Men’s Health has put out a list of ways men can add years to your life and while time will not allow for all of them I give you 25 rather simple tips than can help us dodge the Grim Reaper:
1. Drink at least five 8-ounce glasses of water a day.
2. Don’t go to work sick.
3. Put out the fire in your chest as untreated heartburn can lead
to a heart attack.
4. Take a magnesium supplement.
5. Exercise enough to burn at least 1,100 calories a week.
6. Take a Daily Multivitamin.
7. Set a limit of 3-drinks when you go out.
8. When you need to go to the hospital don’t be a tough guy and
drive yourself….walk-in patients wait almost twice as long as
those who arrive by ambulance.
9. Eat fruits and vegetables at every meal.
10. Monitor your Blood Sugar.
11. Think positive…constant worrying shortens your life span by 16
years.
12. Keep your cool…those with anger-management issues are more
than twice as likely to have a stroke.
13. Have Breakfast within 90 minutes of waking up in the morning.
14. Eat Berries.
15. Sleep on your side.
16. Live life in a smoke-free zone….secondhand smoke raises your
Diabetes risk by 40% and also boosts your risk of lung cancer.
17. Check your smoke alarms.
18. Sip on Mint Tea.
19. Find time to exercise and do it outside as often as possible.
20. Cut out the sweet stuff.
21. Stash a cinnamon air freshener in your car.
22. Try and take a 30-minute nap in the middle of your day.
23. Enjoy your coffee…it can lower your risk of dying of heart disease
by 53%.
24. If you feel you are going to fall try and let your butt hit first.
25. Don’t jaywalk….77% of pedestrians killed while crossing the road
are not at intersections.
