Boost Your Health in 60 Seconds: Top 5 Ways

Got a minute? In the time it takes you to add yet another comment to the discussion about the iPad, you can make your body younger for the next big Apple reveal -- and maybe even the 20 after that. Here's how to keep your body young in 60 seconds or less:

1. Take a deep breath. This helps move nitric oxide, a potent blood vessel dilator that resides in your nose, to your lungs, where it helps them function better. A deep breath also functions like a mini meditation, reducing stress and the aging it brings with it.

2. Floss. Every day. Really, what's hard about it? It helps prevent periodontal disease, and if you dodge that trouble, your RealAge will be younger.

3. Reach for a different detergent. Use nontoxic, biodegradable dishwasher soap without phosphates, chlorine, or nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE), which is called a gender-bender and feminizes fish in the waters where we humans dump our waste.

4. Swallow some DHA. Not just any amount; you should get 600 milligrams a day of this amazing component of fish oil that helps keep your brain, heart, mood, and maybe even waistline healthy. Fish oil is great, too -- that's DHA plus EPA. Aim for a supplement with a combined total of 2,000 milligrams of DHA and EPA a day.

5. Smooch. Taking a moment out to feed your relationship contributes to your happiness, which boosts your health, too. And as far as 60 seconds go . . . well, we're pretty sure more time is better on this one.
