Health requisites

This is interesting stuff from KBS World channel Vitamin! It was aired last Sunday night.



How to stay healthy and add quality years to our lives?

According to the show's panel of doctors, the health requisites (summarized to the best of my memory) are:
1. Flossing - Yes, everyone should have OQ (oral care quotient). Correct method of flossing after brushing makes our teeth "6 years younger".
2. Read food labels carefully. Be smart and eat within our calories quotas. This will add 12 years to our lives!
3. Sunblock - this prevents premature aging of our skin complexion. A good sunblock has SPF30 (blocks UVA) with PA++ (blocks UVB). Adds 15 years to our lives!
4. Aspirin (must consult with your doctor first) - a blood thinner. Adds 3 years to our lives.
5. Hula hoop - regular exercise with the hula hoop is beneficial to colon hence evacuation becomes a daily and easy routine! How come I never think of that? Adds another 5 years.
6. Finally...a mirror! A two-fold benefit. Looking at ourselves in the mirror and observe any anomalies (do self-examination). Secondly, smile to ourselves often. Adds 10 years - wow!

Do you believe in some or in all of the above?
