Q: Fish, vegetables, fruit, white meat, and nuts are great for your health. Additionally, cruciferous vegetables, such as cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli have anti-inflammatory properties, may prevent cancer, and are rich in vitamins. Try replacing unhealthy foods like processed fats or simple carbs with foods more rich in vitamins and minerals. If you're having a hard time eating healthy, try replacing one meal a week with a healthier option. For instance, instead of making morning toast with white bread, choose a whole wheat option instead. Another great way to eat healthy is to replace some soda or sugary juices you drink with water. For more flavor, you can even add a squeeze of lemon or lime into the water! Eating healthy is a slow, steady process. Don't try to change your diet all at once; instead, build up your diet until you're mostly eating healthy fruits, vegetables, and proteins on a regular basis. When building your plate for a meal, try to create a balance of protein, grains, vegetables, and fruits. Additionally, avoid eating out when possible. Cooking your food not only ensures you know what's going into it but makes portion control easier! If you eat fast food regularly, try reducing it to a couple times a week, and replace it with home-cooked meals. Regular exercise, even moderate-intensity aerobic activity, supports weight loss and weight control, which may make you feel more attractive. Exercise improves mood stability, so you'll feel better about yourself after moderate physical activity. It also increases your bone and muscle strength, which prevents injuries later in life. If you're not used to exercising, start slowly to prevent cardiac issues. Start with brisk walking a few times a week, and slowly increase the intensity. A general guideline for physical activity is 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise, or 75 minutes weekly of intense exercise. Sleep can not only improve your cognitive functioning, but it's also great for your overall health. While you sleep, healing hormones are hard at work healing skin damage caused by the sun and exposure to pollution. You'll also prevent eye bags and premature wrinkling when you get quality sleep. Limit caffeine consumption in the evening, because stimulants can interfere with your circadian rhythm. Sleep on comfortable mattresses and pillows to prevent back pain at night. Practice a relaxing bedtime ritual. Putting on relaxing music before you go to bed promotes calmness, and so does reading a book. Showers or baths also calm your nerves before bed. Try keeping your bedroom cooler, since that can improve sleep quality. All the cells in our body need water. Your joints need it to stay lubricated, and it helps fight fevers, delivers oxygen through the body, and regulates body temperature. Drinking more water also reduces acne breakouts by ridding your body of wastes through urination and perspiration. When you're dehydrated, your skin may become more vulnerable to eczema, psoriasis, and wrinkling.
A: Eat healthy foods to slow aging and prevent illness. Practice eating in moderation for a healthier lifestyle. Exercise to control weight, increase strength, and prevent diseases. Sleep 7-9 hours every night to get enough sleep. Drink 6-8 glasses of water per day for a healthier body.

Q: . Being indie means you're independentit's where the name comes from. What does independent mean? It means you do your own thing. It doesn't matter what current fashion trends are, were, or will be -- you just do whatever you feel like. So don't even worry about dressing indie -- if you're dressing like you want, that's it. Just make sure you like it because you like it. Society's voice is so obnoxiously loud sometimes it's hard to determine if it's us making the decision or someone else telling us to make the decision. Alright, so if there's one thing that actually is indie, it's avoiding brand names. An indie kid wouldn't be caught toting a Coach purse or a pair of $250 True Religion jeans. They tend to be a bit more logical than that -- if a similar, well-made, quality piece can be found at a vintage shop, where's the contest? But again, do as you please. Just because the mainstream likes something doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. Embrace a trend or two if you honestly like it -- just don't stop embracing it when it falls out of favor! Being indie is about appreciating what is "good." And "good" is timeless -- not temporary like trends always, always are. Because of that, indie people generally appreciate vintage items and timeless pieces (think 40s - 70s). If you find something that's old school that you like, rock it! It was good then and it's good now. Whether it's a vintage band tee or your sister's Kelly Kapowski t-shirt, remember: Do you like it? Not very hard to forget! Who knew being indie was so effortless? Since you're free to be who you are, mix it up! Go a little Jackie Kennedy, go a little John Lennon, go a little Artist Formerly Known as Prince if you damn well please. If you like it, you'll feel confident. And if you feel confident, you'll rock it. Don't worry about certain pieces fitting into a certain label. Do you like that plaid shirt but you know it screams hipster? How about that studded cuff that almost comes prepackaged with eyeliner? Cool. Go for it! When you mix 'em all, the look is quintessentially you. You're probably gonna read a bunch of stuff on the Internet or see a bunch of videos or talk to a bunch of your friends about what indie is. If they say "dude, you gotta wear skinny jeans" or "whoa, what are you doing in those Converses?!" shrug it off. The whole idea of indie is that there isn't a look you have to abide by. Feel free to correct them, too!
A: Be yourself Avoid brand names and mainstream stores. Bring it back. Mix a whole bunch of styles if you so choose. Don't believe the hype.

Q: You can trick a person into jinx by asking a simple question. For instance, if you say "What's 2 plus 2?," the other person will mostly likely say "4." In that case, you can say "4" at the same time, then immediately say "jinx" to start the game. In some variations, the person doing the jinxing can punch the jinxed person if he or she talks before the game is over. In one variation, when you say the same phrase, you can say "American jinx, touch wood" instead of just "jinx." You play the game the same way with one exception: the first person to touch a piece of wood gets to punch the other person. If you both say "jinx" at the same time, you can say "double jinx" to initiate the game. In that case, you need to say the person's full name to end the game. If it happens again when you say "double jinx," it turns into "padlock jinx," where you need to include the person's middle names to end the game.
A:
Trick a person into jinx. Know a variation. Understand the "American jinx" variation. Try double jinx.
