develop meaningful social connections
Such habits help reduce stress and support long-term mental wellness.

The NBT Happy Streets initiative brought together residents, families, children, and fitness enthusiasts in a vibrant atmosphere filled with activities including yoga, cycling, fitness exercises, and recreational programs.
