The social media is the biggest culprit these days, the constant connectivity is bothersome and people’s professions matter, some people have this habit of dumping their problems personal and professional on others. If they are not ok, they ensure others aren’t ok……They are intrusive, meddlesome ……these are due to extreme competition and the professions they are into….Choose your job wisely where you don’t have to talk much.

So good to see these tips! Thank you BBC. I do like the one on laughter!

Taking a cold shower in the morning is good advice. Your wife telling you to take a cold shower in the evening is not. Keep a loving relationship well into your elderly years is worth mentioning.

KEEP MOVING! Keeping mobile is a critical part of looking after your health...

Laughter and quality sleep are the best medicines to reduce stress. So laugh as much as you can. It will improve one's healthy life span.
