Taking care of ourselves
Lately I have been thinking more and more about my body and how I take care of it.
I was raised to believe that there are certain rules that you should follow to live a long and healthy life.
I may not always follow these rules, but I know what some of them are;
1. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, of 8 FL oz each.
2. Eat right
a. Don't eat greasy foods.
b. Keep your sugar intake down below 15g per day.
c. Keep your salt intake down below 1500 mg per day.
d. Never eat more food then the size of your two fists put together.
3. Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day.
4. Get 8 to 9 hours of sleep a night.
5. Don't smoke
6. Never drink more then 1/4th your body wight in alcohol in less then a month.
What I want to know is, are there any more rules I should try to follow?
What medical problems can following these rules prevent?
Have there been any scientific studies done on any of this?

Re: Taking care of ourselves
I definitely don't get that much sleep, but I think I'm okay for the rest of them.
Ooh, I know! Use sunscreen if you're going to be in the sun for more than 15 minutes. (But, if I recall correctly, you live in Washington, so that may not be relevant). And don't use the computer or TV for more than two hours at a time.

Re: Taking care of ourselves
Thanks, but just cuz I live in Washington doesn't mean that I never get to see the sun.
It has been rather nice the last few days, if you don't count the sand storm that one day.

I was actually in Seattle a few weeks ago, seeing relatives. It rained most of the time.
