Wash fruits and vegetables before you cook them. No matter how "organic" you think your food is, you can never really be sure unless you personally grow it. Chances are high that your food has come in contact with pesticides, even if not while being grown, at least in transit.

Don't skip your daily anti-oxidants. Many people swear by green tea these days, while still other retch at the thought of swallowing what tastes more like putrid rainwater! Green tea, though, is good for your health. A cup of green tea each day, coupled with fresh fruits and vegetables, can keep you healthy and prevent diabetes, stroke and even heart problems.

Keep your teeth healthy. Interestingly, rotten teeth have been the cause of numerous health problems, ear infections and even heart problems. Germs that lodge in rotten teeth can travel through your body wreaking havoc. A regular visit to your dentist is less scary than the complications that can arise from cherishing your decaying teeth!
