Control your weight
It is very important to know your BMI level. The doctor will tell you how much weight you should have according to your age, height and some other physical symptoms. Try to keep that weight off. If you feel that you are gaining too much, you should take measures to lose weight.
Do not eat tap salt
Do not allow more than 5 grams of salt to enter the body under any circumstances. It is not only necessary to see how much salt you are giving in cooking, if you buy any prepared food from the market, it is also necessary to see how much salt is in it. So read the note on the back of the packet carefully before buying anything. Avoiding processed food is good for health. Any market-bought fast food contains a lot of salt, so watch out for that too.
Be carefree
Always try to be carefree. It is very important to keep your mind calm. Do regular breathing exercises and meditation. The news that increases anxiety should be avoided. Realize your expectations.
