Older men can prolong their lives with moderate physical exertion in the open air, according to British scientists. Representatives of the strong half of humanity recommended at least half an hour a day to devote to walking or working in the garden.

Such conclusions were made by the researchers, following the state of health and the dynamics of mortality of 1181 British men. At the time of starting work, the average age was 78 years. Scientists also watched the influence of prolonged sitting on the well-being of pensioners for five years. By the end of the study, 194 elderly people had died.

Experts caution those who decide to follow the advice, from excessive loads, report "Days. RU".

Intensive exercise is often more effective than simple activities like walking, but they are far from being able to all in old age.

Earlier, a group of scientists from the United States found a potential source of eternal youth. They suggested that the stem cells of the reproductive organs do not age and can divide an infinite number of times. Experiments on fruit flies have already confirmed the theory, now it is necessary to conduct research in humans.
