- Avoid foods that have any of these as their first five ingredients: saturated fat, trans fat, simple sugar or syrup like high-fructose corn syrup.
- Choose 100% whole grains whenever possible.
- Exercise 45 minutes/day x 6 days/week or 30 mins/day as many days/week (2 of the days should be strength training)
- Eat more spinach! (e.g. spinach, mandarin and almond salad has a lot of vitamin E and C)
- Floss everyday! It prevents gum disease that has been linked to heart attack and stroke.
- Take more walks (if you can't meet the exercise requirements suggested above)
- Breathe more deeply. Try the 4-7-8 rule (count to 4 when you inhale, count to 7 as you hold, and count to 8 as you exhale)
- Eat plenty of rainbow-hued fruits and vegetables.
That's a start!
