3. Walk 30 minutes daily: Keeps sugar levels balanced and helps reduce weight. Win-Win!
4. Blood Pressure and Cholesterol check-ups: Early detection can save the cost of stents, angioplasty, or bypass surgery.
5. Walk for an hour in the morning + timely sleep at night: Natural Blood Pressure control and a healthy heart!
6. Regular emotional stress detox: Maintaining the mind-heart connection prevents emergency room visits.
7. Weigh yourself weekly: Control on the scale means control on hospital bills.
8. Avoid sugar, choose real fruits: Soda and sugar increase costs for MRI and Liver tests.
