Pranayama is very beneficial. I think it should be a no brainer to incorporate it into our daily lie style. It takes just a few minutes and a quiet place to do it. There are several videos online but I personally like Ram Dev Baba's videos. Complete Package of Pranayama for Beginners This is a good beginning to start Pranayama.

I first came across this diet 3 years ago I think. One of my friends mentioned about it. I read about it but did not pay much attention. I have a neighbor who has been doing intermittent fasting from the past 15 years. She does not eat anything after lunch basically. She eats only breakfast and lunch in 24hours. This other friend lost 50+ kgs in a period of 2 years and raves about this diet. Intermittent fasting has him of all his health issues, made him very energetic etc. He runs marathons now.
