"I try to work out in the morning before work because there are too many excuses that I can use to avoid it after work. If I do it first thing in the morning I know that I'll fit it in for the day and not come home after a long day of work and feel too tired to go. Plus, it's not looming over my head all day if I get it out of the way. Instead, I feel good about myself because I got up early and got it in. Also, I can make plans after work without feeling guilty for bailing on the workout."

From women in Mexico:
"Every morning, even before my cup of tea, I eat a spoonful of honey straight out of the pot like a bear! It is a natural antibiotic and great preventative of all ailments great and small yet doesn't taste like medicine. I was once told if I did this I would never get ill. I don’t know if it is psychological but at worst I might have a cold for three days of the year."

"Avoid the sun and always, always use sunscreen! Embrace eating foods with healthy fats, such as nuts, avocados and olive oil. Avoid meats if at all possible. I opt for fish over meat."

From a woman in South Africa:
"BREATHE... If the thought of meditation leaves you frazzled and wondering where to begin, try to observe babies breathing. Take deep breaths in, extending the rib cage and tummy and exhaling with your focus on flattening your tummy. Work today is often demanding and stress levels soar...do 10 repetitions of this focused breath before going to bed, or when you get home from work, and you should feel a bit better. Also, remember to drink loads of water. These two elements are imperative to our existence and yet we don't give them their due."
