I walk a great deal. I estimated that I walk about 3 miles a day. I also do it in a quick pace.

I do not eat fast food but I do eat my fare share of pizza which is not the greatest for you. We do cook at home a lot and try to avoid a lot of red meat. We even do vegetarian nights where we eat a lot of beans, soy for our protein kick. We try and have a salad with lunch and dinner and we eat a lot of fruit. We've curbed our eating out in order to save money. But I do treat myself to lunch and usually eat chicken burritos or grilled chicken and broccoli from a Chinese Restaurant near me (no MSG, not overly salty).

For the last couple of years, I have been drinking sencha green tea every day. One or two cups. Hot or cold. I enjoy it. It's supposed to be good for you.

I also do not use salt. Anything I cook does not have salt in it. (That way people can add salt to it if they like.) I worry that Ralphie and I eat too much of it. You only need a little each day.

I also make it a point to drink lots of water. It does mean a lot of trips to the loo, but oh well. I think that people don't drink enough of it and they get dehydrated and don't even know it. This leads to getting sicker more often. My theory is that people do too much soda and Starbucks and don't realize that all that caffeine is dehydrating them. Water is good stuff. We have a great filter at work and we buy bottled water at home...
