3.Eat your breakfast
It is the most important meal of the day. After a long night's rest, your body needs the fuel to get your metabolism going and give you energy for the rest of the day.

Regular exercise helps in burning fat from your body. Make it a routine to exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes a day. It will also help you in maintaining your hormone levels, avoiding sugar cravings and keeping yourself fit.

Limiting the amount of sodium in your diet can help your body to expel the retained water. Major source of sodium in diet is table salt which is 40% sodium and 60% chloride. Other sources of sodium include packaged potato chips, pickled food, cured meat, salami, and various fermented sauces like soya sauce.
6. Eat slowly
