Tips to be Young

Research has found that people who generally liv e longer do so partly because of good habits. Here, Dr Vernon Coleman and others provide some of the following good habits for longevity.

1) Laugh & fun, don't be gloomy

2) Let bygones be bygones. Dwelling on the past inflicts unnecessary stress.

3) Early to bed, early to rise, is healthy & wise

4) Stay lean, being just 30% overweight is bad.

5) Keep learning, reading & socializing - an alert & active mind keeps brain cells healthy.

6) Keep working, doing something you like. Don't retire, it slows down your body.

7) Be the boss of your own life. Letting others push you around produces stress.

8) Too many pills ruin your body, take just what you need.

9) Constantly alternating between weight gain & loss is bad

10) Exercise, quit smoking and eat less fatty foods

11) Do not worry about health & death, just get on with your life and enjoy it.

Babies have more BONES than Adults

Babies have more bones than adults because as they grow up, some of the bones fuse together to form one bone. This in turn is because babies have more cartilage than bones. New born babies have around 305 bones. A baby's skeleton is mostly made of cartilages. As a person grows up, most of this cartilage turns into a bone in a process called Ossification. By Adulthood, the skeleton has just 206 bones. Isnt it a real WONDER???
