1. Be a safe driver. Car accidents take so many lives each year. Use a seatbelt. Consider taking a defensive driving course which may also reduce your car insurance costs. Choose a car with safety considerations and maintain the brakes and other features. Avoid driving in bad weather conditions.
2. Exercise daily and maintain a healthy weight and in particular, watch putting on weight around your middle. Both aerobic and resistance training are vitally important for maintaining your weight, preventing diabetes, and for keeping your heart and bones strong.
3. Keep healthy eating habits. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and reduce your consumption of white foods, sweet, processed meats, coffee, and red meat. A cup of tea daily will give you more antioxidants. Reduce how often you eat barbecue or fast foods.
4. Take vitamins and supplements but avoid iron. Calcium is of particular importance for maintaining strong bones and other functions.
5. Keep good dental hygiene and floss. Gum disease and bacteria can cause plaque build up in your heart.
6. Reduce your stress and enjoy life. People live longer when they have some work, but working six or seven days a week or eleven hour days will shorten your life expectancy significantly. Find ways of coping with stress and choose enjoyable hobbies and physical activities to maintain your health and happiness.
7. Don't smoke and avoid other bad habits. Smoking and breathing second hand smoke place you at high risk for lung disease. Excessive drinking, drug use, unsafe sexual habits, and chewing tobacco are among other habits that can cause disease and unhappiness.
8. Have good relationships. Being in a good relationship can add five years to your life. Learn to talk openly with your family and friends. Good communication greatly influences your ability to reduce stress and keep a healthy heart. It also makes life more enjoyable.
9. Get eight hours of sleep at night. Chronic sleep deprivation increases stress and significantly lowers your immunity to diseases.
10. Have an annual preventative check up and have regular recommended screening for cancers, heart disease, and diabetes.
