A fun article explaining how your activity and personality may play a role in your longevity. Take the quiz at the end and let us know how conscientious you are. (We scored 41!)
Excerpt:
"The conventional wisdom on fitness isn't quite right. If we try too hard to push ourselves into exercise regimens, it can backfire. Physical activity is important, but it's more about doing what you love than adhering to a certain fitness program.
And for adults who have fallen into sedentary lifestyles, it's not too late. In middle age, "if you can pick up some activity you like — it doesn't have to be going to the gym every morning — that really has a big impact on the rest of your life."
"We're really talking here about the difference between people who become sick and die in their 50s and 60s, versus those who thrive into their 70s, 80s and 90s.""
