Exercise, Eat Right, Live Longer... Really?
Small lifestyle changes can boost longevity.
"People with four healthy lifestyle behaviors -- not smoking, physical activity, moderate alcohol consumption, and eating five servings of fruit or vegetables a day -- live an average of 14 years longer than people with none of those behaviors..."
So in case you needed another reason to quit smoking, start lifting weights, cut back on the booze, and cook up some sauteed spinach with garlic (my new favorite), there ya go.
