  1. Maintain a healthy weight.
  2. Check your waistline.
  3. Eat mindfully. Emphasize on colorful, vitamin rich vegetables and fruits; whole grains; fish, lean poultry, tofu, and beans and other legumes as protein sources in addition to healthy fats. Limit unnecessary calories from sweets, sodas, refined grains like white bread or white rice, unhealthy fats, fried and fast foods, and mindless snacking. Keep a close eye on portion sizes, too.
  4. Exercise regularly. Aim for 2½ to 5 hours weekly of brisk walking (at 4 mph). Else, you may try a vigorous exercise like jogging (at 6 mph) for half that time.
  5. Keep a check on important health numbers. In addition to watching your weight and waistline, keep a watch on your cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure and blood sugar numbers.
