Exercise daily.
from How Not to Die: Daily Dozen by Michael Greger
More than two-thirds of American adults are overweight. This is mainly due to consuming too many calories and not being active enough. Physical activity boosts your immune system, prevents and treats high blood pressure, and improves your mood and sleep quality.
