1. Get Plenty of Sleep
2.   Aim for at least 8-hours a night.
3. Reduce Fast-food intake
   1. Not only will your health increase so will your bank account.
4. Eat-Slower
   1. Most people eat so fast that they outrun the signal from the brain that lets you know you are full. This causes extreme overeating, calorie intake and fat storage.
   2. Listen to your body’s signals.
5. Eat Fish
   1. Fish have no legs and are therefore the healthiest of protein choices.
   2. Fish provides very lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which improve brain function, sex cell formation, mood enhancement and heart health.
6. Trade Saturated fats for Monounsaturated fats
   1. While saturated fats clog arteries by increasing bad cholesterol (LDL), monounsaturated fats help clear clogged arteries by increasing good cholesterol (HDL) and reducing bad cholesterol (LDL).
   2. Monounsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and readily found in nuts, seeds, and oils (especially olive).
