According to statistics, the U.S. has the highest death rates for avoidable and treatable conditions. It also has the highest rate of people with multiple chronic conditions.

We’ve all heard to eat right and exercise as the best ways to get healthier. But health experts say there are some easy, sneaky and science-backed ways to do just that.

One study found people who commuted to work by bike had a lower risk for certain cancers and heart disease.

A U.K. study found people who climbed 50 stairs a day reduced their risk of cardiovascular disease by 20 percent.

Experts say a Stairmaster in the gym is good, but real stairs are the best because you also get to go down them, which activates more muscles.

“If you work in a building that has multiple flights of stairs, maybe you could just go walk up and down the stairs a few times while you’re at work,” suggested Stephanie Nickitas, owner of CrossFit Winter Park.

A 10-year study found that more exposure to green and blue spaces, such as living near a park or a lake, lowers a person’s chances of developing a mental health condition.

“Mental health is about being able to find a joy or a contentment in something simple,” explained psychotherapist David Baker.

Research also shows exposure to sunlight is beneficial. It can lessen your risk for type one diabetes, multiple sclerosis, high blood pressure and some forms of cancer.

In general, experts recommend 10 to 30 minutes of midday sunlight, several times a week.

Another study found those who meditated had lower bad cholesterol and less inflammation compared to those who did not.

A Dutch study found those who took a cold shower every morning for a month were 30 percent less likely to take time off from work for sickness.
