Dr. Richard Flanigan is quoted in Fitness Magazine

"Live to 100" is the title of the Fitness Magazine article which quotes P/SL cardiologist Dr. Richard Flanigan as saying, "Good nutrition can extend your life by not just years but decades." Author Jan Sheehan then gives us ten healthy strategies we can use to "tap the culinary fountain of youth."

Snacking on watermelon and asparagus is just the beginning. Stop by the library and see what the other suggestions are!
