Move more, eat well...live longer!!! Even modest amounts of exercise and fruit and veggies — along with not smoking — could add years to your life span.

A recent study in the Archives of Internal Medicine tells us what most of us probably already know: Bad habits like smoking, drinking too much, being sedentary and not eating enough fruits and vegetables can age a person by 12 years.
You don’t have to be extreme in your habits to see benefits. Even two hours of exercise a week and three servings of fruits and veggies per day offer a protective effect! Of course, we recommend at least that much, but once you achieve that, aim for four cups of produce and 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day.

Where do I start?! 

Visit the Eat Right concept at Gresham and Wright (next to Classic Comforts in the food court). It's also served at Read for lunch and dinner. There, you'll find low fat entrees, whole grains, and nutrient powerhouses such as fresh kiwi, plums and grapefruit.
