I’ve acquired some wholesome – and healthful – habits in my life, some from my mom –

• push back your cuticles when towel-drying your hands after washing them
• drink lots of water to flush your system after chemotherapy
• don’t toss the used tea bogs. Place them under your eyes while you nap to reduce ‘bags’ there
• bend at the waist as you brush your hair. I do this when I use the hair dryer, too
• you can manage your man with timely hugs and kisses
• you don’t have to know everything. You just have to know where to find it (Google)
• You can celebrate your birthday for a month… today is my birthday, btw!

Other health-related advice came from my PT at the time –

• stretch your hamstrings before you get out of bed each morning
• tighten the VMO muscle just above your knees when you climb stairs and keep your quads strong
• KT or Rock Tape forestalls knee surgery because of its tight-stretched support
• keep your back intact with front, back, and side leg raises
• hold a muscle stretch for 15 seconds or more

Ah, the advice of hairdressers –

• rub some of this product into your hair before using the hairdryer. It coats your hair and helps to retain its beautiful hue
• never use hot water or a dryer set to hot on your fragile hair
• this shampoo and conditioner combo will make your hair feel thicker and more healthy
• use product to boost your fine hair so that you don’t look like you’re wearing a bathing cap when you leave the house…

Let’s not forget the ubiquitous advice of sages – young, old, and far-flung – An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
