Top 10 vices that are good for you: CNN Health
CNN's web site reports the following ten 'vices' that are actually good for you. Some of the items on the list have been covered here before.
Here's a summary:
- Get enough sleep.
This one is obvious. You need to get enough sleep. - Play hooky from work (take a 'mental health' day off from work).
Hey, who can argue with that one? - Have sex (um...)
- Have some chocolate.
We've covered that one -- chocolate (dark, sans all the stuff that's in the typical junk food candy bars) seems to have all kinds of health benefits. - Go out and have some fun.
Did they really need to tell us this? - Eat full fat dressing.
Hey, look, fat's finding its way back on the menu (along with the obligatory warnings about eating the 'right kind' of fats). - Have a morning cuppa joe.
Yep, coffee has antioxidants, and research shows numerous benefits. - Get a massage (rubdown).
Sign me up! - Get some sun.
Yep, you need vitamin D. All kinds of good stuff here. - Have a glass of wine.
Sirtuins. Antioxidants. Pop a cork, pour a glass, and look it up.
