Keep the body clean: Waking up every morning, brushing your teeth, taking a bath, and eating nutritious food may seem like a daunting task, but keeping the body clean is the first step to staying healthy. You should bath regularly, keep your nails trimmed, set a bedtime, and sleep for 7 hours every day; don’t stay up late at night.
