Baby Boomers - Avoid Health Risks With Diet and Exercise

I called my sister to wish her a happy birthday the other day, and she changed the subject as quickly as possible. She was born near the end of the baby boomer generation and, I guess, she's reached a point where she'd like to deny that she even has birthdays.

If, like my sister, you'd like to reverse the effects of aging, just step on board with a healthy lifestyle. Positive changes like quitting smoking, eating healthfully, and exercising regularly can have a big impact on health ... they can even help reduce your risk of conditions associated with aging.

Even if you haven't been leading a healthy lifestyle, it's never too late to start. U.S. News and World Report has an article detailing how healthy habits can lower your risk of conditions including Peripheral Artery Disease, Osteoporosis, and varicose veins.
