Seeing Red
Seeing Red
Cut back on red and processed meat to help keep your colon healthy.
Eating 160 grams or more of red or processed meat per day -- the equivalent of about 5 and a half ounces -- was associated with a significant increase in a person's risk of colorectal cancer in a recent study. Try poultry, fish, dry beans, egg whites, tofu, or nuts for an alternative to red meat that is still rich in protein.
RealAge Benefit: Eating a diet low in saturated and trans fats can make your RealAge as much as 6 years younger.

Health and Diet:
Do you have trouble relaxing? Practice forced relaxation. While exercise should be your first go-to, pairing it with one of the many tried and true relaxation techniques is even better. Try deep breathing, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation and visualization. Set aside some time in the morning to relax. You'll start your day on the right note
Fitness:
For your lower body, some of the toughest exercises are the lunge and squat. You can do many variations of them. For example, when doing a squat you can change your footing by moving your legs together or spreading your legs with feet pointed out. Or you can face your feet forward to target the quads more. For lunges you can do walking lunges, side lunges, front and back lunges, stationary lunges or falling lunges.
