10 Ways to Improve Your Health

Something I came across on my site www.cbathletics.com

This is from an old Men's Health magazine...

Men's Health magazine staff put together 100 tips for men to improve their health. You can read this article in the July/August 2003 issue or online at this link: www.menshealth.com/cda/article/0,6916,3-0-0-531,00.html

Here are the top 10 tips…
1. Eat Macadamia nuts. These nuts reduce bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol because of their monounsaturated fat content. (CB says, almonds and walnuts will also help).
2. Eat an apple a day.
3. Drink 2 cups of tea per day.
4. Consume a variety of fruit each day, including grapefruit, raspberries, blueberries, grapes, and strawberries. All of these were identified in studies to help heart health. (CB says - they really should have included vegetables as well).
5. The American Heart Association recommends that you eat fish twice per week.
6. Snack on 1 ounce of pumpkin seeds each day.
7. Include tomato sauce and salsa at your meals. (CB says vegetables as well!)
8. Be physical every day. Go for a walk on the days that you don't go to the gym.
9. Meditate - Find a way to incorporate meditation into your daily schedule.
10. Read for half an hour each day, preferably out loud, perhaps to your kids.
