More on Longevity

Check out this great slideshow from AOL Health. They address the pertinent question on many people's minds--how can I live longer? Besides the obvious things like "quit smoking" and "get more excercise" they gave some interesting advice. My favorites included: getting a pet, as caring for another living being is great for mental health. Eat more fish--omega 3 fatty acids are key to longevity. And lastly, limit alcohol consumption to less than 4 drinks per day--which should be doable for most people unless they are in college.

Up tommorow: I will be looking at vitamin consumption: can too much be bad for you?
