First in line was Henry Hyperson, an insurance salesman in his forties. Puffing a cigarette, he was nervously tapping his foot. His casual clothes just hung on his skinny frame. His breathing was short and quick. Impatiently, he was fidgeting his cigarette from hand to hand.

Second in line was Carol Calmton, a physical education teacher in her thirties. Standing erect her hands were behind her. She had a confident smile on her peaceful serene face. Slim, she had an athletic figure. Her clothes showed good taste.

Third in line was Fanny Floppy, a housewife in her twenties. Yawning and sniffling, she had a cold. Her complexion was broken out with pimples and blackheads. The heavy woman had a loud sneeze. She wiped her nose on her sleeve. Then she scratched her head through her curlers. Slouching she looked tired and bored. Her dress was too tight and her slip was showing. Billy, 5 and Susy 7, were hanging on her slip.

The manager opened door and announced first three people in line won a FREE cart full of food.

Jumping up and down, Henry was ecstatic and emotional. He hugged manager and wanted to run and tell his wife. But he would lose his place in line. Everyone had to calm him down. Carol appreciated opportunity and thanked manager. Smiling, she was grateful and went in to fill her cart. She had a list in hand. Shrugging and yawning, Fanny didn't think it was a big deal. Scratching her rear end, she sniffled. Tired, she wondered in. Billy and Susy were all excited jumping up and down, and pulling their Mother to move faster.

Far from being difficult, tiring exercises, getting healthy can be quite easy. A few simple acts or lifestyle changes can put you on path to feeling happier and healthier faster than you can imagine...

1. Eat breakfast every day.

Your mom was right, it's most important meal of day. Don't skip it.

2. Drink lots of water.

In these days of coffee, tea, sodas, seltzers, colas and coolers it's easy to think we're getting all water we need, but nothing beats good ol' plain water. Eight glasses a day.

3. Get a good night's sleep.

As one who deals with sleep problems, I can tell you from experience, poor sleep patterns can quickly disrupt your life. Research shows that 6 to 8 hours of restful sleep is what most of us need to be happy and productive. If you're having problems sleeping, contact a doctor immediately.
