Are you aging before your time?

We all have heard several ways to stay healthy. Be it diet, exercise, etc. But here they tell you just how much some of the negatives in one's life does! You might want to think twice before partaking again!

Smoking, drinking, inactivity and diet can age you by twelve years they claim. Well for years or at least every since I can remember all of these items have been on the "watch" list of not to do's. Smoking causes so many problems in and of itself. Most have heard the warnings for this dirty habit. However, when you have been a smoker for years it is hard to quit. Talk to you doctor and find a support group - maybe you can add some years back onto your life!

Inactivity is a "sleeper" problem I think. People do not realize how much harm this can cause to your body. For every one day of bedrest it takes approximately 3 weeks for your body to regain what you lost in one day. Crazy huh?

The diet issue - well need I say more? It is truly hard to eat what we are suposed to. Just moderate and keep trying and hopefully we will all continualy do better.

Aging is hard enough. Maybe this will inspire us to work harder!
