"Getting regular check-ups and undergoing screening tests are not enough as you grow older. To truly prevent some diseases or to minimize their progression, your best bet is to follow healthy lifestyle habits. Deepening your knowledge about the biology of healthy aging gives you more control. Understanding what drives your health gives you the power to be a better advocate for yourself and influence how you age." - Donald D. Hensrud, M.D., M.P.H., associate professor of preventive medicine and nutrition and director of the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program, Rochester, Minnesota.
