Remove Sugar: Free...but again, not easy!! Our western diets are filled with sugar land mines. Foods that we believe to be healthy are often not at all good for us.

Exercise: No surprise with this one, but let's get some perspective. You do not need to go to the gym or hire a trainer and become the second coming of Arnold. You do need to move everyday. This can be as simple as taking a 20 minute walk. If you can only walk to the mailbox today... then do it... and then do it twice again tomorrow.
Just doing these simple things will start you on the journey towards a healthier happier you.
