Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends; mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it"s a stress buster. Think "move" in small increments of time. It doesn"t have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that"s great when you"re up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day. Cha, Cha, Cha...Then do it!

Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise (蛋黄酱), margarine (人造黄油), butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine... Then be one!

Count to ten before losing your temper or getting angry. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day. When seeing red, think pink clouds..., then float on them.

If you can"t live in a smog-flee environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes and exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog-rating is low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good. Plant lots of shrubbery in your yard. It"s a good deterrent for pollution and dirt from the street. Thought for the day. Smoke gets in your eyes..., and your mouth, and your nose and your lungs as do pollutants.
