Ten Steps to Feel Happier

Find out what makes you happy so you can keep it going.

Find Your Happy Place 
Are you happy? It's such an important question because happiness has such a huge impact on your health, from your arteries to your heart, from the glow in your skin to the pep in your step. Happy feelings influence your brain and body chemistry in ways that make you better able to cope with pain and stress and to fend off colds, flu, heart disease, and even cancer. Follow these steps to help make yourself happier, day in and day out and your RealAge up to 5.2 years younger! 
Believe in Yourself 
Finding true happiness requires taking a good hard look at yourself. The goal is to identify any off-the-wall beliefs about your self-worth and adjust them. When you're at ease with yourself and open to others, friendships seem to blossom naturally. Just acknowledging secret self-doubts may help you develop enough humor and compassion toward yourself to reach out to others, who, underneath, are probably just like you: sometimes unsure and shy. 
Hang Out with Happy Friends 
Having someone in your immediate social circle who is upbeat ups your chances of happiness by 15%. Why? It seems happy people have the power to spread their feel-good vibes far and wide the same way a ripple spreads through a pond. Not only do immediate friends matter, but friends of friends, too. So make plans to have lunch with a friend or go for a walk together. It could have far-reaching benefits for your mental health. 
Make Time for Play 
Swap your endless to-do list for some spontaneous playtime. It packs big benefits for your health, mood, mind, job, and even your relationships. When you're floating free, happy, and totally absorbed, you're taking a mini vacation from deadlines, bills, and your crazy-busy schedule. Anything counts, from enjoying a silly moment with your spouse to hosting an impromptu gathering, to cooking up a new recipe in the kitchen. 
Squash Negativity 
Is your inner voice quick to snap out things like, "How could you forget that, you idiot?" Sometimes the noise inside our own heads is our biggest stressor. When negative thoughts crop up, imagine a stop sign in your head, and tell yourself, "Stop!" To turn things around, trade in put-downs for positive thoughts and affirmations. For example, when you feel tired during a workout, think, "I am strong" or when you start work on a difficult task, think, "I can accomplish anything." Empower yourself to think positive. 
Connect with Others 
Make every effort to talk -- really talk -- to people you care about. If they're far away, stay in touch through e-mail, phone calls, video chat, and, when you can, face-to-face visits; you'll all benefit by connecting. Get physical, too; hugs stimulate oxytocin, the "cuddle hormone," spreading a feel-good boost. Lovemaking does, too, in steady relationships (those couples report the highest happiness levels). Plus, connecting with others may keep you healthier by providing a coping mechanism for stress 
Keep a Gratitude Journal 
Simply writing down what you're thankful for makes you healthier, happier and more optimistic. Feeling thankful comes, in part, from counting your blessings each day. If you're not sure how to journal, start by answering: What three things am I thankful for? You might find that journaling gives you a better, happier outlook for each day because you're looking for moments to include in your journal each night. 
Enjoy the Great Outdoors 
Spending time with awesome Mother Nature makes you feel alert, enthusiastic, energetic, and simply happy. Is it the fresh air, the sunshine, the greenery? No one knows for sure. But something about being al fresco appears to help people get even bigger benefits from their workouts and they're also more likely to stick to their outdoor sports be it walking, bicycling, kayaking or an outdoor fitness class 
Turn On Some Tunes 
If you want to feel happy, less stressed and more energetic, flip on your stereo. Whether you love Bach, Lady Gaga or The Beatles, music that makes you feel good increases your heart and breathing rates and makes your brain release dopamine, a lovely feel-good neurotransmitter. Plus, no matter whether you enjoy listening to your favorite music alone or with friends, it will more than likely give you the mood boost you're looking for. 
Meditate or Pray 
For some, being spiritual means going to church. For others, it means finding a quiet place to meditate and think about life. No matter how you do it or what you call it, meditation and prayer can help slow breathing and brain activity, and reduce heart rate and blood pressure. Plus, when you do pray or meditate, you're more likely to be filled with peace, joy, and other positive emotions that can also lead to positive physiological responses throughout your body. 
Be Realistic 
Being happy means facing the fact that life sometimes stinks and that there will definitely be times when you’ll be unhappy. This doesn't mean you have to lower your expectations. Instead, align them with reality by expecting to face challenges. A little unhappiness here and there forces you to work through problems and think about what gives you happiness so you can set new directions that may change your life.

You Are What You Eat: Diet Tips for Every Age

Your complete guide to staying slim and healthy at every age. Plus, try out a virtual body makeover to see how you'd look if you lost or gained weight!

It's no secret that a diet of sweets and fried foods will lead to the dreaded muffin top. But what should you eat to keep trim and strong? What works for women in their 20s will not necessarily work for women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. Here, how to be healthy in each decade.

