Living Longer Only Takes a Little
In a large European project involving half a million people in 10 countries, the impact of exercise, diet and other habits on health and longevity has been examined. The Reuters Health report on some of the study findings relays that it only takes a little to live longer. Any increase in physical activity is beneficial and consuming just one additional serving of healthy food a day can make a difference.
“If you cumulatively take a lot of these behaviors such as increasing fruit and vegetable intake, increasing physical activity very modestly and stopping smoking cumulatively they are associated with something like a 12-year difference in terms of chronological age and life expectancy,” said [ Dr Kay-Tee ] Khaw [of the University of Cambridge.]
What a significant endorsement for the natural health and wellness lifestyle!
