Reconsider your food choices
A diet rich in processed meat has been linked to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and colon cancer. Limit your intake as much as possible. Eat lots of veggies, fruit, fish and whole grains, and avoid simple carbs, such as pasta and sugar, In a 2013 Annals of Internal Medicine study, women who followed a Mediterranean-style diet were 40 percent more likely to live past 70 without major chronic illness than those with less healthy diets.
