I wouldn't consider "low body weight" to be a habit, but nice to know it's valuable.

I feel like these are all pretty much what everyone already believes. It's good to have studies to confirm and quantify the benefits, but it's hardly news that not smoking is healthier than smoking.

Actual title: "Caerphilly Heart Disease Study"

Five healthy behaviors:

- Non-smoking

- A low body weight (BMI 18–25)

- Regular exercise (30 minutes walking or equivalent, five days per week)

- A low fat diet, combined with daily intake of five portions of fruit and vegetables.

- An intake of alcohol within accepted guidelines (21 or less units of alcohol per week).
