Drink skim milk
Looks like it's the same milk but witouth fat. But really it's not so. Skim milk can not be compared to a common milk in terms of positive properties.

Do taking care of your posture
The correct posture is the symmetrical location of all organs. Take care of your back: it correctly adjusts the office chair and the inclination angle of the monitor. Here are the things to keep in mind:
Choose the length of the chair according to the length of your calf. Your seat should be hard.
The glutes should occupy at least 2/3 of the chair.
The back of the chair should be adjusted to the maximum curvature of your spine.
Sit in such a way that the spine is firmly attached to the backrest.
Take care that your shoulder blades are together, that the shoulders are on the same level and that your abdomen is relaxed.
Do not cross your legs because this would cause problems of blood circulation in the lower extremities.
Make the movements smoothly so that the column does not hit the back of the chair.
Adopt a position in which the body weight is concentrated in the hip, and that your head looks forward and up.
Do not rush to change posture if you feel discomfort. Let your muscles become accustomed to the correct posture. A part of them will gradually relax, which will make you the habit of always sitting in this way. Just do not expect it to happen right away.
