Try to make exercise a part of your weekly routine. Make it a regular habit for at least three times a week, even if it’s just easy activities like jogging or light yoga.

Pile on the veggies.

If you want to enjoy a truly balanced meal, a good rule of thumb is to fill half of your dinner plate with non-starchy vegetables. ^[3]

Get enough shut-eye.
