10 Habits For Healthy Living
What's the secret to healthy living? "It's no secret," says Mark Stafford, M.D., UAB associate professor of internal medicine and author of Maximal Living, a weekly online health column. "Based on 20 years of caring for patients, I've observed that people who achieve and enjoy life the most share 10 simple habits: eat a balanced diet; exercise regularly; maintain a healthy body weight; sleep at least seven hours a night; do things in moderation, avoiding extremes; don't take life too seriously; have at least one close, personal friend; have a healthy, loving relationship with a higher power; resolve conflicts quickly; and live in the moment, celebrating life." Maximal Living is accessible online at www.health.uab.edu.
