Here's something to think about at our ages ..

1. The inventor of the treadmill died at the age of 54

2. The inventor of gymnastics died at the age of 57

3. The world bodybuilding champion died at the age of 41

4. The best footballer in the world Maradona, died at the age of 60.

5. James Fuller Fixx credited with helping start America's fitness revolution by popularizing the sport of running died of a heart attack while jogging at 52 years of age.


BUT


6. The KFC inventor died at 94.

7. Inventor of Nutella brand died at the age of 88

8. Imagine, cigarette maker Winston died at the age of 102

9. The inventor of opium died at the age of 116 in an earthquake

10. And the Hennessey Liquor inventor died at 98.

How did these doctors come to the conclusion that exercise prolongs life?

The rabbit is always jumping up and down but it lives for only 2 years and the turtle that doesn't exercise at all, lives 400 years.

So, take some rest, chill, stay cool, eat, drink and enjoy your life.

No tortoises in Australia.
There are 250 species of turtles and tortoises worldwide and 18 of them are found in Australia. Two species of freshwater tortoise found in South Australia are commonly kept as pets. These are the Murray River short-neck tortoise or Macquarie tortoise and the Common long-neck tortoise. {google }
