New Study: How to Live Longer

A new study out of Stanford University School of Medicine concluded after a 19 year study that they have evidence to support their theory that runner's live a longer, healthier life.

The study included over 500 50-plus year olds that each ran for 4 hours per week.

Now, 19 years later the average run time is only about 76 minutes per week, but the group is still going strong and outliving their non-runner counterparts.

The study reveals that only 15% of the group had died versus 34% of others in their age group who were non-active.

This study is just one more to add to the growing list of reasons why there has never been a better time to start your own exercise program. And if you're already active, keep going and looking for new ways to stay excited about living a healthy and fit life.

Just think about that 30-60 minutes a day you don't think you have right now could end up extending your life by quite a few years - it just may worth your while…
