Sun, 3 May 2009 The Magic Formula In this, the last episode of Fitness Rocks, we will review a study from the Archives of Internal Medicine about reducuing the risk of type 2 diabetes in people over age 65. The study looks at the role of the basic lifestyle habits of regular exercise, a healthy diet, not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and moderate alcohol consumption in preventing type 2 diabetes. I have called this collection of lifestyle habits the magic formula because when combined these habits consistently are associated with the lowest risk of developing chronic diseases, like type 2 diabetes.
