lthough good health habits
can’t ward off all illnesses,
they go a long way toward
preventing many major illnesses, such
as heart disease and stroke.
A study in the December 1, 1999,
issue of JAMA reports that men and
women who are at low risk in 3 major
risk factors (good levels of
cholesterol, normal blood pressure,
and not smoking) were much less
likely to die from stroke or heart
disease, compared to those who had 1
or more of the risk factors for those
conditions. People with low risk
factors also had longer life
expectancies.
