7. Put the phone away– spend at least 1 hour a day away from your phone. computer or tablet. The world will not end if you don’t check your Facebook news feed every 5 seconds. Respond to the random text messages later. Its time to remove yourself from technology and relax! Meditation, prayer, and or reflection are all great ways to ease your mind from the daily chaos.

6. Consume Brazil nuts – Brazil nuts contain high levels of selenium which is a trace mineral important for immune function, cognitive function, fertility for men and women, heart function, diabetes, thyroid function, inflammation, and much more. Brazil nuts will also keep your hair and skin looking healthy and young.

5. Sleep – Adults should sleep 7-9 hours a night. Stop checking your Facebook or watching the late night news until 11 pm. Try getting up early and being more productive, less stressed to get to work, and more time to eat a healthy breakfast.
