Never smoking
Maintaining a healthy weight,
(BMI <30)
Physically active (3.5 hours/week,
30 min/day)
Healthy eating habits (three
markers)
– High intake of whole grain breads
and cereals

Get adequate rest
Get regular physical activity
Choose healthy fats such as eating nuts daily
Eat more whole-grain breads and cereals
Maintain a healthy weight
Eat more plant based foods
Be free of dependence on tobacco, alcohol,
and illicit drugs
Adequate Sleep: Goal #1
Individuals who get 7-8 hours sleep
daily have:
– Better physical health -- the body’s
health and reserves are restored
during rest
– Better mental/emotional health
– Higher energy levels and
productivity
– Lower mortality rates than those
who get less than this amount
Breslow and Belloc, Alameda County Health Study
Rest and Relaxation
Healthy Living Goal – 1
•
•
In addition to getting
adequate sleep, take
time daily to relax,
have fun, and let the
mind and body
unwind.
Short naps can also
help you relax and
restore energy
levels.
Good Health Practices Study
Regular Exercise: Goal #2
• In most studies, regular physical activity is the best predictor
of longevity.
• On average, every hour you exercise increases your life span
by two hours (Harvard alumni study)
• Active people:
– sick less often
– have more energy
– are more successful at weight management
– cope better with stress and pressures
– have less depression and a more positive self-image
– and live longer, healthier lives

In this study, researchers
found a strong association
with sitting time daily and risk
of mortality.
As sitting time increased to
50% or more of each day, the
risk of death from any cause
increased by 11-54%.
In addition to regular exercise,
don’t sit for long periods of
time. Take frequent activity
breaks to lower your risk.
Sitting time each day
Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise 41:998-1005
Sedentary Time Increases Risk
Conclusion: Sedentary time is associated
with an increased risk of diabetes,
cardiovascular disease, and all-cause
mortality.
Diabetologia, 55 (11): 2895
Researchers studied sedentary
levels of 794,577 people.
When comparing people with
high sedentary (sitting) time to
a low sedentary time, they
found:
• Diabetes increased by 2.12
times
• Mortality from
cardiovascular disease
increased by 1.90 times
• And all cause mortality
increased by 1.49 times

Choose healthy fats: Goal #3
Eat healthy fats daily:
•
Non-hydrogenated
vegetable oils
•
Healthy fat foods:
nuts, olives, avocado,
flax seed, soy
And limit all animal and
solid fats.
Coronary Artery
Moderate atherosclerosis
This is what
your arteries
begin to look
like if you
have a high
saturated or
animal fat
intake.
Notice the
thickness of
the artery
wall on the
right.
Nut Consumption and Heart Disease
• Nuts are an example of a
healthy fat. Frequent
consumption of nuts
protects against risk of
heart attacks.
• People who ate nuts
frequently (5+ times/week)
had a 51% reduction in
heart attacks and a 48%
reduction in death from
heart attacks compared to
those who seldom ate nuts.

The Good News About Weight
• If you need to lose weight, even
a loss of 10-15 pounds can make
big improvements to your health
– Improved glucose levels
– Improved blood fat levels
– Improved blood pressure
– Significant decrease in health risks
Be Active
If you can’t get skinny, at least
get fit!
– Besides burning calories,
exercise reduces your risk of
diabetes, heart problems, and
even cancer
– Physical activity counteracts
most of the health problems of
excess fat weight
Choose Lower Calorie Foods
• Fresh fruits
• Vegetables and salads
• Non or low fat dairy or
low sugar soy milk
• Choose whole-grains
– whole-wheat breads
– whole grain cereals
– brown rice
Weight Management Principles
1. Avoid crash diets. Adopt a healthy
lifestyle that you can follow for life.
A weight loss of no more than 1/2
to 1 lb/week is recommended.
2. Choose foods low in animal fats.
3. Limit desserts, snacks, and foods
high in sugar.
4. Eat more fruits and vegetables; 5+
servings per day are
recommended.
5. Choose whole-grain breads and
cereals.
Weight Management Principles
6. Don’t skip meals—it leads to
bingeing later on.
7. Eat a good breakfast, a moderate
dinner, and avoid late night
snacks.
8. Be physically active 30-60 minutes
daily.
9. Get adequate rest and keep stress
manageable.
10. Enlist the help of family, friends,
and support groups.
Eat More Plants: Goal #6
Eat more whole
plant based foods
More vegetables,
fruits, legumes, nuts,
and whole grains
 Less fatty meats and
high cholesterol foods

