I am riding my bike to go to work everyday, which is almost 20 km total each day. It might sound a little extreme when it is in the middle of winter but, you also know, it feels a lot warmer when you are doing exercise. Higher cardio exercise is also good for eye health since it also regulates blood flow. Besides it is cheaper to commute, environment friendly (I guess, I also do not have a detailed study result about the overall greenhouse gas effect caused by bike transport industry :D) and cheaper.

The second thing I would suggest is, taking cold showers occasionally. It is very good for the immune system and also very helpful when you feel tired and need a kickstart for something.

Finally, I keep unhealthy food away from the desk. If it is easy to reach, it is very easy to consume. It is better to keep willpower for the solutions :).
