"Combined effect of not smoking, healthy eating and exercise is tremendous
This web magazine is famous for its posts on things like HMB, hydroxypropyl-distarch phosphate of waxy maize starch, Silybum marianum and DHA, so you'd be forgiven for thinking that you can only attain health if you've got an advanced degree in some esoteric subject. But of course that's not the case. According to a study done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, USA, just sticking to three simple lifestyle rules can have a dramatic positive effect on your health.
The researchers will soon publish in Preventive Medicine the results of a study in which they followed 8375 Americans over the age of twenty for nearly six years. The researchers knew whether the participants smoked, what they ate and whether they exercised.
So they were looking at three characteristics. The participants who didn't smoke scored well for the 'low risk' category. The researchers measured the quality of the participants' diet according to criteria such as variety, salt, vegetable and fruit intake. Participants in the healthiest 40 percent scored as low risk. And thirdly the researchers measured how minutes of moderately intensive or intensive exercise the participants did each week. Those who exercised for over 150 minutes a week also scored for low risk.
In the table below you can see that not smoking was the lifestyle factor that weighed most heavily. The mortality risk of non-smokers was 56 percent lower than that of smokers. In second place came exercise, and third diet."
