The 4 Criteria’s for Healthy living

According to an article published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, only 3% of American adults got a perfect score on what the authors say are the four basic criteria for healthy living. The 4 basic criteria are:
1. Do you smoke?
2. Are you able to maintain a healthy weight (a BMI of 18-25, or are you successfully losing weight to attain a healthy weight)?
3. Do you eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily?
4. Do you exercise 30 minutes or more, 5 times a week?