men followed for 20
years looking at diet
and stroke.
For each increment
of 3 servings of fruits
or vegetables per
day, there was a 45%
decrease in the risk
of death from stroke.
Free from Dependencies: Goal #7
• Free of
dependence
on tobacco,
alcohol, and
illicit drugs
Smoking and Health
• Smoking is the single greatest
preventable cause of death.
• 20% of all deaths in the US are
smoking related – causing 443,000
deaths/year.
• On average, adults who smoke die
14 years earlier than nonsmokers.
• Smoking increases the risk of heart
disease, cancer, stroke, emphysema,
and the common colds.
• In pregnancy, smoking causes birth
defects (physical and mental).
Source: CDC Fact Sheet, Tobacco-Related Mortality
Good News about Quitting
• People who quit, regardless
of age, live longer than
people who continue to
smoke.
• Smokers who quit before
age 50 cut their risk of dying
in half over the next 15
years compared to those
who continue to smoke.

coughing and shortness of breath decrease.
Risk of a coronary is cut in half.
Risk of stroke is the same as a non-smoker.
Lung cancer risk is cut in half.
Risk of coronary heart disease is nearly the same
as a nonsmoker’s.
American Cancer Society
Alcohol
• Alcohol is responsible for:
– 80,000 excess deaths per year
from cancer, high blood pressure,
accidents, suicides, and homicide
• Alcohol consumption is not
recommended
– If consumed at all, limit alcoholic
drinks to no more than …
• two drinks per day for men, and
• one for women
American Institute for Cancer Research, World Cancer Research Fund, and NIH
Drug Abuse
• Street drugs …
– Kill initiative,
– Lead to dependence,
– Damage physical and
mental health,
– Are a major source of
crime in America.
• 37,485 people die from drug
overdose each year (street
drugs and prescription
narcotics)
• Drug overdose deaths have
tripled since 1990 causing 100
deaths daily in the U.S.
• Drug deaths now out
number deaths from motor
vehicle accidents in the U.S.
• Annual costs to society for
street drug use is more than
$181 billion per year in
– Lost productivity (69%)
– Health care costs and
treatment (9%)
– Criminal justice system
and welfare costs (22%)

Summary GHP Study
In the Good Health Practices Study:
– Life expectancy was directly related
to the number of good health
practices followed.
– With changes, the average person
could potentially add 5 years to their
life expectancy.
– Those following all of the good health
practices lived 10-12 years longer
than those who didn’t.
– And, enjoyed a level of health
equivalent to someone 20-30 years
younger.

and Stay Healthy. The five blue zones are as
follows:
• The Italian island of Sardinia
• Okinawa, Japan
• Loma Linda, California
• Costa Rica’s isolated Nicoya Peninsula

Summary by U.S. News and World Report
11 Habits to Live to 100
• Don’t retire – stay active physically and mentally to prevent chronic disease
• Move around – Exercise is the only real fountain of youth
• Eat a fiber-rich diet cereal for breakfast – helps older folks maintain
stable blood sugars
• Get at least 6 hours of sleep - Sleep is one of the most important
functions that our body uses to regulate and heal cells
• Consume whole foods, not just supplements - Avoid nutrientlacking white foods and embrace colorful fruits and vegetables, and dark wholegrain breads and cereals.
• Floss every day – You only have to floss the teeth you want to keep
US News and World Report
11 Habits to Live to 100
• Be less neurotic - don’t dwell on problems or internalize things and
manage stress
• Live like a Seventh-day Adventist - no smoking, alcohol abuse, or
overindulging in sweets. Followers typically get plenty of exercise, are
vegetarian, and make family and community a focus.
• Be a creature of habit - live by strict routines. When your equilibrium
is thrown off, your immunity can weaken, leaving you more susceptible to
circulating flu viruses or bacterial infections.
• Stay connected - Having regular social contacts with friends and loved
ones is key to avoiding depression, which can lead to premature death
• Be conscientious - being prudent, persistent, and well-organized, is a
strong personality predictor of a long life. Conscientious types are more
inclined to choose a healthy lifestyle and follow their doctors’ orders, take the
right medicines at the right doses, and undergo routine checkups.
