Why it's so important to put yourself first.......

Those who were at the meeting this past week heard me tell about the Dr. Oz show I saw that made me think about the topic. He had a doc on who studies centagerarians(those people who make it to 100 yrs old +. Basically it comes down to putting yourself first, taking care of number one. Remember to go to Dr. Oz.com and take the 15 question quiz. Here are the quick calculations for finding out if you can be 100+ too.
Start with 89 (female age). Add 5 yrs if you have a positive attitude. Add another 5 if you have family members who have reached 90. You can't add any years if you exercise daily but if you don't then you take 5 away. Next if you do brain challenging activities/ hobbies add 5 yrs.
If you eat nutritously and maintain a healthy weight(okay we are working at it) you don't add years but you take away 5 if you don't maintain a healthy weight. Lastly, if you have smoked 1 "cig" you take away 15 years. If you have quit and its been 15 years you break even.
Now get out there and find time for YOU !!!!!!!!!
