Do you want to add six years or so to your life? A recent study found that even slow jogging for just an hour or so a week–spread over two or three sessions–extends a person’s life by about six years. So if you just take an easy jog for about 20 minutes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, you could buy half a dozen more years.

Maybe you don’t like to run, but this really isn’t running. It’s jogging, slow jogging even. Plus, it’s only 20 minutes three days a week. If you prefer, jog slowly for half an hour twice a week. Either way, it’s not much time or even that much effort.

On top of the extra years in your life, it should improve the ones that you live. For me, even a little jogging makes my body feel better, and I think better. My mind grows more clear, and life feels better balanced.

Give it a try!
