EAST LANSING, Mich., April 27-Only 3% of Americans follow the four basic healthy lifestyle habits that public health experts consider the cornerstones to a longer and better life.

That conclusion comes from a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. It found that just a tiny fraction of 153,000 Americans surveyed in 50 states abided by all four -- engaging in regular exercise, refraining from smoking, eating five or more fruits and vegetables daily, and maintaining a healthy weight.
