| If a well-lived life is a piece of
art, we are the creators of our own affluence. Affluence is a state
of mind-the passion to surround one’s self with things meaningful.
The “art of living” is living well, embracing life and experiencing
it to its fullest extent. Many
factors can influence our health from our family history to our
social, physical and economic environment to our own individual
coping skills. Some of these factors are, to varying degrees within
our control, but one area where people can influence their health
positively - behavior change. Even small differences in lifestyle
may make a big difference.
If you exercise, quit smoking, drink
moderately, and eat five servings of fruit and vegetables each
day you will live approx. 14 years longer than people who do
not.
