I've been google-reading some blogs about self-improvements and that sorts. Here's something very useful and just simple enough for anyone that reads it to really do it.
Screw all the diet pills, healthy replacement meals, or re-engineered food, best health improvement comes from tweaking your bad habits into healthier lifestyle. In fact, to achieve that, you don't have to spend 100k to get a plastic surgery as you might not even feel healthier after all the arduous process. All you need to do is reading 50 tips by DumbLittleMan. The post in DumbLittleMan's blog actually elaborates further on 4W+1H - Why What Who When Where How. I'm not sure about the "Where" but it's worth a read.
