Another quick exercise tip of the day. Do a football-like drill of running in place for 60 seconds. Get those knees up and your heart pumping, but don't overdo it, if you are not used to exercising. If you are just getting started on exercising, march in place instead and slowly build up your strength. Enjoy!

Did you know that fresh herbs like rosemary, sage, oregano and thyme make many other foods heart-healthy when they replace salt, fat and cholesterol. These flavour powerhouses, along with nuts, berries -- even coffee -- form a global approach to heart-wise eating. Source: WebMD

Another exercise tip for the day. Glance at the wall clock and rip off a minute's worth of jumping jacks. If you're a beginner, try the low-impact version (raise your right arm and tap your left toe to the side while keeping your right foot on the floor; alternate sides). Source: WebMD

Looking for exercise ideas to do at work? Try this: do a 2-3 minute stair climb workout, one or two steps at a time, slowly, so you work your thighs, hips, and buttocks, and you don't even have to work up a sweat. It's a really good idea to have a break from what you're doing and get some exercise at your desk. Source: WebMD

The third main key action to living a healthy lifestyle is to lead an active life. You can get active with any activity that you love, such as gardening, walking or anything that you enjoy. If your time is limited, even ten minutes of simple exercises done a couple of times a day do count.

Healthy food choices include eating three good and healthy meals a day and please consider the following tips:
(i) Try to limit portion sizes
(ii) Eat slowly
(iii) Read the labels and choose a lower salt option
(iv) Try to limit processed and fast foods
(v) Reduce sodium or salt intake
