"Elderly men can improve their chances of having an even longer and healthier life by quitting smoking, controlling their weight, getting their blood pressure and blood glucose under control and exercising regularly, a study shows."That is to say, get fit.
But the "longer life" stuff is a misdirection since it is what sick care sells and markets aggressively.
Think of "longer life" as a side effect of a "better life."
A chance at a "better life" is what fitness offers.
"Health is a function of participation. Participation is a function of fitness." (tm)
That is the better reason to be fit.
"Fitness is the only REAL preventive medicine." (tm)
Live better and live longer, a winning combination.
