2. Exercise daily. Getting up and moving for at least 30-45 minutes of sustained activity.
3. Eat healthy and well-balanced meals. Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals. Make sure that you are getting adequate protein, healthy fats, and a variety of vegetables. Avoid processed foods and sugar.
4. Go outdoors. Getting outside can help you escape the stressors of work and school. Being outdoors is good for your mind and mood and can help strengthen your immune system.
5. Build a strong support system. Connect with friends and family and embrace new and existing interests.
