The ElderCare Law Firm

According to research from the University of Michigan and Johns Hopkins University, women in their seventies who exercise and eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables have a longer life expectancy than women who are less active and eat fewer fruits and vegetables. The study, published in the Journal of American Geriatrics Society, looked at 713 women between the ages of 70 and 79 and discovered that those who were the most physically active and ate the most fruits and vegetables were eight times more likely to survive a five-year follow-up period than women with the lowest levels of exercise and fruit and vegetable consumption. The study found that 53 percent of participants did no exercise at all. Women in the most active group, however, had a 71 percent lower five-year death rate than women in the least active group.
