Go to the gym every day. Resistance training every 4th day. Cardio all others. Eat fewer calories than you burn until you have about 3-6% bodyfat. Then eat the same number of calories you burn. Always wear your rubbers, all types. Don't smoke. Don't take drugs. Don't drink more than 2 drinks per day. Don't get old.

I heard you're supposed to eat at least two portions of oily fish (sardines, mackeral etc) a week. I don't do this really but I had sardines on toast for lunch today.

Baldness in men occurs because the testosterone secretes a chemical that blocks the follicles with calcium and stops hair going through. I was told a theory that it could have something to do with GM foods as male pattern baldness is on the increase with baldies getting younger and younger. Shampooing regularly doesn't seem to matter, in fact it can help because you are massaging the scalp. I've started using a derma control spray despite not quite being bald yet. I don't want it to happen!

don't worry about things that are beyond your control, like going bald.

don't play roleplaying g@mes

how do you check body fat anyway?

i'm tearing my hair out just thinking about it. naw, I'm 23 but have noticed my hairline starting to receed just a bit and i'd rather not risk waiting around for it to all fall out

GM foods as male pattern baldness is on the increase with baldies getting younger and younger. Far too early to tell.

― Skottie, Sunday, 4 April 2004 23:44 (twenty-two years ago)

is it though?

Fast but sloppy is to look at ratios of height/build to weight. Other ways include electrical resistance tests, a lot of gyms have these machines. Another way is submersion in a vat of water to measure displacement.

― Skottie, Sunday, 4 April 2004 23:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I think so, d.l. GM foods have really been available for mass consumption for a pretty short time.

― Skottie, Sunday, 4 April 2004 23:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Eat broccoli. Seriously. That shit's like a miracle cure-all in leavy green yummyness (tis the antioxidants).

Eat garlic for the same reason.

Sip lots of water. Keep moving. Dont obsess over killing germs with sprays and soaps and antibiotics - you'll only end up sicker.

oh yeh, this thread ain't just about health - well being and happiness and stuff to make your life easier too please! :-)

― dog latin (dog latin), Sunday, 4 April 2004 23:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh in that case - smoke tha d00b.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 4 April 2004 23:54 (twenty-two years ago)

drinking lots of water is key.
make sure u eat regularly and in moderate proportions.

and sleep is really important too. make sure you keep a steady sleeping schedule

― sunja, Sunday, 4 April 2004 23:55 (twenty-two years ago)

The most relaxing sleep is while you're driving.

― Skottie, Sunday, 4 April 2004 23:59 (twenty-two years ago)

They call it the BIG SLEEP.

"how do you check body fat anyway?"

With these horrible calibrated pinchers that clutch the fat not the underlying muscle.

My personal maintenance advice: don't wash your hair everyday. Manicures are nice. Professional massage is fantastic for nearly everything especially stiffness and stress. Leg waxing hurts like hell and doesn't work that well anyway.

Find someone to cuddle with at night.

― Kim (Kim), Monday, 5 April 2004 00:39 (twenty-two years ago)

GOod answer Kim :)

Also - have a pet or 2.

Except I'm a bed hog and I want all the room!

In terms of general thoughts, there is little wrong with an apple and a tomato a day for noshing.

Don't walk around with 20 pound book bags on your shoulder. Develop and maintain good posture. Preserve your back. Learn from my mistakes.

― jewelly (jewelly), Monday, 5 April 2004 00:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Ride a bike everywhere you go.

― Speedy (Speedy Gonzalas), Monday, 5 April 2004 07:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Walk everywhere. Drink a lot of water. Don't eat too much. Don't do any exercise if you can avoid it.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Monday, 5 April 2004 07:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Kim's advice about finding someone to cuddle with is great for your mental and spiritual health, but the weight I've put on since me and Vic got together is borderline obscene

― chris (chris), Monday, 5 April 2004 07:55 (twenty-two years ago)

the Best way the check body fat would be to look at yourself naked in the mirror and jump, if any areas that are not meant to jiggle are still in motion after you stop movement, go running, or walk for 25 secs then sprint for ten secs, do this for 20+ minutes, you will lose weight faster doing this than just jogging. also if anywhere is in relative walking distsace, walk.

always floss yor teeth.

drink, smoke & fuck, but avoid excess, everything is good for you in moderation - (apart from smoking tabacco, i dont think this has any health benefits, and doing it in moderation is pointless caus most people do it to feed their addiction).

act on instinct at the same time as practising restraint, so as to consider others than yourself.

take time out of your day to remind yourself 'everyday in everyway i am getting better and better'

take your medication regulary, before or after food.

smile, smiling is good for you.

regular interaction with other human lifeform,
sexual interaction with member of the opposite sex or whatever your sexual prefference.

remember

that like most things you are nothing, i am nothing, like this sword, its all a state of mind.

Errrrrrrrrrrr

What Chris said. I tried to take my wedding and engagement rings off the other night to show someone them properly, and THEY WOULDN'T GO OVER MY KNUCKLES ANY MORE - proof that I have turned into a fat bat since marriage! This is wrong in so many ways, but probably happened because I have now settled into a life where I like staying at home and cooking and drinking wine and snacking and vegging about in front of TV/computer/board games.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 5 April 2004 08:26 (twenty-two years ago)

to an extent my post was meant to be satirical, i took the last bit from crouching tiger hidden dragon.

― luciano venga, Monday, 5 April 2004 10:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah! You had me worried there for a moment! Buy or at least acquire a good bed - that's another tip for ya.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Monday, 5 April 2004 10:08 (twenty-two years ago)

get a little outdoor sunlight, but not too much, every day

Crawl to China over broken glass while reciting Wittgenstein from memory. All your problems will fade away. Along with your life essence.

― Skottie, Monday, 5 April 2004 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

were would yo get all the broken glass? its a long way to china. youd have to bring someone along to break glass panals infront of you. this should be televised on illegal cable, youd get into the record books, and imagine the sense of achievement and enlightenment you recieve at the end of such an ordeal.
actually, this dosnt sound healthy, youd get glass in your wounds, the ground would be dirty, your body would become infected. its more the kind of harship youd encounter to earn a soul back your soul if you needed it. maybe shed would give you magical prowess, hehehe. man i gotta try that one day.
