Breathe right!
Whether you are 80 or 20, breathing right is extremely important. It can prolong longevity, release stress and help you meditate. Our busy lifestyles have made us shallow breathers — the chest doesn't rise when you inhale and the stomach doesn't swell while exhaling, which is what happens when one breathes right. During exercise, follow this simple mantra of breathing —
exhale, when you are going against gravity and inhale, when you come back to gravity.
Drink enough water
Stay hydrated by having enough fluids. Also, one must take six small meals a day and ensure that the last meal is the lightest. Do not cut out carbs from your diet as these are important for the brain's functioning. Start your day with a high-carb diet such as salads and then as the day progresses, cut down on carbs and increase proteins.
Get an exercise routine
It is very important to follow some sort of fitness routine. It is not necessary to go to a gym and sweat it out, you could also opt for mild walks, dancing, hiking or whatever makes you happy. When you do this, learn to disconnect from the outer world and spend time with yourself. Make stretching a crucial part of your lifestyle.
