让你显老的四大杀手

 Four common bad habits combined — smoking, drinking too much, inactivity and poor diet — can age you by 12 years, sobering new research suggests.

一项最新研究结果让人警醒：吸烟、酗酒、缺乏运动和饮食不合理这四个不良习惯会让你看上去老12岁。

The risky¹ behaviors were: smoking tobacco; downing more than three alcoholic² drinks per day for men and more than two daily for women; getting less than two hours of physical activity per week; and eating fruits and vegetables fewer than three times daily.

这些高风险行为包括：抽烟、男性每天喝酒超过三杯或女性每天喝酒超过两杯、每周运动不足两小时以及每天吃水果和蔬菜少于三次。

The findings are from a study that tracked nearly 5,000 British adults for 20 years, and they highlight yet another reason to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
