Eat Right, Live Longer

There is a new drug that can lower their risk of death by up to 25 percent over a 10-year period.

This pharmacy phenom is called … eating well, just like your mother said. Here is the full article from HHS.

Information from a National Institutes of Health/AARP database including more than 350,000 men and women, looked at the link between dietary habits and their risk of death.

They divided the participants into five groups, depending on how closely they followed the 2005 USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

The highest fifth of these scores showed a risk of dying that was 20 to 25 percent lower. There were gender differences, too, with the women who ate the healthiest reducing their risk of death by 25 percent and men reducing it by 20 percent.
