You are less likely to get sick as well, and can lower your risk for heart disease and diabetes. So, make the time!

Many celebrities drink water religiously, among those are Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Aniston, and Cameron Diaz. And you can tell that it works!
3. Get a message to boost immunity: Who doesn’t love massages? What a wonderful and pleasurable way to stay healthy! Studies have found that a 45-minute massage can cause an increase in white blood cells that fight bacteria and viruses.

4. Small workouts: including stretching. Walk as much as you can, take the stairs, and take time to stretch throughout the day. If you want to kick it up a notch without a full blown workout, then try jumping jacks and/or jumping rope. Simple, right? Consistency is key. After a while of being consistent with small workouts, your body will get used to it and then you can up your standards and up your game!
5. Meditate: Probably everyone has heard of the relaxing and stress-reducing effects of meditating. It just chills you out! But wait, there’s more: studies have shown that people who practice yoga or meditation long-term had much more “disease-fighting genes” present! Mind over matter, right? Take at least 10 minutes of your day to clear your mind and take deep breaths. You will see the changes pretty soon! Celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Angelina Jolie, and Eva Mendes are among many who meditate.
