The 1st meal of the day gives you the energy to work all day and gets digested sooner than any other meal. Second comes the lunch. The lunch shall be had a little lesser than the breakfast. According to the Indian standards, the perfect Lunch amount is two rotis and more of vegetables and curd. The greener the plate, the healthier the meal. Then comes the dinner. The dinner shall be had before 7pm and not beyond that because if the dinner is had later at night and you tend to eat too much, it will take it’s own sweet time to digest eventually giving you a troublesome night. The dinner shall be only nibbled, not devoured.

2. WORKOUT
