HEALTH Made Easier..

Forget radical resolutions--they just make you feel bad when you drop them. Instead, weave a few of these smart, science-supported habits into your routine. An effortless change can have life-altering benefits.

*Eat dark choclate five or more times a week and you may be 57 percent less likely to have coronary heart disease than people who don't.

*Quit smoking and after five years your risk of cancers of the mouth, throat, and esophagus is cut in half. After 15 years, your risk of lung cancer is as low as that of a lifetime nonsmoker.

*See an eye doctor when you detect vision problems as you age and you could decrease your risk of dementia by 64% compared to people who don't get their eyes checked.

*Get your thyroid checked by your primary care physicians and you may have up to a 69 percent lower risk of fatal heart disease.

*Walk at least six miles a week and you'll help protect your memory as you get older.

*Lose 7 percent of your body weight if you're over-weight and you can lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 58%

*Exercise moderately for 30 to 60 minutes a day and you may have up to an 80 percent reduced risk of developing breast cancer.

PLEASE help one another in some small way today! & SMILE AT ALL :)
