1.
Be Hygienic. Wash your hands thoroughly after
coming into contact with a sick person, using the bathroom, or anything else
that could make you sick. (If you’re not sure what “thoroughly” entails, sing Happy
Birthday to you in your head as you scrub.) In addition to flossing
regularly, brush your teeth and tongue
at least twice daily to limit plaque and harmful bacteria.

2.
Make little lifestyle changes.
Don’t tire yourself out by making large gestures
toward health without addressing the small stuff. Instead of running yourself
ragged at the gym three days a week, park farther away from the store, walk the
dog more often, take the stairs instead of the elevator, or weed your garden;
instead of attacking your veggies and dip distractedly in front of the computer
or TV, set time aside to slowly enjoy each meal and prevent mindless
overeating. Get your new habits to stick by tackling them at the grass-roots
level.

3.
Remember to do
everything in moderation – including moderation. Turning each aspect of your life into something you need to
check off a list can not only make you feel trapped, but also make you more
likely fall (or possibly even throw yourself) off the wagon. Allowing yourself
the occasional indulgence to blow off steam will make you much more satisfied
with your new lifestyle choices.
4. Know
that friends play an important role. Many studies show that people with a
wide range of social contacts get sick less than those who don't. Friends make
you laugh, and laughing is also an important part of health.
