The Department of Health is hoping that by encouraging people to lead healthier lives, in terms of both what they eat and the exercise they take, they will do less damage to their bodies.

Health conscious women may be more likely to take hormone therapy, may visit the doctor more, and exercise more and eat better, and do all sorts of things that might result in better health outcomes.
