10 Secrets of Super Healthy People


We all know them, those people who never seem to get struck down by the latest flu bug or fevers or even an occasional head cold. How do they do that? Following are 10 surprising habits of super healthy people:

1. They stress less. Duh! But what if you are typically a hot mess of stress? Exercise is the best way to combat stress, so get moving!

2. They sprinkle brewer's yeast on their food. This is because brewer's yeast is high in the B vitamins. A great brand to try is Bragg's Nutritional Yeast. Sprinkle it on popcorn, in soups, even put it in bread or cookie batter.

3. They eat less. None of us would die of starvation if we passed on seconds. In fact, research proves it may help us lower incidences of age related health problems, such as Alzheimer's and diabetes.

4. They embrace bacteria. Put down the antibacterial wipes and sprays once in a while. We've become too clean for our own good.

5. They opt for herbal remedies. A great herbal thing to do is drink green tea, which have polyphenols and the potential to burn fat, boost metabolism, protect against liver disease, control blood sugar levels, and lower bad LDL cholesterol. I'm sold.

6. They make friends a priority. I keep telling my husband it's a GOOD thing I so often meet my girlfriends for lunch or dinner or coffee!

7. They stay pH balanced. In our society, we are too acidic with all our meat and sugar. Most vegetables are alkalizing. Eat some and balance yourself.

8. They eat garlic. Not the supplement kind. The real thing is best for the most medicinal value.

9. They detox regularly. Always check with a doctor before doing a detox diet. A great one is Joy Bauer's simple detox diet. And if I had a link I would post it here, but since I don't, there's google.

10. They take more naps. Say no more - I can easily do that!
