Everything is related, so your body is part of your mind or whatever you wanna say. The way you treat your body includes your mind, as your a physical being (religious or not you can't dispute that)

So... things on to do list:
1. Healthier eating -- more vegetables and lean beef, poultry and pork. Body needs nutrients first and foremost. Less sugary and carbohydrate rich junk. Its mostly the time side of things for this..preparing healthy stuff takes time!
2. Cutting caffeine down by 90% because I drink around 30 cans of soda a week. Caffeine is starting to have weird effects on me. I feel my heart goes "bubbily" and beats funny sometimes plus it kinda hurts from time to time. Doc says nothing is wrong with me. And I have huge burnout without my caffeine so I'll bite the bullet and go through withdrawl of it.
3. Stop cracking knuckles (heard this can lead to arthritis?)
4. Proper posture while sitting... no more slumping (my back hurts)
5. Regular chiropractic visits (to correct back)
6. 1/2 hour intense cardio activity a day for general well being
7. Lose 40-50 pounds...its starting to become a nuisance on my back pulling it so much.
8. Ginseng? Anyone here recommend it? I tried it before, but wasn't on it constantly so perhaps thats why I didn't notice anything.
9. Regular relaxation crap like using sauna and hot tub (just to unwind stress)
10. Get back into sports couple times a week. I'm thinking golf for the summer and skiing for the winter?
11. REGULAR SLEEP PATTERN. Not just right number of hours, but all within a schedule so that I sleep same time every day. I heard about sleep debts and stuff, anyone care to expand that? I'm going to try for minimal 7 hours nightly for at least a month. I seem groggy after 7 even, so perhaps 8 is best.

Any more recommendations on how to better treat your body??? I really wanna last long. All this cancer and crazy crap around me is scary. Work part time in a hospital and it really made me think after seeing so many sick people.

That is false.

You can't do all that at once, it's too much new stuff. I recommend picking a couple and sticking with those until they become habit. For example, cut out all soda and do 30 minutes cardio 3 times a week. Do that for a few weeks and you will have developed some good habits and you will start feeling better about yourself. Then you can tighten the screws further. If you do it all at once you'll be good for a week, say "fvck this" because it's too much, and lapse back into your old evil ways. Good luck!
