Act Now, Live Longer - Part 4

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.

#4 - quit smoking.

According to a study by the national commission on prevention priorities, 42-thousand lives would be saved each year if health professionals told 90 percent of smokers to quit and offered them medication or help.

Today .. only 28 percent of smokers receive such services.
