Eat healthily: Eating healthy will help prevent diseases like diabetes. Limit the amount of salt to one teaspoon per day, sugar to less than 5 per cent of total energy intake and saturated fats to less than 10 per cent of energy intake. Indulge in green and leafy vegetables on a daily basis.
Stay active: One in 4 people are not active enough. Adults should do at least 2.5 hours of moderate-intensity physical activity a week. This will help combat weight gain and reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer and can help beat depression too.
