How to Keep Kids Healthy (Good for Adults, Too)

I read this article today from Yahoo, and it made me wonder how much healthier we as adults would be if we followed this simple advice for children.

6 Ways to Stay Healthy

1. Wash your hands: 15-20 seconds (sing the Happy Birthday song twice)
2. Be active every day: regular, moderate exercise (you don't have to be training for a marathon)
3. Get plenty of sleep: I bet getting 7 hours would be a major improvement for most people
4. Avoid touching your face: this goes along with the hand-washing in #1
5. Consume a balanced and healthy diet: colorful fruits and veggies are delicious!
6. Get the flu vaccine: this is pretty self-explanatory, and doesn't insurance cover some of the cost?

Who wants to try this out with me? Maybe a one-month trial period?
