Top Five for Episode #26: 5 Vices That Are Good For You

Good News! There are some vices that are actually good for you. Karly Kingsley's counting down her five favorites:

#5. Sleeping - We, as a society, don't get nearly as much sleep as we should. A good night's rest can boost your immune system and memory, as well as help you keep trim.

#4. Playing Hooky - A mental health day here and there can do you some real good; taking time for yourself is a great way to relieve stress.

#3. Coffee / Caffeine - There's a wealth of research that suggests coffee doesn't just pick you up, it can also fight heart disease and cancer and help you power through a harder and longer workout.

#2. Massages - Don't feel guilty about shelling out for a rubdown. A massage can alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and so on.

#1. Wine - Wine does have a lot of heart-healthy properties to it. Moderation is key, but one 5 oz. glass a day can be good for you.
