1. Try to do exercises daily for 30 to 45 minutes like at least going for a walk and also, try to do meditation for 20 minutes daily, just sit in one place in a comfortable position and try to concentrate on your normal breathing.
2. Try to eat healthy home cooked foods, and avoid junk foods.
3. You must drink plenty of water.
