· Part away from sugars

People often keep on getting anxious about their worst enemies but they forget about the ones they have stored away happily at home. Yes, sugar is your enemy. Your worst one so fights it away right now with that healthy sword. Get new substitutes, and use jaggery or stevia instead of white sugar. Grab all the sugar-free cookies and sugar-free jams for breakfast. Drink your tea without any sugar and keep a track of all the bread you are eating. Remember, either you kill sugar or it kills you.

· Drink the H 2 the 0
