As we bid farewell to the old year and welcome 2011, let us reflect on what we've learned and how we have grown. Perhaps we may examine the steps we've taken to improve our health and well being. Many of us like to make New Year's resolutions, making countless promises to ourselves that are not always easy to follow through with. Rome wasn't built in a day, so for year 2011, let's start by making one small step at a time that will eventually lead to monumental results!
For a more formalized longevity program, check out my new book Secrets of Longevity 8-Week Program, which will transform your health and lengthen your years.
Also, you can find many more simple tips for living a long, healthy life in "Secrets of Longevity: Hundreds of Ways to Live to Be 100," now available on Kindle.
May you live long, live strong, and live happy in year 2011!

-do something you enjoy that doesn't involve going to the gym...(gyms are boring and make can turn exercising into a chore) some examples are rock climbing, dance classes, yoga or a martial art
-go for nature walks
-turn everyday activities like biking up to the grocery store/book store/coffee shop in stead of driving
-do some gardening
-incorporate with another activity like nature photography
There's TON's of things you can do just be creative!
There should be a course near you. Check out my web site that promotes the sport http://www.jumputt.com or the Disc Golf official web site http://www.pdga.com
If I don't feel like doing it, I just do a shorter and slower walk, but I don't give myself the time off unless I'm sick.

I use a great iPad Diet APP that also logs my exercise. Most American doctors think exercise has to be running or sweaty work outs. That kind of exercise is for the young, the single and IMPOSSIBLE if you are a parent and/or have to do 2 jobs to pay for all the bills and education of your kids.
Did you know that working at the computer burns over 100 Calories hourly? Did you know that House Cleaning: dusting your apartment, light cleaning of floors and surfaces burns up around 191 calories an hour?
Tthe British Medical Association has in the past found that dragging a vacuum cleaner up and down one story home is actual exercise worthy of a Sports Club.
You burn 1550 calories just staying in bed for the whole day and doing nothing;)
Shopping, reading a book, jumping up from you easy recliner while watching football on Cable, ALL burns up calories.
I mention this because the exercise part is written by and for A type individuals who insist you must run, go to an expensive sports club. YES YOU NEED to sweat for the heart: carry your own groceries home. Cleaning can be hard work. WE NEED to move!
The trick is also NOT eating TOO much. Active mind? No need to learn French or Chess, try predicting the end of a movie or book. Smiling burns calories! An active MIND leads to an Active LIFE.
Enjoy!
Animals of all types store toxins in their fat cells until the liver or kidneys can flush them from the system. When we eat animals fats from CAFO raised animals, we know that they already have excess toxins and weight gaining chemicals in fat. Even fatty fish store their toxins like mercury in fat cells.
The body is amazingly resilient. If we give the kidneys and liver the opportunity/time , it can flush most bad chemicals and even begin the process of re-balancing our hormones. The listed suggestion to consume fewer calories at a meal is critical. This is especially true for the dinner meal after 5:00 PM.
I would even suggest that we experiment with a liquid fast for a 24 hour period about once a week. Drink plenty of fresh water as suggested but also allow your body to experience raw vegetable and fruit juices of all types. I can often go several hours with just fresh apple juice, a small slice of ginger, and great beet juice in small amounts. The beet juice does wonders for aiding your kidneys and liver with their work.
