Avoiding snacks between . Keeping an ideal weight, not too heavy or too . Exercising regularly. 5. Sleeping 7 to 8 hours per night, not more or . Not . Drink two or fewer alcoholic drinks per day. The researchers found that these habits had a powerful effect on health. People in the study who had three or fewer of these habits lived another years. People who had six or seven could expect to live another 33 years. People age 55 to 64 with all seven good habits were as healthy as younger people age 25 to 34 who practiced only one or two of the habits. But how do you change your habits?
