According to a recent study, just walking 30 minutes a day can lengthen your life. Regular exercise helps burn calories and maintain weight. It can also help against everything from type 2 diabetes and heart disease to high blood pressure and stroke.
Your muscles and bones weaken with age; so weight lifting can help reverse this and keep you strong well into your 80s.

ADD TWO YEARS TO YOUR LIFE
Monday, February 23, 2009
Hello
Hello again, I have been away for quite some time because of personal reasons but now am back ready to share more info with you.
I thought I would share info from an article "Simple ways" that can add years to your life.
1) ADD ONE YEAR
Get a pet....or if you have one, play with it.
Research shows that many positive things happen when you interact with your pet. Your blood pressure and stress levels drop-while your mood boosting hormone oxytocin rises.
A less stressed out heart is a healthy one. And dog owners have an added advantage: they walk more often and cover more distance. One study found that heart attack victims who own dogs are eight times more likely to survive an attack than people without pet dogs!
Next time: ADD TWO YEARS
