Here is Pt. 2 of Dr. Oz’s article in USA Weekend “16 Healthy Tips For Feeling Better In 2010″

9. Skip a shampoo. Dr. Oz says give your scalp a break and leave the shampooing alone. It should not be done every day. He suggests you rinse with water every other day unless your job is being a mechanic lol

10. Stop rushing to work.If you are not early, you are late, and you lose your feeling of control. Starting this year, arrive early at every appointment. You’ll regain control of the agenda and feel less disheveled and more confident.  And because you’ll be getting up a bit earlier, add yoga or meditating to your routine. (Read your bible)

11. Get your ZZZs.Your ability to sleep is a barometer of how well you are coping with life. In the long term, inadequate sleep increase the chance of heart disease and diabetes, and in the short term, it can lead to accidents and interfere with work performance.  Try to get at least 7.5hrs of sleep every night.

12. Pump some iron. Building muscle is an investment that pays off all day long: muscles burns significantly more calories than fat, and the difference is still great even when we are at rest.

13. Brush and floss daily. Inflammation causes more health problems than you’d imagine. In fact, your body becomes dangerous when it is inflamed. Gingivitis is a leading cause of immune civil war that stimulates inflammation, a major cause of heart attacks.

14. Kick up your feet. After a long of running around soak your feet in a tub of hot water with Epsom salts. The magnesium helps to relax sore muscles.

15. Help someone else.For life to be truly fulfilling, it has to be about more than ourselves. If you’ve picked up something- an activity, a hobby, maybe a philosophy- that has improved your life, then share it with others. Dedicate at least a few hours every week to helping those who need it.

16. Be fearless. The new year allows you to challenge the invisible assumptions that can stall progress and meaningful change in your life. You can’t appreciate the limitations of your current life until you have challenged and moved past them. per persistent and keep going. There’s no better time than now.

Ladies (and gents) let us get going now! This is perfect time to start.

In USA Weekly, Dr. Oz (Oprah’s health guru) has given great advice on how to feel better in 2010. He has outlined 16 things that we need to start doing now. The year just started so let us get motivated and get going!

1. Don’t skip meals- let the meals you eat be healthy and filling so you can get the proper nutrients and feel satisfied longer.

2. Ditch extreme diets. People almost always fail to lose weight because they try diets that are too radical to stick with. For a lifestyle change to succeed, it must be sustainable.

3. Savor every bite.Dr. Oz says, so many of us agonize over what to eat, then don’t spend any time actually enjoying our meal. Do not eat infront of the TV or computer. Have a leisurely chat, and chew at least 20 times before swallowing. Not only will you savor and appreciate each bite, but you’ll also eat a lot less.

4. Become a pill popper. Nooooo not ecstasy or illegal prescription drugs but vitamins. Dr. Oz says Vitamin D and Omega-3 fats are crucial. We need to take 1,000 IU of vitamin D daily to decrease our risk of vitamin deficiency, heart disease, multiple sclerosis and immune disorders. Omega-3 fats are crucial for our brain. We need 400mg daily. One option is to take a tablespoon of lemon-flavored cod liver oil every morning before you brush your teeth.

5. Throw out your scale.Dr. Oz says as a nation, we are obsessed with weight. But our waist circumference is actually a more informative measurement than the number of pounds on the scale.  The size of your waist indicates how much dangerous “omental” fat you have-that’s the fatty layer of tissue beneath your belly muscles that pumps inflammatory chemicals throughout your body driving up blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar.

6. Eat well, then eat what you like. Check nutrition labels and make sure you follow the recommended daily servings, then you can have what you like (almost…don’t get carried away).

7. Go for a walk. Get a pedometer and stick it in your pocket. If, by the end of the day, the number of steps is under 10,000 walk around the block until you reach that goal. Walking strengthens your core muscles, promotes endurance and blasts fat.

8. Take control of your health.Chronic disease afflict hundreds of millions, but staggering numbers of people are completely unaware that they’re even affected.  See your doctor about screening for heart disease, high cholesterol and diabetes, no matter how old you are.
