Health and Diet
Eat smaller, frequent meals. The magic number of meals for the study participants seemed to be five. Rather than consuming three large meals and trying not to snack in between -- which may make you hungrier by the end of the day and more likely to binge -- spread out your food intake over the course of the day.

Fitness:
If you have arthritis, here are some tips for relief. Maintain good posture to equally distribute stress throughout the joints. Don't overdo it as arthritis is an inflammatory condition and overuse can cause flare-ups. Use proper muscle groups when lifting. Store things at a comfortable level. Exercise frequently to prevent muscles and joints from getting stiff. Remember to rest.
