A journal article published today examines the long-term impacts of small but significant lifestyle changes—especially to diet In a new report published today in The New England Journal of Medicine , a team of Harvard researchers has revealed the results of a study of 120,877 people showing that small changes in lifestyle behaviors such as physical activity, sleep duration, and TV-watching are strongly correlated with long-term weight gain.
