5 steps to add 12 YEARS to your life!<\/h2>\n

The researchers analysed almost 80,000 women and 45,000 men over a 30-year period and found that those who lived healthy lifestyles were 82% less likely to die of heart disease and 65% less likely to die of cancer over the 30 years. Wow!<\/p>\n

Those participants who stuck to all five of these healthy habits saw their life expectancy at 50 rises from 26 to 38 years for men and 29 to 43 years for women. But just 8% of participants stuck to all five!<\/p>\n
