Bad Habits Can Age You 12 Years .

Smoking, drinking too much, lack of exercise and poor diet can age you by 12 years.
The findings come from a study that tracked close to 5,000 British adults for 20 years. Over the course of the study, 29 per
cent of the people with all four unhealthy behaviors died. Only 8 percent died among the people with none of the four habits.
The fact that an unhealthy lifestyle can age you prematurely is not exactly earth-shattering news … especially for you regular readers. But there are two tidbits revealed by this study that just might make your jaw drop to the floor.
Eating poorly, not exercising, drinking too much and smoking does not just age you a little bit -- it ages you by more than a decade. For many, the motivation to live a cleaner life often doesn’t occur until a health issue sets in, but the fact that you may be able to pass as being in your late 40s when you’re actually in your early 60s may help give you that added incentive you’re looking for.
It should be mentioned, too, that those in this unhealthy group were also more likely to die during the study. The most common causes of death? Cancer and heart disease, which are both often related to lifestyle habits

It is crazy how much we harm our own bodies. It takes a serious health scare for many to sit up and take their body seriously, it is such a shame!

These findings really do not surprise me at all, everyone is well aware of the harm poor diet and smoking can have on the body. It is positive that so many people are writing on health concious issues, spreading the word.

Sometimes people do not realize on what they are doing to their body until it is too late. They believe that life is meant to be free from obligations and they should do what they want or like. As I always believe, ignorance is bliss.
