1. Do not start the day without breakfast

No matter how busy your day is, make it a habit not to leave home without breakfast or to have breakfast outside. Starting the day with a nutritious breakfast will keep you more energized and fit throughout the day.

2. Get into the habit of regular sleep

It is very important to get good quality sleep to stay fit. Going to sleep and waking up at the same time every day will improve physical and mental health. Staying up late studying is not as beneficial as one might think. The ideal is to sleep 7-8 hours a day and wake up early in the morning.

3. Don't Neglect Exercise

Regular exercise will increase muscle strength and endurance. You can take short walks in between classes, so you can stay active without having to go to the gym. You can also stay healthy by practicing exercises such as yoga, pilates or meditation at home.

4. Take Care to Eat a Balanced and Adequate Diet

Eating adequate and balanced nutrition for three meals a day will give you the energy you need throughout the day. For a healthy diet, you should avoid fast food, pay attention to fruit and vegetable consumption, consume at least 2 liters of water and do not neglect a protein-based diet.

5. Maintain Mental Health

Stress is most students' nightmare. To maintain mental well-being, you can do breathing exercises and do activities that relax the soul during the day. Taking time for yourself or spending time at university can also help you relax your mind.
