5 Things That Will Age You

Stress

It's critically important to recognize that belly fat is a barometer to how you cope with stress in your life.

You've get this big joint called the temporomandibular. It's the joint of the jaw that comes under too much stress when you clench your jaw all the time. And you stretch it out, and you relax it. And by doing that, you begin to take all your joints, and remind them how it feels not to be tensed up.

That's why deep breathing is so important for us to learn about. Deep breathing, which is the foundation of all Eastern practices for meditation, is the foundation for stress management in so many cultures. And we never do it.

You don't want to use your chest wall to pull up the lungs. The big muscle in the body that moves the lungs is the diaphragm. So you've got to do belly breathing.

Smoking

Although it seems it's adaptive, and that it's helping you cope, for almost all smokers who I really have gotten down to on this thing, it makes you feel like you're pathetic because you're addicted to the thing you don't want to be addicted to.

Eating Bad Food

There's a lot of food advice out there. Food is a sacred topic for me. Food is not to be feared; it's not to be counted.

So, I want you to pay attention to one basic concept. You want the food you eat to look the way it looked when it came out of the ground.

Avoid the white foods because there are very few white foods in nature. The white bread, the white pasta, the white flour, the white sugar, which gets hidden into our food, are all out.
