Don't give up before reading this message

This is not a healthy life-style lecture, but it could be considered good news for those of you who were thinking - just thinking mind you - of giving up smoking. Did you know that taking up regular physical exercise over the age of fifty is as beneficial for men as quitting smoking? You didn't! Well you should also be aware that new research has found that men who begin exercising after 50 have the same life expectancy after 10 years as men who had always exercised. This recent study by scientists from Sweden's Uppsala University, found that starting to exercise regularly was as beneficial as giving up cigarettes.
