People with Healthy Hearts Live 14 Years Longer
By Drishya Nair | Nov 06, 2012 02:01 AM ESTA new research suggests that one can add up to 14 years to their life if only they possess a healthy heart by the time they reach middle age.

"We found that many people develop cardiovascular disease as they live into old age, but those with optimal risk factor levels live disease-free longer," said John T. Wilkins, M.D., first author of the study. "We need to do everything we can to maintain optimal risk factors so that we reduce the chances of developing cardiovascular disease and increase the chances that we'll live longer and healthier."
