Take out time to exercise at least 30 minutes in most days of the week, you need to exert yourself so that your heart rate jumps and you sweet a little. You can get apps that help with your exercise routine. Sign up for health insurance Don’t make assumptions about your health, make your health a priority Eat healthy foods, be deliberate about your meals, plan it out, reduce portion size and drink a lot of water. Demystifying myths A lot of us in Nigeria ascribe a lot of health care stuff to superstitious and religious basis when they are actually physical things that happen and can be treated, some people would say only sinners get sick but that is not true, anyone can get sick and can be treated, please listen to what your doctor says about your health.
