#activity Men, the gap between your life expectancy and women’s life expectancy is increasing! “…the authors found the difference between how long American men and women live increased to 5.8 years in 2021, the largest it’s been since 1996. This is an increase from 4.8 years in 2010…” Why? Covid accelerated what the researchers term “deaths of despair” – suicide, drug overdose, homicide, alcohol liver disease. These are often diseases connected to money issues, depression and/or social isolation. So what does this have to do with activity? Activity – moving your body – is proven to lower stress and improve mood. Get help for whatever is causing you despair but also, go out for a walk, breath in fresh air, find a friend to do a quick workout. Mind the gap!
