2. Have early dinner
The earlier you have your dinner, the better it is for your health. Also, it is important to keep a gap of at least 2 hours between dinner and bed time. Have healthy, home-cooked meals for dinner like dal rice, roti, chappati, sabzi etc.
3. Stay active
The key to staying active is avoiding sitting at one place for more than 30 minutes. According to Rujuta, for every 30 minutes that you sit in a place, stand for at least 3 minutes. And this standing should be done by standing up straight on both your feet and not by leaning on the wall or by taking a support.
