Eat less processed food. Not only proven beyond question to be healthier its actually a lot cheaper at the checkout and in doctors bills.

Yes, diet important.

Not worrying about your health is even more important.

[Triple Jim]

Showers and processed food are in the noise compared to regular aerobic exercise.

The knowledge of using cold water has mostly been lost in the west. Too bad. It is one of the best kept secrets for feeling totally alive and radiant. It is only in developed countries where we have the luxury of hot water that people have forgotten how to take cold baths.

Then emerge yourself in a very cold stream, the faster the stream, the better.

Whole body Cryotherapy.

$90 for a few minutes.

Whole body cryotherapy (WBC) is an alternative to cold water immersion or ice packs.[2] This treatment involves exposing individuals to extremely cold dry air (below -100 °C) for two to four minutes. To achieve the subzero temperatures required for WBC, two methods are typically used: liquid nitrogen and refrigerated cold air. During these exposures, individuals wear minimal clothing, which usually consists of shorts for males and shorts and a crop top for females. Gloves, a woollen headband covering the ears, and a nose and mouth mask, in addition to dry shoes and socks, are commonly worn to reduce the risk of cold-related injury. The first WBC chamber was built in Japan in the late 1970s, but WBC was not introduced to Europe until the 1980s, and has only been used in the USA and Australia in the past decade.[2]

Whole body cryotherapy was initially intended for use in a clinical setting to treat patients with conditions such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, and although WBC is provided in over 50 European hospitals and medical clinics, it has now been implemented in many spas, and athletic training facilities as well;[7][8] Elite athletes have recently reported using the treatment to alleviate delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after exercise.[9][10][11][12] Recently, recreational athletes have started to emulate elite athletes in using these treatments after exercise. Reductions in muscle[13] and skin[13][14] tissue temperature after WBC exposure may stimulate cutaneous receptors and excite the sympathetic adrenergic fibres, causing constriction of local arterioles and venules.[13][15] Consequently, WBC may be effective in relieving soreness, or muscle pain, through reduced muscle metabolism, skin microcirculation, receptor sensitivity and nerve conduction velocity.[2] Interestingly, a paradoxical increase in rectal temperature, followed by a slight decline, has been reported following exposure to the treatment.[13] There is also a body of evidence to suggest that WBC stimulates the autonomic nervous system (ANS), with a predominance of parasympathetic tone activation, after exposure.[16]

Walk.

Walk.

Feet went to hell 2.5 years ago (over use). Just went off pain meds two weeks ago thanks to the practice of cold water immersion.

[Cam3512]

Sleep.

I jog, lift and row 3 times a week in the gym.  Usually worn after an hour.

 Have passion for something ,keep busy, use moderation with food to keep weight down, and sexual activity of any kind...

[Sasquatch Jim]

 During the years I spent in Astoria and across the river, I went to the Fin steam bath a lot.  After steaming to about the color of a lobster, I poured buckets of very cold water over my head YEAH!


goddam auto correct! The guy that invented it should be impaled Vlad style.

[slowmover]

 Get hooked on green tea. 3 to 5 cups a day. Flavor it , blend it, whatever, but drink it.

"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

That, more or less, is the short answer to the supposedly incredibly complicated and confusing question of what we humans should eat in order to be maximally healthy." - Michael Pollan

By food, Pollan means food that your great-grandmother would recognize as food.

Walk 10,000 steps a day and do some exercises for your large muscles.

Drink 2 or fewer alcoholic drinks a day.  Avoid hard drugs.  Drink as much black coffee as you want.

Avoid the rat race.

Focus on family and other important relationships.

Figure out how to be kind to yourself and others.

[Triple Jim]

Nic, judging by your avatar photo, it's working well for you.

[JeffOlson]

Let's see, exercise, eat less and better, and exercise some more. Or, drink and smoke and eat ice cream while watching TV... Hmmm. I think I'm going to get myself bowl of ice cream. (I'm all out of Scotch and cigars!)

Getting out of bed in the morning. If you can't do that you be able to do crap the rest of the day.

Ha!  Yeah, it's Keith Richards circa 1974.  Poster child for healthy living...??

[Gliderjohn]

Well...whatever Keith is doing it appears to be working for him. Not sure that he may not actually be some sort of alien from a galaxy far, far away.
