One Move Adds 5 YEARS to Your Life

Believe it or not, the fountain of youth might be closer than you think…

A groundbreaking study reveals that a simple activity you’ve been doing since you were a toddler could add YEARS to your life.

And the best part?

It won’t cost you a dime…
New research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine reveals that a daily walk could be the key to a longer, healthier life.

Scientists found that Americans over 40 could add at least FIVE YEARS to their lifespan simply by matching their walking habits to those of their more active peers.

But here’s the really exciting part…

The study found that the least active 25 percent of the population had the most to gain. In other words, if you spend most of your day sitting, you have the greatest opportunity to transform your health.

Think about what that means. Five extra years of playing with your grandchildren, traveling, making memories with loved ones, pursuing your passions, and simply enjoying life…

All from lacing up your shoes and taking a walk.

You don’t need an expensive gym membership, complicated workout routine, or fancy equipment. Just put one foot in front of the other.

And unlike many other health interventions, walking is…

  • free,
  • low impact,
  • suitable for almost everyone,
  • easy to incorporate into your daily routine, and
  • requires no special training or equipment.

Remember, you’re not training for a marathon. Even small increases in your daily walking can make a big difference in your longevity.

Start here:

  • Park farther from store entrances
  • Take the stairs instead of the elevator
  • Walk whenever you’re talking on the phone
  • Take a short stroll after meals
  • Walk the dog an extra block

The bottom line is that when it comes to adding years to your life, sometimes the simplest solutions are the most powerful.

And another thing…
