"Protect your skin. Sun block should be applied on face, neck, arms and hands. It protects against climatic toxins too. Moisturize skin daily.",
"Eat fruits, vegetables, grains, low-fat dairy products and small amounts of protein. Avoid sweets and other processed foods.",
"Meditate or spend a minimum of five minutes daily in quiet time.",
"Find your spiritual self. Discover what inspires you, raises your level of consciousness, motivates you, and satisfies your soul.",
"Exercise your brain. Read, study, solve problems, and learn new skills. As does the body, the brain atrophies with lack of use.",
"Hug somebody.",
"Try healthier cooking methods - opt for steamed, broiled, baked, roasted, grilled, microwaved or stir-fried.",
"Add herbs and spices instead of sauces and glazes for flavor without fat.",
"Use pureed, cooked vegetables in the place of cream, butter and egg yolks to thicken soups or dressings. In baked goods, substitute pureed fruit for butter, lard or other oils.",
"Cut the amount of sugar that a recipe calls for by at least 25%.",
"Drink seven to eight glasses of water or other fluids per day. This will prevent dehydration and possibly protect against illness. ",
"Identify the best time of day to eat your biggest meal and then make sure you eat foods full of nutrients.",
"Eat with others. You're likely to eat better when a meal is also a social occasion.",
"Find ways to make food tastier. Better tasting food sparks the appetite. You can add herbs and spices, maple syrup, bacon bits and butter flavorings.",
"Try to eat slowly, sit up straight when you eat, and eat small meals frequently. This will cut down on the amount of gas you have.",
"Avoid lying down flat at least one hour after meals. This allows for proper digestion.",
"Include softer foods in your diet, such as cottage cheese, yogurt, casseroles made with ground meat or cheese, canned or very soft fruits.",
"Have regular dental check-ups.",
"Do your house-workout. Treat housecleaning as a chance to exercise, keep track of how much time you spend on your feet. The same goes for raking leaves, pruning hedges, pushing a lawn mower and other yard work.",
"Shop at the 100-yard sale. Park an extra 100 yards from the mall entrance, and take a few laps around the shopping center as you scope out the sales.",
"Laughter is the best medicine! Laughing lowers blood pressure, improves circulation, and lessens pain. A good giggle induces the brain to release endorphins, so whoop it up!",
"There is a significant decrease in self-esteem when people stop exercising. Performing cardiovascular activities or toning combined with stretching produce equal increases in self-esteem."
