Shake your Body!
Every day find new ways to move your body. Use the stairs rather than an
escalator or elevator. Walk your dog (or a neighbours' dog if you don't have
one!) , chase your kids, play ball with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that
moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think
'move' in small increments of time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym
or a 45-minute cardiovascular class or body pump or kickboxing. Move more and
feel better!
Cut the Fat
Don't eat the obvious fat in your diet such as fried foods, burgers and other
fatty meats. Eat dairy products like cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream
low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and
sauces should be eaten in limited amounts and even then in their low fat
verions. Most are available in lower fat versions.
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.
(i.e., go back to number one above!, exercise is a great stress reducer, Soak
in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a
friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get
a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your
temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible. Stop
Smoking
All the experts agree on this one. Ever since 1960 when it was announced that
smoking was harmful to your health, people have been reducing their use of
tobacco products. Just recently, we've seen a surge in smoking in adolescents
and teens. Warn your children of the false romance or 'tough guy' image of
smokers. Find ways to quit smoking hypnosis, support groups and even
prescription medicine such as Zyban is available to help you.
Reduce your exposure to Pollution
Not everyone can live in a smog-free environment, but we can all avoid
smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes and
exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog rating is
low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning where air quality is good. Plant
lots of shrubbery in your yard. It's a good pollution deterrent. If you ride a
bicycle in traffic, where a small pollution mask over your mouth and nose.
Clunk Click every Trip
Statistics show that the wearing of seat belts add to longevity and help
alleviate potential injuries in car crashes.
Floss Your Teeth
Harvard Medical School studied longevity and found one of the most important
contributing factors was daily flossing! Flossing and brushing your teeth
daily can make your RealAge as much as 6.4 years younger. These studies make a
direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing. Nobody knows exactly
why. Perhaps it's because people who floss tend to be more health conscious
than people who don't?

cheerful outlook on life. Yes, keep on smiling and laughing!
