Tip 1: Set aside 10 to 20 minutes each day for solitude. Use the time to meditate, pray, or listen to something inspirational.
Tip 2: Reconsider flimsy footwear. Flip-flops offer minimal support for the 26 bones of the feet. Switch to sturdier, athletic shoes when walking long distances, playing sports, gardening or mowing the lawn.
Tip 3: Rethink dessert: toss some fruit on the grill. The American Heart Association recommends grilled fruit as a healthy side dish. Try nectarines, peaches, pineapple slices and plums. The heat caramelizes the natural sugars in the fruit, adding flavor.
Tip 4: Become an active commuter. People who walk or bicycle to work get more exercise than those who don’t and area less likely to be obese or have diabetes.
Tip 5: Use caution in hot weather. Working out when it’s hot can lead to cramps, fainting
