Three Personal Health Tips

First of all, ensure that you are getting adequate sleep. Sleeping has many benefits including improving memory, helping to maintain a healthy immune system, improving motor control, and more. Psychology Today has the full scoop.

Second, you should be eating real food. What is real food? Well, Michael Pollan explains exactly that in his new book "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto". In the book, he characterizes how we should eat by saying: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly Plants." Then, he proposes "an alternative way of eating that is informed by the traditions and ecology of real, well-grown, unprocessed food." Read more about Michael Pollan's book at his website.

Lastly, reports by the CDC show that married adults are "healthier than divorced, widowed or never married adults." So, if you haven't tied the knot yet, maybe it's time you think about it. Chances are you'll be healthier for doing it. Read the full findings for more information on why married adults are the healthiest.
