Eat on time

It is recommended to have three meals on a fixed timing every day. Having meals too early or too late does no good to your health.

Consume a moderate amount of food

When having meals, it is advised to have a moderate amount of food and fluids.

Follow a quality diet

A quality diet calls for more vitamin C and less oil, salt, and sugar. Avoid foods that are too spicy, rough, or too nutrient-rich.

Balance the diet

Restrict the intake of snacks and sodas. To maintain a balanced diet, one is suggested not to be a picky eater.

Have sanitary food

Ordering fewer takeout meals, choose fresh food, and follow food hygiene.

Slow down eating

Take your time while eating, and refrain from gorging. It is good for you to chew food thoroughly before swallowing it.
