Ten Ways To Good Health

I was inspired by Mimi Foster's blog : A Life I Want To LIve ...to share this list I found in Maui, Hawai'i many years ago. As a published author, I'm big on crediting authors I borrow from or quote, but I have no idea who wrote this, as it was engraved on a Japanes tea mug, of all places. It always stuck with me and I have translated it here for you.

(Watashi wa Americjin, demo, Nihongo ga socshi wakarimasu, scoshi hanashimasu, demo matta josu ja arimasen). Which means, even though I'm American, I speak and understand a little Japanese, but I'm not very good.

(Ten Ways To Good Health)

 

*Less Alcohol, More Tea 

Less Meat, More Vegetables

Less Salt, More Vinegar

Less Sugar, More Fruit

Less Eating, More Chewing

Less Words, More Action

Less Greed, More Giving

Less Worry, More Sleep

Less Driving, More Walking

Less Anger, More Laughter

 

It's a good life, go live it!

 

 

*(Roger Mucci I sincerely apologize for this one, but this was as written; I cheat on that one too-wink).

Good morning, Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor I'm a health fanatic.... my post today will be about how I start every day..... we all need to be health conscious.... the later we start, the more difficult it is to reach that goal of "good health"....

Oh you are so right, I didn't get serious until I was 45 and it's been much harder work to change habits now, but I am persistent.

I got a problem with #2 Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor , I'm advocating for filet Mignon for every meal.

I'm easily swayed to your politics on that one Bob "RealMan" Timm I love a great fillet Mignon once in a while too, with garlic mashed potatoes & asparagus!!! OMG I may have to have that tonight, don't tell anyone.

Hi Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor ,  I surely can't argue with your "Ten ways to Good Health" list.  Have a great week.

This is a great list and we could all use it to live healthier.  Let's add another one... less screen time, more face time.  lol
