I've Got 4 More Years -- Thanks to Exercise

Aside from what you eat, exercise is the other key to good health according to my holistic MD, Dr. David Brownstein.

As reported in the Journal of Aging Research,  a number of studies revealed that there was a wide range of extra years found for active versus nonactive people, from less than half a year in one study to close to seven years in another.  Combining the studies, the median increase of life expectancy of men and women amounted to 3.7 years each.

And it turns out your intention when exercising matters. So if you are choosing to exercise, instead of sitting in front of your computer, as opposed to exercising as part of your normal physical routine, it will increase life expectancy more effectively.

If you are a runner or an endurance athlete you get an extra 2.8 to 8 years compared to non-runners. 

Plus you get points for other healthy behavior. If you eat well, don't smoke, and are generally physically active you can have 11.1 more years than those who don't have those healthy habits. That's a lot of extra years.
