Eat well, exercise and quality sleep. I don’t eat processed food; I only go with natural foods that contain fibre and a lot of vegetables. Try as much as you can to avoid processed carbohydrate since it contains a lot of sugar, it’s not good for the system as one grows older.

I eat a lot of fibre, vegetables and oats. For swallow, I eat black plantain flour. They are naturally good for the body.

It enhances your posture, the next morning and you wake up very active and ready to perform your daily activities.
