1. Switch Up Some Of Your Food Habits

This is where your doctor and hospital should create SPECIFIC diet protocols: for blood pressure reduction; for stroke recovery; for stroke prevention; for dementia prevention; for cognitive improvement; for cholesterol reduction; for plaque removal; for inflammation reduction. NOT the lazy prescription of the MIND or  Mediterranean diets.

2. Add Just 20 Minutes Of Movement To Each Day

I'm good with this, usually 1.5-2 hours a day of walking to get in my 10,000 steps. Needed along with eating only 2 meals a day to maintain my weight.

3. Bust Out Of Your Comfort Zone More Regularly

I originally did this by moving someplace where I knew no one, had to join numerous Meetup groups

4. Prioritize Sleep

I'm failing at this. With my active social life and the amount of exercise I need to do sleep is where the time is stolen from. Caffeine is used to get me awake in the morning.

5. Maintain An Active Social Life

There are times when I have activities 5 nights a week. As the book, 'The Tao of Dating; The Smart Woman's Guide to Being Absolutely Irresistible' states, you should be dating 3 people at a time. Dating one person at a time will limit your social life. I'm not dating anyone but have plenty of female friends to do things with.
