Water will ALWAYS be one of the best ways to stay slim. It helps you burn calories, so make sure to drink water throughout the day (8+ cups).
5. Laughter
Laughter can indeed be one of the best medicines. Laughing for 15 minutes a day can burn around 10-40 calories.
So find a funny show or Youtube videos to watch, look up jokes online, or laugh hard at that funny story your friend just told you. It all counts!
