If You Have Four Unhealthy Habits You Could Die Sooner Than People With One or Two

Today's Shocking Study Finding comes to us from a report in the April 26 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.

Key Findings:

"Four unhealthy behaviors -- smoking, lack of physical activity, poor diet and alcohol consumption -- appear to be associated with a substantially increased risk of death when combined..."

"When compared with participants who had no poor health behaviors, the risk of death from all causes and from each cause increased with each additional behavior."

"Individuals with four compared with zero poor health behaviors had about three times the risk of dying of cardiovascular disease or cancer, four times the risk of dying from other causes and an overall death risk equivalent to being 12 years older."

So, the more unhealthy you are, the sooner you might die.
