2) Be Hydrated: Drink as much water as you can drink. It will help to hydrate and detoxify your body. One cannot forget our body is made up of 70% of water only, thus the need is also big.

7) Importance of fiber: There is no match for a healthy diet with fibers in it. Always add fibers to the main meals.
8) Home cooked Food: Try to cook food at home to see the safety precautions and the diet.
9) Portion Size Matters: Try to control the portion size for the betterment of the body’s needs.
