Hey,
The best advice I can give you is exercise daily and eat well. Eat at least 5 portions of fruit or vegetables a day. Try to cut out as much sugar and snacks as you can manage. Drink plenty of water. Exercise for about 30 minutes a day, remember this does not have to be running a million miles and lifting 10 ton weights. Walking is an excellent form of exercise and is great because you can walk briskly around shops whilst looking at really cute outfits!
I hope this helps!

Hon, you need to go and talk to your mother. Don't wait any longer. I would be devastated if my daughter didn't come to me. And you're going to have to find the strength to do many, many adult things now, so there is no point in waiting.
Please take good care of your health (no junk food, no alcohol, no smoking, no drugs). You need to start taking prenatal vitamins – you can get these at most stores. Get plenty of calcium. You do not need to wear loose pants – that will come in time and you'll want maternity clothes down the road.
Please, go tell your mom now. Together you can make a plan as to what is in the best interest of your baby, you, and the baby's father.

Eat healthy, no fast food or junk food, and remain active !
A little exercise (30 mins) everyday is all you need.

Stop smoking if you smoke.
Get a pedometer to see how many steps a day you walk.
Join a gym- even better, join a gym with your spouse/co-worker/friend so you have someone to keep you going back.

Well, do the following:
1. Exercise regularly. Your vision is connected to your general health. Diseases like hypertension and diabetes can reduce your vision, in fact they can lead to blindness. So exercising regularly will help your body and your eyes as well.
2. Watch that weight!
3. Do not read with dim light. Although the pupil will adjust the amount of light coming through the eyes by dilating thus enabling you to see, it is not really advisable.
4. Vitamin A supplements will help if you have problems with night vision. But if your vision is perfectly okay, eat green and leafy vegatables and fruits as well. These will provide for you good source of vitamin A which is very important for the eye.
5. Wear those sunglasses to protect your eyes from harm rays of the sun as well as from dust and wind. But be sure your lenses are with UV protection.
6. If your vision is not very clear and sometimes you have dizziness or headache, visit your eye doctor you may need spectacles. And if you are wearing one it is recommended to see your doctor every six months to have an assessment of your visual condition.
7. The nerve (oculo-motor nerve) that supply your (ocular branch) eyes also supply the teeth through its mandibular branch. Therefore check those teeth also, any problems with your teeth will also affect your vision.
8. When swimming, wear those goggles. Some people may have put more chlorine to the water. Better to be safe.
9. When you read, try to make the eye and the reading object in a distance of 40 cm. This will help your eyes to relax. Because the nearer is the reading object the greater is the effort to see it clearly.
10. Avoid exposure to too much light. While the light is the main reason why we see, excessive light can be harmful to eyes also.
11. If you have dry eyes there are many eye lubricants available in the market.
I hope these help…
