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?
Maintain a Positive Mental Outlook
There's a definitive connection between living well and healthily and having a

cheerful outlook on life. Yes, keep on smiling and laughing!
Pick Your Parents Well !
The link between genetics and health is a powerful one. You can't pick your

parents, but just because one or both of your parents died young in ill health

doesn't mean you can't counteract the genetic pool handed you. So follow the

first 9 tips above. for more details visit:
