Move More -
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators.
Cut Fat -
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts.
Quit Smoking -
Reduce Stress -
Stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like.
Protect Yourself from Pollution -
If you can’t live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes and exercising near busy thoroughfares.
Wear Your Seat Belt -
Statistics show that seat belts add to longevity and help alleviate potential injuries in car crashes.
Floss Your Teeth -
Recent studies make a direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing.
Avoid Excessive Drinking -
While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day (two for men) can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney disease and cancer.
Keep a Positive Mental Outlook -
There’s a definitive connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life.
