Healthy Choices

Want to live a long time?

Here's a few things I've discovered. Children, pay attention.

Wear your seat belts.
Be a "defensive driver," always prudent.
Exercise.
Eat organic.
Eat protein.
Don't drink pop. Don't eat much sugar.
Do eat raw honey, in moderation.
Don't have sex before marriage.
Don't drink alcohol.
Don't do illegal drugs. (Duh!)
Have some plants in the house. Geraniums, for example. Or leave the windows open. They filter the air.
Take a gun safety class.
Avoid bad company. If you can't, trust God to keep you, and WITNESS to them!
Don't smoke.
Laugh often.
Pray.
Go to church.
Love people.
Wash your hands frequently. Wash your clothes, your body, your sheets, your house, your dishes.
Brush your teeth and see the dentist regularly.
Eat food that is well cooked. Don't eat sushi.
Make sure you boil/filter water that you're going to drink from an untrusted source.
Have pets. (They offer exercise and thwart depression)
Go outside everyday.
Value sleep.
Learn to cook well.
Wear appropriate clothes. (In Norway there is no bad weather, just bad clothes)
Be positive. Choose cheerfulness. Decide to be happy.
Learn something new everyday.
Sing. Make music. Choir members have healthier immune systems.
Read a lot.
Read your Bible everyday.
Lose your fear.
Never get angry, just bless those irritations. (Your heart will thank you)
Always forgive. (If you don't it will kill you)
Take vitamins, herbs, whatever you need to nurse your current human condition of decay.
Let your body and the Lord heal your illnesses. If sick, go to the doctor, and follow his advice, but realize it's the LORD who heals. Don't assume the worst.
Do things. Go places. Make stuff. Dream.
 
Honor your parents, that your days may be long in the land...

A little wisdom, but no guarantees. Very good track record though.

Why not see for yourself?
