Americans could add years to their lives with just a handful of healthy habits, new study suggests.
The typical 50-year-old American can expect to live another 30 to 33 years. Based on the new study, those who maintain five lifestyle habits could add roughly a decade to that life expectancy.
The key factors include the usual suspects:

not smokingeating healthyexercising regularlymaintaining a normal weight; and drinking only in moderation.
"Our findings have significant public health implications, because they demonstrate the great potential of diet and lifestyle changes in improving life expectancy," said  Dr. Frank Hu,  chair of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health.
The habits are also realistic. For example, moderate exercise  such as brisk walking for 30 minutes a day -- was enough.
"That isn't a crazy amount of exercise." "It doesn't require you to join a gym."

So do something to help yourself.

Most of our decisions in the Middle East, in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Iran helped the Saudis, and other oil producing countries by increasing the prices of oil. A geopolitical missteps one after the other.  We justified by using the unclear phrase of "America's Strategic Interest".

The problems in the Middle East and other parts of the  world is caused by the high oil prices. The extra funds support terrorists all the time somewhere.

We pay high prices for oil, and we pay high prices to defend ourselves against terrorism. Let us break the cycle.

Israel attack on Iran

The White House condemned Iran’s “reckless actions,” accusing the country of “exporting destabilizing influence throughout the Middle East.”
Sarah Huckabee Sanders called on “responsible nations” to pressure Iran to “change this dangerous behavior.”

An Iranian rocket barrage on Israeli positions in the Golan Heights prompted an Israel attack on Iranian targets in Syria. Saudi Arabia is also accusing Iran of providing missiles that Yemeni rebels have fired toward Riyadh.

Israeli airstrikes struck Iranian military installations inside Syria, its biggest coordinated assault on Syria since the 1973  in retaliation for an Iranian rocket barrage on Israeli positions in the occupied Golan Heights.

Comments: We took down Sadam of Iraq with a very high cost of human death and destructions. That opened the door for Iran to be in Iraq.

Now we are trying to take down Assad of Syria, again, with a high cost of Human death and misery, and that opened the door for ....
Who are we helping?
