Default 'Doctor In The Mirror' author Tuckso offers tips for living longer, healthier lives

In a recent lecture, Dr. Reed Tuckson advised Villagers to look in the mirror: "You are seeing the best doctor you will ever meet."

Thank you, Dr. Tuckson, I always suspected as much.

But, seriously, can the same be said for everyone? No, certainly not. He later said that 80 percent of seniors have at least one chronic condition, 50 percent have two or more and 36 percent are battling four or more chronic illnesses.

It seems the opening statement was to make everyone feel good about themselves but it was certainly not true. It's more like those in the mirror are their own worst enemy.
