3. Stear away from processed foods - as much as possible. Eat lots of fresh vegetables & fruits.
4. Keep sodium content <2300mg per day.
5. Do elliptical or walking (3.5mph) atleast 30 min. 3-5 times a week.
6. Do home exercises (crunches, squats, etc.) atleast 3 times a week.
7. Do arm exercises with 5lbs. weights atleast 2 times a week.
8. Drink 3 to 4 liters of water per day.
