We all want to stay in the best shape of our lives so we can live longer to see our grand kids grow up.  In order to live this dream, we need to focus on the things that we can do to make this dream happen.  Here is a simple list of activities that we can perform to increase our longevity.

No.1 – Play a sport

The best exercise is fun exercise, sopick a sport and join a local team. Playing sports will get you fit, and, more importantly, will keep you motivated to stay fit. Softball, basketball, soccer, rugby, and Frisbee football are all good options. The key is finding something that you enjoy and then striking a balance between fun and competitiveness. Too much competitiveness can lead to conflict, injury or worse. On the other hand, have too much fun and you might not feel like it’s even worth playing. Finding the right mix between  “fun” and “fight” will keep you in the game. Playing a sport will also help you forge friendships that could last a lifetime.

No.2 – Do push-ups

Almost nothing can beat the push-up: they’re simple, they’re effective and they’re free; you can drop and push out a dozen of them in less than a minute, and they work your chest, shoulders, triceps, abs, and legs. Push-ups are one of the best strength-building exercises ever devised. Keep your body straight like a plank, drop down and then push up. Try to work a set of 10 to 20 push-ups into your daily routine. By adopting this simple habit, you’ll build upper body strength and stamina in a matter of weeks.

No.3 – Walk

This one is easy — take a break and take a walk. A 30-minute walk six days a week has been shown to have profound health benefits. A study by Duke University found that walking can decrease hypertension, lower bad cholesterol levels and help you lose weight. The study also found that people who took a leisurely stroll after dinner gained almost all the same health benefits as those who jogged six days a week. Add a quick walk into your daily routine and you’ll see great results.

No.4 – Eat nuts

Drop the chips and pick up some almonds or walnuts instead — both nuts have been shown to lower cholesterol. A 2002 study published in the journal Circulation found that people who ate two handfuls of almonds a day lowered their bad cholesterol (LDL) by 9.4%. Walnuts performed  even better, with a handful of the nuts slashing LDL by about 10%. Walnuts aren’t just good for your cardiovascular system: Malaysian researchers found that a compound in walnuts can, in significant doses, have similar effects to Viagra. Of course, you’d have to eat a few pounds of walnuts to get such a powerful effect, but small amounts could give you a little oomph.

No.5 – Eat clean

When Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, advises readers to “eat food,” he means stick to stuff that’s easily recognizable as food. Steer clear of anything that looks like it was made in a lab or a factory. This means no day-glow cheezy poofs, sanguine Red Vines or TV dinners. All that crap is typically loaded with extra calories (that make you fat) and questionable chemical compounds (that could do much worse). Stick to fresh fruits and veggies (or frozen if it’s the off-season) and fresh meats from the butcher. Don’t worry — cheese is food, whipped cream is food and apple pie is food (even if they are all man-made). The list of real food goodies goes on and on — just don’t overdo it. Eat mostly vegetables, a little meat and just enough to satisfy your appetite without getting grossly stuffed.

No.6 – Audit your diet

In 2009, take a good look at what you eat; chances are you’re missing a lot of what goes into your mouth. It’s easy to overlook that “fun size” candy bar you had after lunch or those extra Oreos you ate during the movie. It’s also easy to overestimate the amount of fruits and vegetables you eat. Get a notepad and write down what you eat for a week. Just knowing what you throw down your gullet can inspire you to eat healthier, and if it doesn’t, you’ll have a good starting point for planning a revamp of your diet.

No.7 – Read

If you don’t use your muscles, they’ll atrophy. This same principle goes for your brain — neglect it and it’ll shrivel up like a prune. Luckily, there’s one easy, enjoyable thing you can do to keep your neurons pumping iron: read. Neuroscientists at UCLA recently stuck a few dozen middle-aged volunteers into an MRI machine to watch how their brains responded to reading. The scans showed that reading triggered significant activity in the language, memory and visual centers of the brain. In fact, when the test subjects surfed the internet for specific info, their centers for complex reasoning and decision-making lit up.

No.8 – Sleep more

You don’t need a doctor to tell you what sleep deprivation does; miss a few hours of sleep and not only will you be caught in a fog of fatigue, but simple thoughts can also seem complex, and you often can’t remember a thing. A 2007 study published in the medical journal Hypertension found that people who sleep an average of six hours a night have a 42% higher chance of developing hypertension than those who get seven. Sleep deprivation has also been linked to stress, depression, immune-system suppression, and obesity. Go to bed at the same time every night. Turn off the TV, computer or anything that shines bright light in your face at least an hour before bed — getting a few more winks can save your life.

No.9 – Stress less

Even if  you can manage to keep up with the first resolution, sometimes even a good old roll in the hay isn’t enough to melt away your stress — and stress can be a killer. Chronic stress can lead to hypertension, a weakened immune system and even a shortened lifespan. Do your best to drop your stress. For example, enroll in a meditation class. Mindfulness meditation can give you the tools to deal with everyday challenges without letting them get you stressed. Many HMOs even offer mindfulness meditation classes for free, so check with your health care provider.

