Healthy Eating And Living Habits Increase Longevity

New numbers just in on healthy living and eating bring some welcome news... Americans are living 12 months longer than just 10 years ago. American life expectancy went from 76.8 to 77.8 years according to new numbers.

Fewer people are dying from cancers like breast, colon and prostate, heart disease and conditions like HIV. This is great news out of the HealthyPeople 2010 report.
