Mark Twain once
said, “Habit is habit,
not to be flung out the
window by any man but
coaxed downstairs a

_ Step. at a time.” And if
the desired habits are
healthful lifestyle ones,
we must prepare for a
good measure of
coaxing. New habits
take patience and
persistence but, luck-

ily, the end result
justifies the effort.

In 1972, Preventive
Medicine journal reported a
five year study of seven
thousand adults. Their
adherence to seven simple
habits was associated with
longer life and better health.
The habits were:

-~ three meals a day at
regular intervals

— eating breakfast

-—~ moderate exercise

— seven to cight hours sleep
nightly :

— moderate weight

—_no smoking

: -Persistence pays off

— alcohol in moderation or
not at all.
Three nutritious meals at
regular intervals reduce the

desire for in-between meal

snacks. Research suggests
that those who don’t eat
breakfast constitute more
than ninety per cent of the
overweight population,
Insufficient “fuel” at
breakfast makes one more
apt to reach for a doughnut
with mid-morning coffee.

Seven to-eight hours sleep
nightly makes good sense.
Moderate exercise carries its
own inherent benefits and,
with the already suggested
dietary habits, helps achieve
moderate weight. The ill-
effects of  injudicious
smoking and .drinking dare
well documented. A proper
approach to these complete
the seven healthful habits.

So these habits are easily
stated, but not so easily
eared. If youre making
changes, consider the
following tips. Some might
