    Tip of the day: Add an extra 14 years to your life

    Consumer Reports News: March 10, 2009 10:37 AM

    Eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, not smoking, and drinking alcohol moderately could add 14 years to your life, according to British researchers. They looked at more than 20,000 men and women between the ages of 45 and 79. Participants were given 1 point for each healthy habit they had; those with a perfect 4 lived, on average, almost a decade and a half longer than those who scored a zero. Stubbing out the smoking habit had the single greatest effect. Even people with chronic diseases such as cancer or heart disease who adopted good habits lived longer.
