If you’d like to live a little longer – run for your life!


Running is a primal human instinct – and it’s really good for us... 

Results from a new Danish study found that jogging each week could actually add 6 years to your life. And if you’re not big on running – here’s some good news: You won’t have to run too far. The researchers looked at the lifespans of non-runners, moderate runners and long-distance runners and the moderate group had the best old-age statistics. Those runners ran between 1 and 2.5 hours a week at a slow-to-average pace. 

The bottom line: Just 1 hour of casual jogging per week can have a significant impact on your health and lifespan. That’s just 20 minutes 3 times a week.
