To test the assumption that a healthy lifestyle really adds years to your life, researchers devised a simple study. They looked at the lifespan of more than 123,000 Americans and then checked who had stuck to these 5 daily habits: eating well, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking, and drinking in moderation. Sure enough, the folks who followed all five lived longer, but even the researchers were astounded by how much longer. Women at age 50 who followed all five healthy habits lived 43 more years on average, compared with 29 years for women who didn’t follow any of them. Men who maintained all the habits lived an additional 38 years beyond 50, compared with 26 years for those who didn’t.
