Dr. Oz, calls them 7 deadly sins, that are shaving years OFF your life.
Here's what they are and I've added some of my personal experience and expertise.
1. Skipping Stretching. This was a pleasant surprise to me, but not at all a shocker. I often start my day with about 10 minutes of meditative breathing (no - hitting the snooze button and snoozing doesn't count) I tend to be one to bound out of bed, once I finally roll out of it. But stretching first thing in the morning gets your blood flowing, your muscles prepared, and releases fluid into your perhaps stiff joints. Its the perfect start to your day, add some deep breathing exercises, your mind will quiet and prepare for your busy day.
2. Skipping Breakfast. This too is right up on my first things first list. Remember that your body has been fasting all night and he calls it "senses famine" meaning that your body will store fat and anything else it may have, when it feels like it won't be re-nourished. In the very least he says have a pure fruit smoothie. And don't forget to hand a fruit to that "slept-in" teen or kids of yours.
3. Being 10 minutes late for an appointment. This is always stressful, and stress is an internal killer! Be 5 minutes early and save yourself the stress. He had a model of a "stress" heart, it was hard and flabby. Your heart is a pliable, muscle, be kind to it and strengthen it.
4. Take a guess: its 3pm which is worse, a trip to the vending machine or sitting angrily at your desk? If you guess the vending machine you are right. I particularly liked the example he used as he displayed the digestive system. Chances are this trip will be one for junk food. If you have already eaten poorly by this time your digestive system is already being overworked along with your liver trying to detoxify you. He showed what looked like a sewage back up in your digestive organs, causing some serious belly bloating.
5. Its now 6pm and you're relaxing on the couch watching TV....yes deadly! Here you should be doing at least 30 minutes of exercise to keep your metabolism revved up.
6. Ignoring phone calls from your friends. Yes take that call, or write a short email, stay connected it can really be a lifeline. People are most happy when they are sociable.
7. Forgetting to plan bedtime. Yes, so good ole' mom was right all long when she made us go to bed at a certain every night. Try to keep the same routine even on the weekends. Plan to get yourself adequate rest, this when the body does most of its recovering and regrowth - besides you deserve it!
He said if you fall prey to these deadly sins you could be taking 10 years off your life!!
Personally I think it would make you FEEL 10 years younger - hey - that brings me back to my roaring 20's again!!

"Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: A desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill."
