Healthy behaviors -- decisions that we can make any time in our lives -- really do make a difference according to this study. And it’s never too late, because even if we don’t clean up our acts until we’re getting on in years, the body’s ability to heal and strengthen is remarkable. Quitting smoking might be the toughest to control, but there are a plenty of programs, patches, pills, and even inexpensive stop-smoking supplements that can help.

So the jury is in, and there’s no more room for debate. Not smoking, managing our weight and blood pressure, and taking regular exercise -- which plays a big part in controlling weight, blood pressure and diabetes -- are all associated not only with a longer life span, but also with better health and more strength and agility during old age. Even better, these are things that anyone can do if he wants to, and at zero financial cost -- in fact, these five actions will save an incalculable amount of money.
