Get exercising!
A new study shows that it is never too late to start exercising for your health. The research shows that men who increased their activity starting at the age of 50 lived longer than their sedentary counterparts. The effects on lifespan are similar to someone who gave up smoking during the same period. It did qualify though that weight, smoking and alcohol, all of which contribute to lifespan, had to be accounted for, and that diet will also play an important role. Nevertheless, it does point out that using the excuse “It’s too late for me” is no longer good enough. It’s not too late, so get your butt off the couch!