No.10 – Make Love More

Now this is a resolution you can really live with. Having more sex can do wonders for your health, including lowering blood pressure and even extending your lifespan. Queens University in Belfast tracked the health of 1,000 middle-aged individuals over the course of a decade. They found that guys who got lucky a few times a week had about half the death rate of guys who got less action. Later, they also found a direct correlation between frequent sex and a reduced risk of heart disease. That’s not all, though — Wilkes University in Pennsylvania found that people who have sex once or twice a week get sick less often.

Top Ten Appetite Suppressants
Here is a short list of ten items that you should know if you are interested in controlling your hunger.

No.1 – Almonds

Finally, almonds are another great source of healthy fats and make for a great snack between meals — provided you watch portion sizes. Note that the hunger-reducing effects of nuts tend to take about half an hour before you feel them, so eat them before you reach the point of being extremely hungry or you’ll be tempted to eat more than just the nuts.
No.2 – Salmon

Salmon works well to reduce your appetite due to the healthy fat it contains. Protein-rich foods are the most satiating nutrient upon being eaten, but fat is what has staying power to keep you feeling satisfied in the hours to come. By eating salmon, you’ll get the best of both worlds.
No.3 – Oatmeal

Starting your day off with unsweetened oatmeal is a great way to prevent hunger later on in the morning. Oatmeal contains more dietary fiber than most cereal and is very low in sugars, meaning it’s not going to leave you with a blood-sugar crash. Add some cinnamon, unsweetened applesauce or a touch of sugar-free maple syrup for added flavor.
No.4 – Wasabi

Consuming spicy foods also helps to suppress the appetite. So next time you’re having sushi or fish try adding some wasabi to it to really tame your appetite. In addition to hunger suppression, wasabi has also been known to help protect against cancer and provide anti-inflammatory effects.
No.5 – Chicken & vegetable soup

Starting your meal off with soup is another way to reduce your appetite. Hot liquids in general tend to take the edge off hunger and since there are so few calories per cup, you can eat a good volume to fill your stomach. Chicken and vegetable soup is your best bet since the small amount of protein in the chicken will curb your hunger longer, while the vegetables and fluid will instantly fill you up.
No.6 – Hoodia

Hoodia is a supplement that many people believe helps them control their hunger. Hoodia originated from Africa and was primarily used by hunters when they went out on hunting expeditions to prevent hunger pains from shortening their trip. Be aware, however, that it can take a few days to exert its affects; if you don’t feel anything at first, wait it out before making judgments.
No.7 – Water

Staying well hydrated is another very important thing you must do if you hope to prevent hunger. Not only do we often mistake hunger for thirst, but when we are dehydrated we are more apt to feel tired, causing us to attribute this fatigue for a food shortage. If you truly are tired and lacking sleep, keep in mind that your brain will release a hormone telling your body that you’re hungry when, in fact, you are not.
No.8 – Caffeine

Caffeine is a daily part of most of our lives, yet many of us don’t realize the appetite-suppressing properties that caffeine has. This stimulant is most noted for its energizing effect along with its ability to help keep you awake during that mid-morning meeting. When taken in moderate doses, however, as the central nervous system is stimulated, you’ll also tend to experience a decreased appetite.
No.9 – Flaxseeds

Flaxseeds are becoming a more popular way of getting in your essential fatty acids, but they also offer a good dose of soluble fiber to your diet. Sprinkle these little appetite suppressants into your yogurt or cottage cheese and you’ll provide your body with some slow-digesting fats to go along with the protein that’s already very satisfying.
No.10 – Apples

We have a sentence that: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” and now apples may do more than just that. One large apple supplies approximately 5 grams of fiber, which fills the stomach up for a longer period of time. Additionally, its sugar doesn’r affect our body.

Was it the the carelessness of Jackson’s doctor that causes his death? Michael Jackson’s personal doctor gave him a powerful anesthetic to help him sleep, and authorities believe the drug killed the pop singer, a law enforcement official said on Monday.  The official said Jackson regularly received propofol to sleep, relying on the drug like an alarm clock. A doctor would administer it when he went to sleep, then stop the intravenous drip when he wanted to wake up.

Though toxicology reports are pending, investigators are working under the theory propofol caused Jackson’s heart to stop, the official said. Jackson is believed to have been using the drug for about two years and investigators are trying to determine how many other doctors administered it, the official said.

Michael Jackson’s doctor, Murray, 51, has been identified in court papers as the subject of a manslaughter investigation and authorities last week raided his office and a storage unit in Houston.  Propofol can depress breathing and lower heart rates and blood pressure. Because of the risks, propofol is only supposed to be administered in medical settings by trained personnel.
