Labor

More evidence that humans are, as a Cornell acquaintance doing post-doc research in NYC once put it (only half in jest), “genetically designed to be half-starved laborers.” A Harvard study of over 2,000 men commenced in 1981 has found that old men are likely to live longer if they: watch their weight, exercise regularly (and apparently, the harder the better), avoid diabetes, don’t smoke, and watch their blood pressure. The men were 72 years old when the study began…suggesting that it’s never too late to start helping yourself. Go you!
