Don't smoke. Get off the sofa and take a walk. Stay away from the junk food. Watch your waistline.
You may have heard the advice before. But did you know that if you follow all four of these healthy habits together, you could decrease your chances of developing some of the most common and deadly chronic diseases by nearly 80%?
After adjusting for risk factors that might influence the development of disease, the researchers learned that those who followed all four healthy habits had a 78% lower risk of developing a chronic condition such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or cancer compared to those who reported none of the healthy habits.
Specifically, in the study, all four of the healthy habits combined were linked to a:
- 93% lower risk of type 2 diabetes
- 81% lower risk of heart attack
- 50% lower risk of stroke
- 36% lower risk of cancer

Hi Gypsy!
Just drifting around your blog and finding it really fun and informative. I haven't forgotten that I'm sending you the Virgin of Guadalupe fabric - hopefully in the next day or two.
