Happy New Year Everyone!
I hope that all of you enjoyed New Year’s Eve. A new year often brings new changes, or as we like to call them, RESOLUTIONS. This week’s health tips were recommended to me by one of my friends, and it includes some ideas to help you lead a healthier lifestyle in 2007. I think you will find them useful. If you have any questions, please email me at colette_joseph@doh.state.fl.us. Enjoy the rest of the week.
Essential Health Tips:
Move More:
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body.
Cut Fat:
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage).
Reduce Stress:
Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like.
Floss Your Teeth:
Recent studies make a direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing. Nobody knows exactly why. Perhaps it's because people who floss tend to be more health conscious than people who don't? Thought for the day: Floss and be your body's boss.

Keeping your car tuned and your silver polished is pretty straightforward. To buff up your brain? Spinach. Leafy greens help slow the rate at which people's minds naturally lose their edge due to aging. Eat three or more servings of these veggies each day and you'll slow mental decline by as much as 40 percent.
