I live in an urban center and make sure I walk as much as possible. I take the stairs not an escalator on the subway, I get off a stop early and walk the last 10 minutes to work each morning, we moved to be closer to the riverside park so we can walk in nature. Just incorporating movement into your daily routine can make such a huge difference.
A small handful of unsalted Almonds are a GOOD treat for your heart!
Exercise often and reduce fat intake
First thing in the morning drink a glass of fresh carrot juice and 100 grams nuts. Spring water is very good to drink during your busy day, but make sure is not cold.

Be strong and just throw out all the unhealthy food in the cupboards. Then go grocery shopping with your new-found goals in mind. I find the key to eating well is to have healthy staples on hand and easy to grab good-for-you snacks. Having a 16 year old boy in the house, I need endless amounts of food, but there are fruit bowls in both the kitchen and tv room, and just nothing fried or full of bad sugars around to tempt us.
Walk, walk, walk…keep it simple.
Eat healthy,exercise daily,don’t smoke and live a moraly,happy peaceful life and apart from genetics you should live to be a hundred.
No smoking, try to get some form of exercise and eat healthy.
I find that eating more vegetables (especially unprocessed vegetables) not only has me feeling healthier but my body works better. Salads are okay but their are loads of vegetables out there. I think cost is one of the main deterrents in winter to buying fresh vegetables but some of the root veggies which people tend to ignore are great steamed.
Surround yourself with plants and flowers. They are a great stress reducer. Also watch the intake of salt & avoid it as much as possible.
dont use salt in your food, if u really want the taste of salt add, nosalt salt
Always see the glass as half full…no matter what life throws your way, there is good in it….I feel so much better since I adopted this attitude…this morning I marvelled at the dogs running free in the back yard and realized how lucky I am to have the 5 minutes to watch creatures living in the moment…even if it was in between winter poop patrol!
Keep some healthy snacks in your purse or car so when you’re hungry you won’t resort to eating high calorie unhealthy foods.

Know when to let things go. Holding onto angers and grudges often hurts you much more than the person your angry at(physically as well as mentally).
Tomorrow always brings a new day. Never hold grudges or get angry over the little things in life. Forgive and forget, and leave the negatives behind you.
Live with no regrets.
Have a diet filled with non-processed foods and vegan as much as possible to stay away from saturated fats.
Quit smoking…its never too late to quit.
