  10. KEEP YOURSELF HYDRATED: Not only eating well is important but keeping yourself hydrated and having 10-12 glasses throughout the day is also important. It is also important to have liquids throughout the day and to avoid having it in one go as it can lead to water retention and gastric discomfort.

You need to make a balance between everything and enjoy whatever you are eating. Eating healthy is not always boring.