In Your 20s

"Your body is in build-up mode," says Ashley Koff, a dietician in Los Angeles. "Having a balanced eating routine will improve your weight and health."

Let go of your college ways. Still eating your first meal at 3:00 p.m.? Not a good idea if you're trying to lose weight. "Eating every three to four hours will maintain optimal metabolic efficiency," advises Stephen Gullo, president of New York's Center for Health and Weight Sciences. And forget about the drive-through. "You cut out extra salts, sugars, and preservatives when you cook at home," says Koff.

Eat right for energy. Bagels are convenient in a rush, but white, refined carbs metabolize quickly, causing blood sugar to spike and tumble down, explains Joy Bauer, a New York nutritionist and author of Slim & Scrumptious. She suggests whole grains coupled with protein for breakfast, as protein slows down the carbohydrate-absorption rate. And to keep your energy up during the day, eat greens like broccoli and spinach or drink green juices. "They have a tremendous energizing component," notes Koff.

Cut down on caffeine. You may have survived midterms with Red Bull, but caffeine causes the body to excrete calcium, which you need for bone density, says Koff. She suggests reducing your overall caffeine fix and switching to tea.

Watch your alcohol intake. Abstain from sugary mixes and drink wine, light beer, or hard liquor mixed with club soda in moderation. Warns Koff, "Be sure to hydrate not only with water but with water-based fruits and veggies and potassium-rich coconut water and avocado."

In Your 30s

You'll begin to notice the effects of aging on your body. "As your metabolism slows, you may find it hard to lose or maintain weight," says Mehmet Oz, vice chair and professor of surgery at Columbia University in New York.

Avoid mommy syndrome. "This means becoming a compactor for your children's leftovers or skipping meals because your needs come second now," notes Gullo. "Carry a Ziploc bag of GG Bran Crispbread, Laughing Cow light cheese, or a protein bar."

Enhance energy. Tired from balancing your kids, career, and social life? High-quality carbs and protein provide a prolonged energy effect, explains Bauer. Try to incorporate edamame, black beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas into your snacks and meals.

Restore nutrients. During pregnancy, your stored nutrients become depleted. It's important to replenish with nutrient-dense healthy fats like almonds, flaxseed oil, olives, and nut butter.

Boost your metabolism. If you're having trouble dropping extra weight, Oz has a few tricks to help shed pounds: "Eating a tablespoon of chopped red or green chili pepper can temporarily boost your metabolic rate by 23 percent. Green tea is known to rev up your metabolism for a few hours. Digesting fish, a great source of protein, will burn twice as many calories as digesting fat or carbohydrates."

In Your 40s

"As you go into a perimenopause period and eventually reach menopause, estrogen levels start to decline and make you more prone to water retention," says Gullo. He adds, "Your metabolic efficiency will continue to decline."

Limit carbohydrates to beat bloating. "Every gram of a carbohydrate binds with three to five grams of water, which creates additional bloat," notes Gullo. "To minimize retention, focus your diet heavily on vegetables that are low in starch and high in fiber." Try mustard greens, asparagus, endive, broccoli, and cauliflower.

Don't crash diet. "Anything with short-term consequences won't help," says Koff. "Your body is losing elasticity and will not recover as well from constantly dropping and gaining weight."

Clear out estrogen. As you go through hormonal changes, it's important to properly metabolize hormones like estrogen to help prevent certain cancers. Koff recommends adding ground flaxseed and apples to your diet, as well as a balance of vegetable and animal proteins like tofu, beans, lentils, and wild fish.

In Your 50s

At this age, your risk for diseases increases. Experts agree that being mindful of your diet can help keep you healthy.

Help your heart. "Your risk of having cardiovascular disease goes up to almost 40 percent," warns Oz. Adds Koff, "After menopause, women carry more weight in their abdomen, which affects the heart. Omega-3 fatty acids and B vitamins play a key role in heart health." Try wild fish, soybeans, whole grains, and broccoli.

Battle breast cancer. "About 75 percent of cases occur in women 50 or older," says Oz. "Limit alcohol to less than one drink a day and fat intake to less than 35 percent of your daily calories, and restrict foods high in saturated fat. There is a clear link between obesity and breast cancer."

Add antioxidants. Your body is gradually slowing down, so keep it strong with cancer-fighting antioxidants found in berries and beans.

In Your 60s+

"This is where you will reap the benefits of a life well lived," says Oz. But it's never too late to start. "Within three months of shifting your lifestyle, your survival curve shifts to a new level."

Eat meals more often. "Spreading three meals out into five or six can reduce the stress of eating on your body and keep your metabolism from being overworked," explains Oz.

