TED Tuesday: Healthy Living can be Killer

This video illustrates that you can have too much of a good thing. A. J. Jacobs has read the Encyclopedia Britannica cover to cover, lived biblically for a year, and most recently, tried to be the healthiest person he could for an entire year (which required wearing a "walking helmet"). Unfortunately, his last quest almost had the opposite of its intended effect. It's an entertaining, if not enlightening talk, and relatively brief.
