Slash Your Risk of Disease by 80 Percent

Yale University Preventive Medicine expert Dr. David Katz says he has a four-step approach to keep disease away. His technique involves a change in diet, exercise, no smoking, and weight-control. Master the skill-set to bring these areas in line, and we'll have longer and healthier lives. If you believe genes play the leading roll, or that environmental factors mean we're probably going to die younger than we thought, Dr. Katz says he has data to show you otherwise.

We'll send his newest book, Disease Proof, to your home, as a thank you for your gift to keep WNPR shows on the air. Pledge online.
