Need an incentive to  eat healthier ? A new study suggests that people who make even small tweaks in their diet to make it healthier over time may live longer. Researchers found that a 20-percentile increase in people's diet-quality scores was linked with an 8 to 17 percent reduction in  a person's risk of death  from any cause over a 12-year period, according to the findings published online today (July 12) in The New England Journal of Medicine. A "20-percentile increase" in diet quality means, for example, that a person had an increase of 22 out of a possible 110 points in one of the objective diet scores used in the study.
