How Training Helped Me to Reconstruct My Body and Manage My Depression When I crave for chips, I go for homemade oven baked chips. So, that’s the art of switching. I have never touched alcohol in my life and neither do I smoke, I have two cups of tea, one cup of green coffee and one cup of a green tea per day. I use applications like, “Google fit” for health and activity tracking, and additionally, I go for “pacer” to count my daily steps.
