1
Weigh Your Body Every Day
After you wake up, use the bathroom then weigh yourself. Regularly calculate your Body Mass Index
By checking your own weight every day and monitoring it, you can become the master of your health. A healthy weight is something you need to do in order for a healthy life.
2
Drink More Water
Men require 64 ounces per day while women and children need 52 ounces.

DO NOT consume more than 1 gallon of water per day. When the body contains too much water (and dilutes essential electrolytes) it can develop water intoxication. This is a very dangerous condition known as hyponatremia.
Drinking the right amount of water every day will give your body what it needs to carry out its basic functions. And it will help to prevent you from getting sick.
3
Don’t Eat & Drink
at the Same Time
Drink water 30 minutes before eating. Eat, then wait another 30 minutes before any additional water/drink.
A 30-minute break between eating and drinking is essential. Food is diluted with any beverage, especially water, so you do not get the full nutritional value—the reason why people are always hungry and tend to overeat.
Fruit contains essential nutrients that keep the body healthy and help prevent disease. Natural sugar does not increase blood glucose levels and it helps us to make better choices.
5
Mix the Right Foods
How your body absorbs nutrients from the foods you eat is important to learn. If you eat the right mix, you will feel more full after eating, have less tummy discomfort, and begin to lose weight.
Fruit is best consumed on an empty stomach. This is because it digests more quickly than other foods. Also, this is the only food that is OK to be mixed with water.
Proteins take the longest to break down in your stomach. This combination promotes optimum digestion and maximum nutritional value.
Carbohydrates are best mixed with other carbohydrates and vegetables. If you eat these two foods together, you will benefit from proper digestion and maximum nutrient absorption.
Protein is dissolved by acid. Carbohydrates are dissolved by alkaline. When these two enzymes are mixed, they neutralize one other. As a result, the food you eat is not properly digested.
If you watch dogs or cats, they will never eat and drink at the same time.
