1. Get regular aerobic exercise. 2. Maintain a healthy weight. 3. Include lots of omega-3 fatty acids in your diet (fish is the best source). 4. Have an occasional drink if you’re so inclined (alcohol in moderation raises HDL). 5. If you smoke, quit. Do all this things and you will live a healthy life without chronic diseases. Believe me!

What Causes It Sun exposure, smoking, genetics, aging, skimping on produce and “good” fats, eating a diet high in saturated fat and refined carbohydrates, and other factors all conspire to erode collagen and elastin, the fibers that keep skin smooth, flexible, and firm. When dermatologists checked the skin and diets of 453 people from Australia, Greece, and Sweden, they found that while a healthy diet can’t erase damage done by years of unprotected sunbathing or smoking, it can help. Here’s what to eat and what to avoid.

In the year 2000, the United Nations estimated that there were more than 180,000 people over the age of 100 throughout the world, a figure that will jump to 3.2 million by the year 2050. Centenarians make up the fastest-growing section of the population in developed countries. In Australia, for example, nearly 3,000 people were over the age of 100 in 2009 and this number is predicted to explode to 78,000 by 2055. If you are a 55-year-old Australian reading this today, you have a 10 percent chance of living to 101 if you’re a man and of reaching 103 if you’re a woman. For babies born today the odds are even better – 18.1 percent for boys and 23.5 percent for girls. So, what’s the secret? If only we knew. Despite dozens of studies on centenarians, there doesn’t seem to be a typical life pattern or history shared by these long-lived people. Still, researchers say that they have found some similarities. People who live to 100 and beyond tend to: 1. Complain less about pain and discomfort t...

According to financial expert, Stacy Johnson of MoneyTalksNews.com , if you want to retire rich, you only need to do three things. The first is to keep debt to an absolute minimum, because paying interest simply increases the cost of whatever you’re financing. The second thing you need to do is to live below your means: to always spend less than you make and set money aside. Less often discussed but just as important, however, is the third thing you’ll need to become financially independent: knowledge about investing. Because while cutting up your credit cards and skipping $4 lattes is smart, how you invest those savings can determine success or failure in reaching your goals. Let’s say you’re determined to save extra money by reading stories like 28 Ways to Save on Food or 18 Ways to Dress for Less and as a result of all this sage advice, you find yourself with an extra 10 bucks a day, or $300 a month. If you have any sense, the first thing you’ll do is use that new-found money to ...

1. Food. Global wheat prices more than doubled from June 2010 to January 2011, the World Bank says, while corn and sugar prices rose 73%. According to walletpop.com , increased demand from newly affluent countries like China and decreased supply due to drought, flooding and other weather-related factors are the reason, as is government sponsorship of ethanol, made from corn. And when corn prices take off, so does the price of meat, since that’s what feeds most of the world’s cattle. In other words, expect to pay more at the supermarket for everything from cereal to soda to steak. 2. Clothing . With cotton prices up 80% since last year, look for companies like underwear manufacturer Hanesbrands to pass along an increase of 10% to the consumer, reports The Wall Street Journal . On some items, Hanes may hike prices three times before year’s end, predicts the New York Daily News . And polyester prices are also on the upswing: With the cost of oil climbing (see below), so is the fiber mad...

Swallow something sour. 3. Have some peanut butter. 4. Sip some hot sauce. 5. Enjoy a little honey. 6. Eat some powdered chocolate drink mix. 7. Breathe slowly and deeply into small paper bag. To increase oxygen demands. 8. Chew up some dill. 9. Place a single layer of paper towel over the top of a glass, then drink through the towel. You'll have to "pull" harder with your diaphragm to suck up the water, and concentrated gulping counteracts spasmodic muscle movements.

© ISTOCKPHOTO/THINKSTOCK That innocent-looking can of soda pop-no matter what it’s sweetened with-may be taking a toll on your immunity. Here’s why: 1. People who drink sodas instead of healthy beverages (think low-fat milk and pure fruit juice) are less likely to get adequate vitamin A, calcium, and magnesium. What’s more, soda contains phosphoric acid that depletes calcium and magnesium. These two nutrients help keep your immunity operating at peak efficiency. 2. Sodas containing high-fructose corn syrup also contain high levels of free radicals linked to tissue damage, the development of diabetes, and diabetic complications. 3. Plastic soda (and water) bottles contain a toxic chemical called bisphenol A (BPA) that can leach from bottles into soda…into you. Emerging evidence links BPA to a myriad of maladies, including immune system depression. Public health experts recommend that we protect children from exposure to products containing BPA-especially those they consume or use every ...
