Middle-age and senior individuals who sit longer hours at leisure, could die earlier, according to an American Cancer Society study.

Apart from sugary foods and cigarette smoke, diabetics should start avoiding excess depression too.
A study revealed that overtly depressed adults with type 2 diabetes run a higher risk of having microvascular and macrovascular complications, despite having good health maintenance. Microvascular complications include eye, kidney and nerve complications, leading to blindness, kidney failure and severe numbness and weakness of the extremities and other parts of the body. Macrovascular complications include narrowing of the arteries in the heart, brain and peripheral or leg circulation leading to heart attack, stroke and leg amputations.
