Albertans are living longer

Albertans are living longer according to a new report.

Despite the fact 40 percent are obese and diabetes treatments have doubled in Alberta over the past 20 years.

Howard May with the Province says we can add years to our lives.

"Overall lifestyle changes, I think including smoking and eating better and watching how much you drink and things like that all contribute to the big picture."

The report says only 45 percent of women and 30 percent of men consume 5 or more servings of fruit and vegetables a day.
