10 Commandments for a Healthy Lifestyle

A couple of days ago I was browsing the web when I came across a post with 10 commandments you must follow to have a healthy lifestyle. I figured I should share it, as regardless of your profession, staying healthy is paramount for your success.
The commandments were elaborated by a Brazilian trainer called Nuno Cobra. Among others Nuno trained Ayrton Senna, three times Formula 1 World champion and considered by most the best racing driver that ever lived (myself included).
1. Get at least 8 hours of sleep every night, and never wake up to an alarm clock, as it represents an aggression to your body.
2. Eat in small portions regularly (i.e., every three hours or so).
3. Learn to taste the food and to chew it as slowly and as long as possible.
4. Exercise at least three times per week. Even regular walks, which anyone can do, are enough to give you the benefits of exercising.
5. Avoid stress. When facing it, try to dissipate it as quickly as possible by yawning or doing something that relaxes you.
6. Dedicate at least 15 minutes of your day to meditation.
7. Take at least a couple of cold showers every day, and those can energize you.
8. No treatment or routine will work unless you quit your bad habits first, like smoking or drinking.
9. When exercising, focus on the moment. Don’t read or listen to music while you cycle or jog.
10. Develop the habit of breathing deeper, and focus on the air coming to and going out of your lungs.
