2. Get checked up.

After you cross four decades of life, annual medical check-ups are mandatory. If possible, get them twice a year. After your physical, follow any orders the physician gives you.

3. Meditate every day

One, it reduces your body’s natural response to react negatively. Two, it helps you find better solutions to issues.

4. Drink copious water.
