Never Too Late for a Fresh Start
So you spent your youth smoking, eating doughnuts, or keeping the couch warm. Don't despair.
There are four simple steps middle-aged people can take to lower the risk of death in the ensuing four years by 40 percent -- even if they haven't been a health superstar to date.
Live the Good Life
Make these modest changes to start undoing all the unhealthy things you did before:
* Eat more than five servings of fruit and vegetables daily.
* Walk at least 2.5 hours a week.
* Shave your BMI to under 30; 24.9 is ideal.
* Quit smoking.
All Four Is Best
Try to take all four changes to heart -- it's your best shot at lowering your risk of heart disease. But tackling even one or two items will still have an impact on your longevity
