Exercise, Exercise, Exercise!
Covet time for yourself. Any form of physical activity is a must to keep your heart fit and healthy. According to the study, it is said that regular walks can even add up to 2 hours to your life expectancy. You could take a chair instead of the escalator and get up from your office chair every now and then.

Clean Eating!
Clean Eating is the most important component for healthy living. They say you are what you eat. Eat natural and less processed/junk foods. Try to incorporate the clean foods that earth naturally provides you.
Say No to Vices
People who smoke and drink regularly have a higher risk of heart problems. It elevates blood pressure and affects the normal functioning of the heart.
Be Happy
Do not get stressed by everyday chores and while meeting deadlines. The best way to deal with stress is to stay organised and plan things in advance. This will declutter your mind and keep your stress levels in check. Make time for yourself, take that long-awaited vacation and indulge in a hobby.
