10. Combine a Healthy Diet with Exercise

You might not want to hear it (again), but regular exercise is essential for maintaining a healthy body. 30 to 60 minutes of moderate physical activity is the recommended daily amount, which in reality is only 2 to 4% of your day. Everyone knows that physical activity promotes well-being, creates a more positive body image and burns additional calories.

Combined with a balanced diet, it's the most effective tool to keep weight gain at bay.
