The Boston Globe asked two health experts, a physician and a sports nutritionist, for five easy things we can do every day to stay healthy in 2008.
From Dr. Nancy Norman, medical director of the Boston Public Health Commission, we hear this:
1. Drink water
2. Sleep eight hours a night
3. Minimize sugar and caffeine
4. Consider acupuncture and massage as valid therapies
5. If you smoke, quit
From Nancy Clark, a registered dietitian, author, and sports nutritionist, we hear this:
1. Don’t focus on dieting, focus on eating
2. Budget your food as you do your money
3. Eat three different foods at every meal
4. Understand that eating will not solve emotional problems
5. Don’t drink too many calories
