Readers response: What’s one small change you’ve made that’s had a big impact on your physical health?

When it comes to our overall health, sometimes it's the minor changes that can make all the difference in the long run. 

We asked our readers what one small change has had the biggest impact on their health overall, and the response was overwhelming. Here's what they said.