Fill up on fruits and veggies. Look for ones high in vitamins C and E, which can lower your risk for Alzheimer's disease, notes Oz. Try citrus fruits, broccoli, tomatoes, chard, and mustard greens.

Strengthen your immune system. "Aging can cause you to become immunocompromised," explains Koff. Shiitake mushrooms, wild salmon, and vitamin D supplements help support your system.

Ease aches. "Foods that reduce inflammation will help ease pain," says Bauer. Try pure pumpkin (not the pie mix), red bell peppers, turmeric, and ginger.

Eat less, live longer? "We certainly have some interesting research to back up this theory, but the quality of life is important too," says Bauer. Adds Gullo, "If you're 'food smart,' you can eat more and still consume fewer calories. For example, most fish has fewer calories and fat per ounce than beef." He also explains that some studies suggest that resveratrol supplements may mimic the results of a calorie-restricted diet to enhance longevity.

4 Ways to Stay Away from Cancer

Cancer, as well as other deadly generative diseases, all start to develop when the immune system is weakened and your body is exposed. However, if you want to know how to stay away from cancer, you should keep in mind that cancer “happens” because you not only allow it, but you invite it in, so to say.
Most of people today get cancer because they are uninformed or misinformed on how to keep it away, so we`ve considered we could provide you with some crucial information on how to stay healthy and not allow this dreadful disease stop you from enjoying life.

However, the information that you will read below should also be considered by people who have already been diagnosed with cancer and don`t know how to heal themselves because it has been proven that cancer is a reversible disease and if you lead a proper lifestyle, you will treat it.

1. Eat Only Natural Food

What I mean by this is that people need to eat the food they were built for by Mother Nature and not the foods that “human specialists” say they should. Fruits and vegetables are the foods that provide us with all the vitamins, minerals, fibers and antioxidants to nourish all the body cells and keep them in good health.

These foods are natural as long as they come from nature and have grown without any chemicals whatsoever. Try to do this for a few days, maybe a week and see how you feel, first of all and if your overall health condition has got better. Replace you bacon and eggs with some fresh fruits in the morning and you will feel the difference in only a few days.

There is no way in the world that someone who pays a great deal of care for the food they eat has ever contracted cancer. Say no to all the frozen, canned, sweetened and processed foods whatsoever, because they will not give you the elements you body needs to keep safe, moreover they will do more damage to you than you can imagine. So, this is the first thing you need to do to stay away from cancer.

2. No to Addictions of Any Kind

Alcohol, smoking, coffee, energy drinks, soda drinks, diet sodas, chewing gum and so on could easily pass by addictions if you have them at least once a day or even less. The beverages and products I have enumerated above are all part of the contemporary society lifestyle and they are due to decades of brainwash and intensive marketing.

Don`t get fooled into thinking that these habits can get you any good. All sorts of cancer have been correlated with smoking, heavy drinking, soda drinks and other products because of what they contain. Have you ever wondered why chewing gum is such a bad choice if one wants to keep away from cancer? Have you ever heard of Aspartame? Then give it a quick Google.

There is nothing that kills you faster than the lack of information. Say no to products that want you to beg for more and get you trapped because they all have a down side to them.

3. Say No to Meat

Maybe this could be the most intriguing thing that you will read here, but according to numerous scientific studies that could hardly find a way to enter the mainstream media, heavy meat consumption is one of the ways to get cancer.

Have you ever heard of someone who has died due to fruits and veggies consumption (except for having an allergy they didn`t know about)? Neither did I.

However, due to its high toxins content and other stuff we were not meant to eat and out body does not know how to deal with, meat consumption has triggered very many diseases and epidemics: salmonella, e.coli, ischemic heart disease, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol and some cancer types. If you want to know more on how meat intake affects your health condition and causes cancer, we recommend you to watch Forks Over Knives.

4. No Processed Foods

Perhaps the most deadly and most dangerous substances that have been proven to cause cancer in numerous of studies are the food additives that are added in processed foods.
Believe it or not, most chicken nuggets American people eat have never even get close to chicken, not to mention all the other frozen foods that you can`t ever figure out what they are made of.

MSG, Aspartame, Red 2 G, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Nitrite and so one, are only a few of the food additives that cause cancer and still, in most countries of this world they have been approved by the authorities to make part of the highly processed, no value foods that they pour down our thoughts.

However, things are simple, if you believe you can`t live without these things that constantly consume your mind, body, energy levels and in the end well-being and health, don`t do it. However, this is the only way to stay away from cancer and live a long and really happy life. You can make some exceptions and you won`t get sick, but your overall lifestyle should go back to how it used to be some decades ago, when our grandparents and great grandparents feed on plants and fruits and suffered from neither one of the terminal diseases.
