We hear the same old, same old all the time. Eat a healthy diet and get enough exercise and your health will improve. What we don't hear all the time are these eleven odd but simple ways to improve your health, from Dumb Little Man.

Some I can attest to. Using a neti pot has greatly improved my sinus health, reduced my allergic rhinitis and has saved me a headache or two. And there is nothing like deep breathing for relaxation, focus and cleansing.

Others were good reminders, like dry skin brushing. I haven't done this for years, but in the past have done this to help my lymphatic system flow properly. I'm making it a point to dig up my natural bristle body brush and get brushing again.

Still others were new to me, and quite fun to learn about. Tai Chi walking is a method of walking that helps you gain energy with each step. And I'm seriously considering getting a pair of Masai Balance shoes, as they help strengthen the core. Since I'm really into Pilates right now, I think they would make a nice compliment to that.

Finally, others were a complete turnoff and won't be going on in this household anytime soon. I just can't get into the idea of fasting. My body likes calories, and often. Portion control is really important, and if I want to get some benefits of fasting, I'll reduce my calories and eat vegetarian for a few days. I won't withhold food and get weak and shaky. Nor am I ready to jump on the colonic bandwagon, as healthy as it may be.

All in all, this was a really fun list to read and write about. Don't forget to view the whole eleven ways to improve your health.
