Theres new data on how to take a licking and keep on ticking. Like the old Timex watch commercials, the key to longevity is resilience: the ability to bounce back in the face of adversity, such as the death of a loved one or the loss of a job. But its not always easy to do. For about 20 percent of us, it comes naturally (some research shows the numbers are higher); those people are glad to get back into the swing of life pretty quickly, feeling stronger for having weathered the storm. For others, its a long, slow slog through the blues until you come out the other side. Fortunately, everyone can learn how to gain the health benefits of resilience: less stress, lower risk of heart disease, less depression and anxiety. Here are three ways you can strengthen your ability to bounce back:

1. Cultivate an optimistic outlook, which is a key part of being resilient. For us, looking on the bright side is enhanced with daily meditation. This is how we say bye to the stress that causes grumpiness.

2. Keep your body strong and limber by eating a diet powered by lean protein and lots of veggies, fruits and 100 percent whole grains. When you feel physically strong, your self-esteem increases, another vital part of resilience.

3. Nurture your social connections. They provide security and love, and help keep emotions on an even keel. Blood pressure goes down; ability to cope goes up.

So reach out and touch someone, physically and emotionally.

What do Naomi Judd, Christopher Kennedy Lawford and Gregg Allman have in common? Hepatitis C. They, like 2 million of their fellow baby boomers, were infected with this virus that causes chronic liver disease. And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is sounding the alarm: If youre a boomer, get tested, get treated, get on it today! Why? Because people born between 1945 and 1965 are the segment of the population most likely to have hep C, and yet most have no idea they are infected.

Hep C takes its time chipping away at the liver, and decades can pass without any noticeable symptoms. During that time, an infected person may unknowingly pass the infection to others through contact with infected blood (sharing a needle, toothbrush or razor) or sexual activity. The newly infected person may then unknowingly pass it along, too. And that can repeat again and again. See why we have a problem?

Hep C causes liver disease from 70 percent to 85 percent of the time and can trigger cirrhosis or liver cancer. But the good news is that with treatment, 75 percent of cases can be cured. So go to your doctor for a simple one-time blood test. It checks for antibodies to the hep C virus. If youve got the insidious bug, you need to know what subtype of the infection you have; it changes treatment choices and effectiveness. Knowledge is power the power to protect your health and the health of those with whom you come in contact.

A nighttime charley horse can get you up and dancing, but unlike two-stepping at the club, its no fun. Theories abound about why these painful muscle cramps happen and how to prevent them. Everything from quinine to medications such as anti-anxiety drugs, muscle relaxers and vascular dilators are prescribed. For most, and most of the time, four simple steps will prevent this late-night, foot-stamping samba.

Step 1: Get plenty of vitamin D-3, magnesium, potassium, and calcium (get tested for your blood levels of these and iron, too). Deficiencies are linked to cramping. From food and supplements aim for:
