76. Taking Lots Of Meds?
Always carry a list of any medication you are taking and the name of your doctor.
77. Back Hurting?
Lie on the floor with your calves on a chair. Get someone to check that there are right angles between your body and your thighs, and between your thighs and your calves. Lie like this for several minutes.
78. Creating Time
Being fit creates time - you can go upstairs more quickly, do household chores more easily, so take time to exercise and create more time.
79. Move While You Work
If you sit in an office, put your phone where you'll have to get up to answer it and walk around while you talk.
80. Beer And Spirits
Half a pint of beer contains the same amount of alcohol as a single measure of spirits. Don't underestimate beer, when working out how much to drink.
81. Heating Oils
Heating polyunsaturated oils (e.g. corn oil, sunflower oil, vegetable oil) make them toxic. They should be stored in a fridge and eaten uncooked.
82. Heart Disease
Transfats (produced when vegetable oils are artificially hardened to produce margarine) have been linked to heart disease. Fast foods are often high in transfats.
83. Take 5 (At Least)
Eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day and less saturated fat can help improve your health and may reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases.
84. Buying Ready-Meals?
Choose low fat options or supermarket healthy eating ranges, but check labels before buying. Go for meals that have less than 3g fat per 100g or less than 10g fat per serving. (British Dietetics Association)
85. Arthritis Of The Knee?
Studies have shown that electroacupuncture can help arthritis of the knee.
86. Medical Errors
It has been estimated that between 44,000 and 98,000 patients in the USA die each year as the result of medical mistakes. Speak up if you are concerned. Be actively part of the process.
87. Shopping
Reduce the number of times you go to the supermarket. The more often you go the more you are likely to buy unhealthy food.
88. Waiting For Your Dinner?
While you're waiting for your dinner to cook, spend five minutes doing a set of push ups, a set of crunches and back extensions. Use a gym/stability ball if you've got one. If you're tired, do stretches instead.
89. Excess Mercury
Excess mercury in your body can result in muscle tremour, digestive upsets and/or dermatitis.
90. Drinking Enough Water?
Check your urine - it should be the colour of pale straw, although some medication and some supplements will affect the colour. If it's darker, drink more water.
Always carry a list of any medication you are taking and the name of your doctor.
