Our recommendations are based on scientific research and good ol' common sense:
- Exercise daily,
just like you'd brush your teeth. Exercise must become a habit done
"just for you."
- Don't smoke
or use tobacco products and limit your alcohol consumption.
- Eat a healthy
diet. Aim for eating 10 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables;
eat fewer fried and processed foods; and choose fish, poultry and lean
cuts of meat for your protein sources.
- Maintain a healthy
weight.
- Be sure to get
your vitamins.
- Get regular
check-ups.
- Simplify your
life. Prioritize tasks that are enjoyable and eliminate unnecessary
ones. Commit yourself to things that are important to you. Cultivate
and nurture friendships and family relationships.
- Be positive and enthusiastic. You are as happy as you choose to be. A good attitude is contagious.
