I found this article the other day that I thought was pretty interesting. A recent study has concluded that it is becoming easier for even people who develop chronic diseases late in life to live to be 100. I'm sure you're all asking yourself what the secret is & I'm going to tell you so that you don't have to click on the link (feel free to click if you'd prefer to read it yourself)!
"It's not just luck, it's not just genetics. ... It's lifestyle" that seems to make a big difference, said lead author Dr. Laurel Yates of Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital. A study of men in their 70s found that those who avoided smoking, obesity, inactivity, diabetes and high blood pressure greatly improved their chances of living into their 90s. In fact, they had a 54 percent chance of living that long.
So -- get out there and exercise!
