What do you do daily to maintain good health?

Not enough. Right now I zumba and swim. What I really need to do is also go back to eating a better diet.

I test my blood sugar more than 10 times a day, take insulin at meals and whenever needed, try to walk as much as I can, but don’t walk when it means I might croak, I eat vegetarian, take vitamins and supplements, make it an absolute priority to get enough sleep, and breathe from my diaphragm.

Drink lots of water and do moderate exercise. Vitamins, Flax Seed Oil, Fish Oil and one aspirin a day.

I try to remain under 1200 calories a day and take diet pills.

I’m a hedonist at heart and have to temper my indulgent side. I try to eat well, drink lots of water, take vitamins and, get plenty of rest. I keep my stress levels down.
IMO, regardless of just about any other vice, short of being a raging alcoholic or drug addict, stress management is key. The body has amazing self healing abilities, but prolonged stress IS the number one killer.

Better to eat an occasional Twinkie than to walk around in a constant state of disgruntled tension. Angry, stressed out people are at the highest risk of serious health issues far and above their dietary issues.
If you’re an easy going, low neurotic type you’re far ahead of the game regardless of occasional indulgences.

@Tropical_Willie: Oh yah, I forgot. WATAR. I DRINK LOTS OF WATER. EVERYONE SHOULD DRINK MORE. Except for marathon runners and ravers, who should drink only enough but not too much!

I have porridge every morning because I like it and because it is also healthy. I love cycling and cover a few miles at least twice a week. I also do a little walking. I should probably exercise more especially in winter.

Oh, I was not even thinking medicaion and vitamins. I take a thyroid pill every day, I would probably eventually die without it. I take megadoses of vitamin D and iron and B12, all of which I am dificient if I don’t. And, a daily vitamin with the typical US recomendations.

@flutherother: HELL YEAH FIBER!

I don’t eat or drink too much. If I see my weight is going up, I eat less. I do not exercise for exercise’s sake. I get exercise by moving around and doing things.

I take my supplements. Ones that I have carefully selected based on scientific research and that I see a difference in my health from.

Drink a lot of water. Eat (mostly) healthy, keep moving, take my meds as prescribed.

Drink more water than eat food, stretch throughout the day. I try to eat a good breakfast and lunch so I can just have a snack for dinner or skip it all together. Alcohol is pretty much limited to when I eat out somewhere nice, I’ve given up my nightcap to save those calories for cheese instead.

Don’t forget laughter…it IS the best medicine!

I drink a glass of water one hour before I work out.
I run two miles in 14 minutes or less and follow that run with weight lifting for thirty minutes or more.
I stretch and cool down and leave back home.
I try to each an adequate proportion of carbs, protein, and fat to regulate hunger and continue to burn fat throughout the day.
I drink a glass of water (6oz) each hour until about 7 pm.
I read things that interest me and try to keep a sensible upkeep of my emotions by exercising patience with children and a 20 week old chihuahua.

Whoa! I forgot a big one. Guys, if you are over 55 and younger than 80 get your prostate checked. The next time you have blood work done get a PSA test.
If you know your Social Security number, you should know your PSA number.
(And if your doc says you don’t need it, ask him if he knows his PSA. – If he says yes, kick him in the nuts.)

I swear by a vegetarian diet, it has been beneficial all these years.

Generally well balanced diet although it may be balanced out over a week, not a day; maintain weight which is suitable for my height and frame; vitamin supplements plus prescribed medications; at least 36 oz. water/day; maintain excellent posture; get enough sleep; walk up and down 3 flights of stairs daily (don’t always achieve that one.) My internist says everything is either normal or under control and that’s good enough for me. I’ve pretty much given up the idea of living until I’m 125 years old.

I highly recommend a quarterly happy brownie festival to reduce stress.

This is the prescription:

Make batch of happy brownies. Freeze overnight and prepare for the festival of no stress.
Shop for the weekend, turn off phones, close the gate to the house and go on a happy mini-vacation wandering around in nature, eating your favorite things and just staring at the sky and trees.
You will love to be 107, guaranteed! lol

Vegan diet with occasional slips for ice cream and a bit of cheese.

! T. ground flax seed, some walnuts and cinnamon on steel-cut oats in the morning.

Yoga stretches for back and knees daily.

Additional strength, and weigh-bearing exercises and treadmill every other day.

Standing up straight and smiling a lot.

Eating locavoire when possible.

Small dose amitriptyline for sleep issues.
2000 IU D3
50 mg B complex
Omega 3 (which I am about to stop.)
Red Yeast Rice
Co-Q-10

Teasing Milo.

I try to eat healthy. It isn’t hard per se, since I’m not picky worth two cents. I love vegetables and seafood, so I eat a lot of that. It’s not because I have any real motivation or willpower though, it’s because I like eating this stuff.
Problem is, I know nothing about food or vitamins or what my body might need. I figure this stuff I’ve been eating can’t hurt though. I also avoid sugar like mad, stuff like pastries or candy and soft drinks.

I eat at least 5 cups of fruits and vegetables a day, go to a trainer 3 times a week, go to yoga 3 to 6 days a week, have a dog, am in a good relationship, and I try not to worry about things I can’t change.

A minimum of 6 hours of social interaction.
