Physical Activity

"The world's longest-lived people are nudged into physical activity every 20 minutes."
Dan Buettner

We do so much sitting nowadays.  I think of my parents who would work long hours at a job, and then come home and do the chores and work of a dairy farm.  Health practitioners advocate more activity, and many people have started to exercise.  But, perhaps, it is not an hour of exercise a day that helps us, but activity all day long.  Most of the people who live long and are spry eat plenty of vegetables and move often.  They walk to see friends or to go to the sore, and they do not hire work done.  They do their own housework and yard work.  Body movement throughout the day  is one important factor to longevity.
