2. Eat one apple a day

They say that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. This is among other reasons because though apples are low in Vitamin C, they enhance Vitamin C activity in the body and help to reduce stoke.

3. Eat fruits on empty stomach

This helps to detoxify the system. It provides energy and also helps in weight loss.

Eating fruits immediately after food could cause more harm to the body for when the fruits get mixed with the food in the system, it will turn to acid then the acid-base balance will be affected.

4. Drink plenty of water every day

Water helps to improve the body metabolism rate. But DO NOT drink cold water with or immediately after a meal as it could lead to cancer.

The cold water will solidify the oily food eaten, and then reduce its digestion rate which in the end lines the oil in the intestine.

5. Work out 4 times a week

The health benefits of working out regularly are far more than just weight management.
