changing the order in which you shower, dress, and eat breakfast.
Get right up from the table after meals. Use time on the bench

fresh, clean feeling and a whiter smile.

cycling, swimming. Plus it boosts energy, stamina, and all around
fitness and curbs your appetite.
Stick with low-calorie snacks if you're concerned about your weight. Try popcorn (without butter), sugarfree gums and mints, fresh fruits, and sliced vegetables.
