Get enough sleep

Drink water

Dehydration is very dangerous for the body: with a lack of water, the intestines begin to cope poorly with their functions, the metabolism slows down, toxins are delayed in the body, swelling begins, the person quickly gains weight and feels bad.

Start the day with a glass of clean drinking water. During the day, it is advisable to drink 1.5-2 liters of water.

Eat regularly

Eating just a couple of times a day and in large portions is wrong. You should eat more often in small portions - this will help to maintain both harmony and health.

There is an opinion that the human body gets used to receive nutrients and calories at a certain time and forms its own sustainable mechanisms for its assimilation. Thus, he no longer needs to accumulate fat in order to secure strategic reserves.

Instead of all this, you need to eat more vegetables, fruits and whole grains.

Breathe deeply

Calm, deep breathing normalizes heart rate and pressure, and also allows the heart and brain to receive more oxygen.

Experts advise to perform breathing exercises after waking up and before going to bed - to perform slow and deep breaths and exhalations for several minutes.
