When The Jackson 5 sang "A B C, it's easy as 1 2 3," they were talking about the pleasure of falling in love.

When I say, "Living younger longer is as easy as FFFF, PPP, AA," I'm giving you the three steps you need to fall in love with your quality of life.

FFFF stands for:

• Fast exercise. Ten minutes of intense movement improves your defenses against disease.

• Fast brain work. Speed-of-processing games reduce dementia risk.

• Fiber. Consumed daily from fruits, veggies, and supplements, it cuts both heart and cancer risks.

• Food choices . Making smart decisions about portion size and meal timing can shed pounds and increase muscle mass.

PPP stands for:

• Posse. A group of friends who have your back helps you live longer and stronger.

• Purpose. Find a reason to get up every morning with anticipation of good things you'll do for others and yourself.

• Play. Frequent fun improves your mental health.

AA stands for:

• Avoiding stupid stuff. Eliminating harmful habits such as texting while driving will keep you from self-inflicted harm.

• Avoiding the Five Food Felons. This means breaking out of the unhealthy prison that added sugar, syrups, simple carbs, red and processed meats and fried foods condemn you to.
