5 Habits That Help You Live Longer
The researchers defined the five good health habits as:
never smoking,
body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2,
30 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day,
a high-quality diet,
and moderate alcohol intake (up to one glass of wine/day for women and, up to two glasses of wine/day for men).
Compared with men and women who lacked any of the five healthy-lifestyle habits, those who had all five had an 82% lower risk for dying from cardiovascular disease, a 65% lower chance of dying from cancer, and a 74% lower risk of dying from all causes during follow-up
