Therefore, make it a habit to remember to sit in a healthy position to maintain a good posture to prevent any type of aches and stress on the ligaments. You can stick a small note on your desk that says: “Sit straight” and after few times this would become a habit. Furthermore, try to walk with your shoulders back and your head high until you become comfortable with this position.

2. Drink one extra cup of water and eat more vegetables and fruits

This is a tip you would hear while talking to any dietitian and this is because water, vegetables and fruits have so many benefits for your health. Water will not only keep you hydrated, but it will keep your body’s temperature normal, lubricating your joints and protecting most of your body’s sensitive tissues. Furthermore, including greens in your meals will add nutrients and water to your diet, helping you feel satisfied with a low number of calories.
