2.     Sleep smarter

-        Too much sleep, or not enough of it, can kill you. A British study found that getting more than nine hours of sack time a night, or less than six, doubles your risk of an early death from any cause. Aim for 7-8 hours a night.

3.     Pop in your lenses post-shower

-        Soaping up while wearing your contacts can expose your eyes to infection-causing waterborne microbes, say University of Illinois at Chicago researchers.

4.     Drink wine, stay lean

7.     Lean back

8.     Scent your air safely

-        Some air fresheners contain phthalates, compounds that may disrupt hormone processes, the US Natural Resources Defense Council testing reveals. Stick with Febreze Air Effects.

10.  Skip the spray

-        Using household spray cleaners just once a week increases your risk of asthma attack by 76 percent, say Spanish researchers. Use wipes instead.

11.  Steam your broccoli

- Italian researchers recently discovered that steaming broccoli increases its concentration of glucosinolates (compounds found to fight cancer) by 30 percent. Boiling actually lowers the levels.

12.  Stretch it our

-        Genes in your body linked to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity can be turned on if you sit for hours on end, reports a study in Diabetes. Hit the “off” button by taking hourly laps during TV, book, and web sessions.
