Act Now, Live Longer - Part 2

If you're interested in living as long and healthy as you can there is a new study out that suggests easy things you can do to postpone your own death.


The study is from the national commission on prevention priorities and it found that if we all adopted five simple preventive health care practices, more than 100-thousand lives would be saved per year.

#2 - flu shots

The study shows just 37 % of American adults age 50 and over get the flu shot every year.

If that percentage increased to 90%, an additional 12,000 lives would be saved.
