• Take the multi-vitamin – Some healthy things take a lot of motivation, time, effort, or money. Multi-vitamins are very cheap (especially when purchased in quantity) and they are easy to take. Is there a potential downside? Some say that processing excess vitamins and minerals could tax your body. I think the odds of a deficiency is much higher. I personally take a vitamin with many times the US recommended daily allowance in several areas. I’ve been leaning towards even going higher as recommended in Fantastic Voyage. That level of extreme supplementation requires more research for me.
• Go for a walk – It’s so easy and barely takes any real effort and no money. It does take a little motivation and some time, but the pay off is great. There’s the fresh outside air, time to think (if by yourself) or converse with a partner, getting a bit of exercise in.
• Increase protein and fiber intake – I’m a huge fan of lean protein. It seems that whenever I focus on it, my body responds with more energy. Fiber has a similar effect on me. It seems that I’m never hungry because these foods just stick in my stomach.
• Decrease sugar and complex carbs – Sugar isn’t all bad, but most diets include far too much of it. Historically the human body hasn’t had a huge sugar sources like we have today. I don’t believe our bodies have evolved to make efficient use of Twinkies. Similarly complex carbs can easily be stored as fat. Ten years ago, I went on a low fat diet that consisted largely of pasta. I was under the impression that if I didn’t eat fat, I wouldn’t get fat. I’m a lot wiser now (or at least I hope I am).
• Don’t Smoke – Do I really need to go into this? Seriously, if you don’t know this you must have been living under a rock for the last 40 years or so.
• See your doctor regularly – I’m guilty of not doing this one, but I need to get better. Regular check-ups are key for the early detection of anything abnormal. Early detection is the key for putting things back in order. Unfortunately, I’ve been lacking the motivation and time has been scarce.

I hope that’s enough to get Henry started towards a healthy lifestyle. I believe that if a 20-30 year old could accomplish these 5 goals they could live – no, thrive – to 90 or 100. If Henry follows the above, his biggest problem might be having enough of those Binary Dollar Zeros to the right of that of Binary Dollar One to afford his long life.
