• Take a walk after each meal to help digestion and burn calories.
• Take the stairs when possible. This raises your heart rate, improves circulation, provides a spurt of hormones.
• Get off the bus or taxi one or two blocks before your destination. This gives you a little sunshine and fresh air.
• Exercise 30 to 40 minutes, three to four times a week using a combination of aerobic, strengthening and flexbility activities.
• Exercise your brain. Do puzzles, play board games that make you think, read, dance and participate in hobbies. The most important muscle in the body is the one that directs the show, the one that is between your ears.
• It's never too late to begin.
