When it comes to healthy habits, we all know the drill: eat more fruits and vegetables, cut down on sugary foods and beverages and get active. But not everyone starts out living a healthy lifestyle, and for some, it might feel like they’re too far behind to get ahead. Do our health choices early on in life matter? And is it possible to catch up if we’ve fallen behind?
The answer to both questions, it turns out, is yes. Being healthy early on, especially as a child, will impact your health for the rest of your life — parents, take note. But even if you’re starting that diet or fitness regimen as an adult, it’s far better late than never. We can improve our health at any age.
