The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdfThe good news is that we have tremendous power over our health destiny and longevity; the majority of premature death and disability risk is preventable with a healthy enough diet and lifestyle. Even just basic, common-sense healthy behaviors can mean living a decade longer: not smoking, not being obese, regular exercise, and more fruits and vegetables. And it’s never too late. It’s never too late to stop smoking, to move more, or to start eating healthier.
