  • Eat small portions of healthy snacks like ragi chips, nuts, fruits, popcorn, healthy oat biscuits, at regular intervals if there's too much time between your meals. Avoid overindulging, though.

  • Try walking as much as possible. Take the stairs, walk during your lunch break. If you take your vehicle to work, park it slightly away from your office so you have to walk, regardless. Stretch as much as possible and walk as and when you get the chance to. 
  • If need be, resort to reminder apps on your phone that will send alerts for you to take breaks in order to rest your eyes, go for a stretch, take a walk and so on.
