...For example, in the EPIC study,  patients who never smoked, had a body-mass index less than 30 kg/m², had at least 30 min a day of physical activity, and adhered to healthy dietary principles (high intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain bread and low meat consumption) had a 78% lower overall risk of developing a chronic disease. This included a 93% reduced risk of diabetes, an 81% lower risk of myocardial infarction, a 50% reduction in risk of stroke, and a 36% overall reduction in risk of cancer, compared with participants without these healthy factors.
