4 behaviors which contribute to a longer life

Eat healthy.  Have you seen the new plate diagram?  It can be found at http://www.choosemyplate.gov/
The new recommended nutrition guide says fill one half of your plate with fruits and vegetables.  Switch your carbs (grains) to whole grains.  Add healthy proteins and fat-free or low-fat milk. 
The other thing we need to do as Americans is quit supersizing our portions.  I personally think the plate illustration is a better visual than a pyramid.  After all, no one eats off a pyramid.
