Just like brushing your teeth, healthy habits should be cultivated on a daily basis. The following is a guide to daily tasks:

• Activity should be a daily occurrence. Walk, run or jump for a minimum total of 20 minutes a day.

• Protect your skin. Sun block should be applied on face, neck, arms and hands even in the dead of winter. It protects against climatic toxins too. Moisturize skin daily.

• Eat fruits, vegetables, grains, low-fat dairy products and small amounts of protein. Avoid sweets and other processed foods. 

• Meditate or spend a minimum of five minutes daily in quiet time.

• Find your spiritual self. Discovering what inspires you, raises your level of consciousness, motivates you, and satisfies your soul.

• Exercise your brain. Read, study, solve problems, and learn new skills. As does the body, the brain atrophies with lack of use.

• Hug somebody.

The basics to practice every day:
• Move more
• Cut down on fat
• Quit smoking
• Reduce stress
• Protect yourself from pollution (toxins)
• Wear your seat belt
• Floss your teeth
• Avoid drinking excessive alcohol
• Keep a positive mental outlook
