Your health depends more on your choices than your age...
It’s easy to blame age for poor health — “I’m getting older,” we say when we feel tired, gain weight, or face health issues. But the truth is, age is just a number. What truly shapes your health is the choices you make every day.

✅ Nutrition: Eating whole, balanced meals filled with fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and lean proteins can do more for your body than any anti-aging pill. A young person eating junk food daily may be at more risk than a senior who eats clean.

✅ Physical Activity: Staying active doesn’t mean extreme workouts. Even daily walks, yoga, or dancing can boost heart health, improve mood, and keep joints flexible — regardless of age.

✅ Mindset & Stress: Chronic stress and negative thinking age you faster than time ever could. Choose peace, mindfulness, and positivity. Meditate, breathe, rest. Your mind is the command center of your body.

✅ Habits & Lifestyle: Smoking, excessive alcohol, sleep deprivation, and sedentary lifestyles can harm anyone, no matter how young they are. On the flip side, healthy routines have helped 80-year-olds live like they’re 50!

✅ Preventive Care: Choosing to go for regular check-ups, listening to your body, and being proactive about your health makes a huge difference — again, that’s your choice, not your age.

💡 Every healthy choice you make is a deposit into your future well-being.

So instead of counting years, start counting steps, healthy meals, restful nights, and moments of joy. Because your health is not written in your birth certificate — it's built in your daily decisions.

BIG NEWS! The Biden administration has directed the FDA to ban Red Dye No. 3 in food products, marking a major win for public health. This decision follows years of advocacy from EWG and other public health groups, including the Center for Food Safety and the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), who pushed for action on this toxic chemical. Red Dye No. 3 has long been linked to serious health risks including cancer and behavioral issues like ADHD in children.

Although this dye was restricted in cosmetics in 1990, it has remained in food products, particularly candy and sweets, putting millions of children at risk. Today’s decision sends a strong message that the health of Americans, especially vulnerable children, should always come first.

But this victory isn’t the end of the road. We are continuing to call for stronger regulations to eliminate other harmful chemicals from our food supply. With the FDA’s action on Red Dye No. 3 we’re one step closer to a safer, healthier food system.

If you are concerned about Red Dye 3 and other potentially harmful chemicals, check out EWG’s Food Scores database, which provides ingredient details for over 80,000 products.
