6 One-Minute Tips To Extend Your Lifespan


Healthier habits don't always require a big time commitment. Check out these one-minute health tips from Dr. Mehmet Oz that can add years to your life.

1. Step It Up: People who sit for four or more hours each day have a 50 percent greater risk of dying from any cause than those who sit less than two hours per day. Get up at least once every hour and walk around for a minute.

2. Egg-celent Idea: One egg provides 13 percent of your daily protein requirement at a "cost" of only 4 percent of your calorie intake. It also offers lutein, choline and other powerhouse nutrients. Eggs are tasty any time of day, so it should be easy to add one to your healthy diet.

3. Take Chromium: This trace mineral helps maintain proper blood sugar levels by increasing your cells' sensitivity to insulin. A healthy dose is 200 micrograms each day of chromium polynicotinate.

4. Remember To Floss: Bacteria between teeth will infect your gums and enter your bloodstream, where they can cause inflammation and contribute to plaque buildup on blood vessel walls.

5. Know Your Pulse: Before you get out of bed each morning, check your pulse by pressing your index and middle fingers against the inside of your wrist. Count the beats for 30 seconds and double that number. A normal resting rate is 60 beats per minute; if your number is 90 or higher, you could be at risk for heart disease.

6. Massage Stress Away: Stress damages every organ in your body, but you can relieve stress with self massage. Press your thumbs against the sides of your nose just below your browbone; then walk your index and middle fingers across your brows and finish by lightly rubbing your temples.
