No, the fountain of youth has not yet been discovered. Genetic
codes have not been altered so that our bodies stay young
forever. There are, though, some very simple steps that you can
take to prolong your lifetime.

Finding a workout routine or a gym membership that fits our
needs can be both frustrating and costly. Most doctors now
agree that simply taking a 30 minute walk or bike ride can do
it wonders for us, even gardening is considered a workout.
There's no real need to do hard-core activities to get our
hearts pumping.

Are you ready for a vacation? Good because vacation time can
have very positive effects on our health by lowering the risk
of premature death. But don't get too excited and take all your
vacation days at one time. Believe it or not, studies have shown
that there is no real benefit from a vacation that is longer
than 5 days - and it takes 3 days to actually unwind. Your
vacation should include some exercise, good sleep and time to
relax. That means no working on you vacation, which 42% of
Americans tend to do. You should try to stay away from your
laptop as difficult as that may be, or keep your phone on
silent unless you are really expecting an important call. Try
to minimize your daily stresses while on vacation.

If you work hard, you will get stressed and that stress effects
your diet, your sleep pattern, and your social life. Stress can
also effect your mental well-being and that can result in
physical issues, mainly increases in blood pressure,
cardiovascular disease and a shorter lifespan. Take it upon
yourself to depart from stress. Step away from you desk for a
few minutes, take a walk around the office to get your
circulation flowing. Remind yourself to breath deeply every so
often. Clear your mind because just thinking about stress can
take its toll on your body.

The age old idea that eight hours of sleep every night is what
we should be getting is still valid. The lack of sleep affects
your hormones, that regulates your appetite which in turn can
lead to obesity. Twenty millions Americans are now affected by
insomnia usually due to stress. That sleep loss can impact your
lifespan. But there is also no benefit for sleeping more than 8
hours so play it safe by starting a good sleeping pattern. Go
to sleep and wake up at the same time everyday and cut back on
the food, caffeine, and alcohol before you go to bed.

A lot of people get sucked into extreme dieting tactics like
the ever so common cabbage diet (which is really just a liquid
diet), the grapefruit diet, and the very popular Atkins diet.
There seems to be an assumption that dieting is a temporary
phase, you can loose the weight in a short amount of time,
reach your goal and then stop. However, what we should be
doing is making changes in our eating habits, real long term
adjustments that we can live with. Making small replacements in
our diets like replacing a soda with juice or water. Replacing
red meet like beef with fish, and cutting back on
the size of the meal will have a massive impact on our health.
