The lifestyle factors were healthy diet, never smoking, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (at least 30 min\/day), moderate alcohol consumption, and healthy body-mass index.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers found that each low-risk factor was associated with significantly reduced risks for all-cause, cancer, and cardiovascular mortality. Additionally, compared with participants who didn&#8217;t meet criteria for any low-risk factor, those who met criteria for all five had a 74% reduced overall mortality risk.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers estimated that average life expectancy at age 50 was 14 years longer for women with all five low-risk factors (reaching age 93) relative to women with no low-risk factors. Among men, all five factors extended life expectancy by 12 years (reaching age 88).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 3, 2018 @ 08:02 Here is a recent article from the journal Circulation which adds even more evidence (if that is necessary) regarding the remarkable health benefits of following a healthy lifestyle.
