Sat, 4 August 2007 It's Never Too Late - Part 2 In podcast 055 I reviewed an article about how middle-aged people can dramatically reduce their risk of heart disease and all-cause mortality by adopting the four basic elements of a healthy lifestyle - even at age 65! The four basic elements of a healthy lifestyle are: eating five or more fruits and vegetables per day; exercising at least 30 minutes every day; maintaining a healthy weight (BMI between 18.5 - 24.9); and not smoking. This week on Fitness Rocks we are very fortunate to have medical researcher Dr. Dana King on the show. Dr. King is the lead author on the paper reviewed in podcast 055.
