You can have early morning snack to keep your blood sugar steady before your relatives rise and shine. Enjoy 3PM meal and have a small snack at 8.

Don’t sit down all day

Don’t spend all the day at home sitting in front of the TV. Encourage or insist the whole family to get out for a walk at some point after the meal to help digestion. You can do more activity like skating, playing basket balls, footballs or any other outdoor old-fashioned game.
