You don't have to follow a punishing diet or spend hours on the treadmill. The path to a healthier way of life may be easier than you think.
Eat more curry. Only recently have experts come to appreciate the health benefits of eating curries. Not only do curries protect against Alzheimer's, stress and depression, but they can also help you lose weight. Apparently, meals containing chillies burn up more calories than other meals.
Get a hobby. Having a hobby can ease depression, lower levels of stress, improve mood and immune systems and may reduce the risk of high blood pressure. According to research at Maastricht University, men who have hobbies are less likely to be sick and absent from work than men who don't.
Drink more coffee. Not until recently has the world's most widely used stimulant been considered good for you. It can lower the risk of diabetes, relax muscles and improve speed of thought. According to research done at Harvard University, women who drink coffee may reduce the risk of having a heart attack by up to 30%. The research was carried out on 32,000 women over six years. Drinking six or more cups a day also reduces the risk of diabetes by 54% for men and 30% for women.
Eat dark chocolate. Although dark chocolate was once thought to be unhealthy, with its high levels of cocoa beans it is now believed to be good for you in moderation, with research showing it can reduce blood pressure and bad cholesterol. According to research at Harvard University, flavonoids in dark chocolate reduce the risk of dying from heart disease by 20%.
Laugh a lot. Laughing reduces pain and diabetes symptoms and also improves the immune system. Researchers have calculated that laughter burns up calories at the rate of 2.31 a minute. An average day's laughter gets rid of all the calories in a pepperoni pizza.
Drink tea. Tea, both black and green, has been associated with a wide range of health benefits, from helping to prevent heart disease and flu, to hair growth and weight loss. A King's college study says that three or more cups a day reduce the risk of heart attack, and there is some evidence that it can improve mental performance.
Get a pet. Laughter is linked to good health and research shows that dog owners have the most giggles during the day. Pet dogs can lower heart rate and reduce stress, but having a cat reduces the risk of a child developing eczema and hay fever. Researchers at Rakuno Gakuen University in Japan calculate that 30-minute walks with a dog are 87% more effective for heart health than going for walks on your own.
Chew gum. Not only is chewing gum good for oral health, especially sugar-free gum, but research at Glasgow Caledonian University shows that people who chew gum eat fewer snacks and 10% fewer calories. It's also good for face muscles and high blood pressure and diabetes. And according to a report published by the University of Michigan, chewing gum may prevent tooth decay.
Eat fish. Very rarely you do hear anything negative about eating fish. That's because according to more than 10,000 pieces of research, fish and its oils can protect you from or treat just about everything, from bad backs to asthma. It can also contribute to healthy brain cells and good eyesight. A study from Harvard university shows that women who eat plenty of sardines, tuna and salmon during pregnancy may have cleverer children. However, beware of mercury in tuna and sardines.
Take up singing. Choral singing increases immunity, reduces depression, improves cognitive function and mood, and increases feelings of well-being. Work carried out at Sydney University and the University of Frankfurt shows singing helps people cope better with chronic pain, lowers stress levels and boosts the immune system.
Close relationship. Seldom do people associate having close relationship with being healthy. However, having a person you love can extend your life, reduce the risk of heart disease, and catching colds, and can lower blood pressure. A study by the University of Tampere, Finland, shows that men in a relationship are 70% more likely to live longer than single men.
