Bad Habits Can Age you by 12 Years, Study Suggests

I saw this article on Yahoo! and I totally agree with maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and these are definitely great points:

"The risky behaviors were: smoking tobacco; downing more than three alcoholic drinks per day for men and more than two daily for women; getting less than two hours of physical activity per week; and eating fruits and vegetables fewer than three times daily."

However, later in the story, it has this quote:

"The U.S. government generally recommends at least 4 cups of fruits or vegetables daily for adults, depending on age and activity level; and about 2 1/2 hours of exercise weekly."

Wait, what? The U.S. government? Just saying.
