A doctor has provided 1 answer
150 min/week: 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise/week is generally sufficient. Visit this site for examples of moderate exercise. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/obesity-prevention-source/moderate-and-vigorous-physical-activity/ Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
