Some tips from HCFI
- Develop healthy habits: eat, sleep, and exercise right
- Everything in moderation – Be it drinking, using the cell phone, or even sitting in one place, remember to not overdo it.
- Ancient wisdom – In addition to physical exercise, do yoga and meditation for your mental and spiritual well-being and maintain equilibrium. Allow your body to heal itself.
- Periodic Check-up – Prevention is better than cure. Early detection of most health problems can help in correcting lifestyles to slow the degeneration process and lead a longer and healthier life.
- Avoid smoking – Not only active smoking, but passive too is very harmful for the body. In addition, manage your blood cholesterol, blood pressure as well as diabetes and maintain optimum weight. Limit your salt intake and drinking.
