You can get all these from whole grains, fruits and vegetables. A healthy breakfast full of multivitamins will boost your metabolism for the whole day and keep you energetic and physically active.
2. Change your eating plan- By changing your eating plan, I mean including all the colors in your diet. Eat a lot of fruits and veggies. Prepare a proper eating plan like set timings for each of your meal. You should have at least 3-4 meals in day. And add snacks between your meals so you do not crave all the time. In order to change your eating habits you need to change your mindset.
3. Stay hydrated- Always stay hydrated. Keeping your body completely hydrated is very essential for good health. Hydration helps in improved performance, digestion, increased metabolism rate and prevents fatigue. A dehydrated body is not energetic and inefficient.

5. Maintain a healthy weight- Try to maintain a healthy body weight. Overweight can lead to many health problems like fatigue, loss skin, skin diseases etc. So try to maintain a healthy body weight according to your age and height.  
6. Be Physically active- Being physically active means not sitting at a place for hours doing your job. Get up and move that body. If you are talking to someone on phone, then don’t just sit at a place. Walk & Talk. Have a daily routine of exercise of about 25-30 minutes. Do basic exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, squats, stretching, jogging etc. You can also do yoga or opt for Zumba or cardio workouts. Climb stairs instead of using lifts or find workouts you love.
7. Have a Good sleep- Don’t make any compromise on your sleeping hours because of your job or anything else. You need to have a proper sleep of at least 8 hours. A good sleep is very important for your health because our body heals while we are sleeping. If you lack proper sleep you will not feel energetic the next day and your mind will not able to cope up with the stress.
8. Find ways to be stress free- If you are dealing with a lot of stress then your body and mind will slowly and slowly degrade. Calm your mind. Start meditation. Go and hang out with your family & friends. And as we all know; laughter is the best medicine. So, keep smiling no matter what.
9. Try to be socially more active- Now days, we get so much consumed in our work that we forget to enjoy our life and spend some quality time with our family & friends which adversely affects our mental health. So to feel more fresh and active mentally, you need to be socially more active and open. Get involved in your community. Try to maintain a healthy attitude towards everything you do. Always be curious about your life. Don’t hesitate in trying new things.
10. Talk to a Physician- Last but not the least, always stay connected to your physician. Talk to him if you are facing some issue, be open to him. He is there to help, so tell him what’s your problem whether it’s mentally or physically.
