How To Live A Healthy Life: 3 Useful Tips To Maintain A Healthy Lifestyle
Contrary to popular belief, learning how to live a healthy life doesn’t require you to sacrifice most things you’re accustomed to. Sure, there are those who like taking their healthy lifestyle to a whole new level, but that doesn’t mean you have to do the same. Everyone has their own way of staying fit in mind and body.
These 3 easy tips will get you started on the right track in living and maintaining a healthy lifestyle:
Tip # 1 on how to live a healthy life: Draw a line between professional and personal.
The office can get a little stressful, especially when your job demands you to be constantly on your feet. It might have escaped your notice that you’re putting in more hours at the office than what is regular for the past three months. Or that you’re taking your work home more than usual.
Separate your professional and personal time. All guidance counselors and psychologists will tell you that all work and no play can be bad for your health.
Tip # 2 on how to live a healthy life: Switch your regular oil to extra virgin olive oil.
A lot of celebrity chefs these days are advocating the use of extra virgin olive oil. If you want to start living and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, keep this in mind on your next grocery trip.
Extra virgin olive oil is best known for lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Other reports also claim that it lowers the risk of cancers as well.
Unlike regular oil, extra virgin olive oil lowers your cholesterol levels. Replacing your regular oil to this healthier version can even make the result of your recipe even tastier as it is more flavorful.
Tip # 3 on how to live a healthy life: Watch your weight.
Strive to maintain your ideal weight. A lot of people don’t really feel like they have a diet issue, but are shocked when the doctor or nutritionist tells them that they’re overweight or underweight. How do you know whether you have an issue or not? Consult your doctor.
Another way to check is by calculating your body mass index (BMI). It’s basically a comparison of your height and your weight. There is a mathematical equation for calculating your BMI, but you can also check this Web site out: nhlbisupport.com/bmi. This Web site automatically provides you your BMI as soon as you key in your height and your weight.
Aren’t these steps on how to live a healthy life so easy? Anyone who says that changing lifestyles will require you to give up all that you have known, is clearly too afraid to take the challenge, or is just not determined enough to make a difference.

April, I lost my spleen in a sledding accident when I was 13……that would make it…well, 30 years ago.
There is a pneumonia booster you must take every ten years, and it's good idea to get a flu shot.
I got a lot of infections during cold season at 1st but started taking echinacia (sp?) when getting sick so that never happens anymore.
The sucky part is the adhesion issue, but it's not bad…
E me if you want to talk about it.
The spleen is not a major organ, it's a link in your immune system but not a big part. Stores and filters red blood cells mostly I think…..

Get a list of the things you want from life. Once you can clearly see what they are, you will get a clearer idea about how to get them.

Manx cats should be able to live the normal cat life, just without a full tail. Here is a complete manual on the breed. 4 years is a short life, but the average outdoor cat life is about that, 4 years. Indoor cats live about 5 times that, to about 18 to 20 years. Indoors is simply safer, there are cars running about outside to run unsuspecting cats over, birds with flu dropping their bombs, ickkk. Spiders and snakes are usually found outside. And hostile preditors are not normally found indoors, (bad dogs outside, good dogs inside.)

I am truly sorry for your loss.
Being a hunter cat, the Manx, could have caught a parasite or poison from a spider, or snake bite. Depends on where you live. I live in the southwest US, and snakes, scorpions, and black widow spiders are out here.
I had that happen to me, though it is rare, it does happen but only to outdoor cats.
Included in the manual is the discussion of "Manx Syndrome", a myth perpetuated by a person studying the correlation of the shortness of the Manx tail and the predisposition to illness. Quite frankly, I find this not only ludicrous but offensive to think that a cat's tail length has anything to do with whether they will catch a cold.
In my opinion, there is no evidence to substantiate "Manx Syndrome."
