HEALTHY PEOPLE ALWAYS LOOK GOOD... DIETERS ALWAYS LOOK HUNGRY
DIRTY DOZEN ! (Thanks to : Pastor Larry Owens)

2. EAT THE PROPER VARIETY + VALUE + VOLUME OF FOOD
3. KNOW YOUR BLOOD... HAVE REGULAR BLOOD PROFILES DONE
4. INCREASE YOUR “HDL” CHOLESTEROL... HIGHER IS BETTER
5. TAKE A BRISK WALK FOR 30 MINUTES DAILY... CAN REDUCE RISK OF STROKE & HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
6. KNOW YOUR MEDICATIONS... TAKE NO MEDICATION WITHOUT PROFESSIONAL RECOMMENDATION... PERIOD
7. BE A WISE SHOPPER... STOP BUYING HARMFUL FOOD
8. QUIT SMOKING NOW... BENEFITS BEGIN IMMEDIATELY
9. GIVE UP SOME THINGS... WHICH CONTRIBUTE NOTHING TO YOUR HEALTH... BUT PLENTY TO YOUR HEALTH PROBLEMS
