I am pretty much leading a very stressful life, I want to incorporate a good diet and exercise regime in my life and improve my lifestyle, currently I have a resting heart rate of 88bpm and my stress level is also pretty high, since I live in a hostel I would love to have an appropriate regime.

First of all, the intensity of stress is in the perception. Change your perception, there is no stress: it?s like looking at a glass half full or half empty. Apart from that, all your emotions need to be dealt with by expression i.e. You need to talk about the feelings. Then you need to exercise regularly, eat fiber foods (whole grains, fruits and vegetables), sleep at least 8 hours every day, learn Yoga and meditation, learn stress management, and do a personality development course. Because you are into studies, follow a tight schedule, with good breaks and study habits. If group study helps you, do it with the right people. If tutoring is required, arrange for the same. These should see you through successfully without the stress.
