Drink plenty of water — most doctors recommend at least eight to nine glasses of water a day
Avoid drinking sodas or other sugary drinks
Take a 15-30 minute walk each day
Cook your meals this week — avoid eating out and eating processed foods
Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar

Get plenty of sleep — seven to nine hours a night for average adults
Turn off the TV for one week
Turn off your computer at home
Plant a garden
Park in the furthest parking spot from the store as possible to get extra walking in
Avoid the elevators and take the stairs instead
Laugh
Try some basic yoga in the morning
Sit quietly for five to ten minutes each day and take deep breaths
