How to prove to others that daily exercize increases life span.

This link about the Doctor Jeremy N Morris is the proof that people need. While it is Dr. Morris's obituary, it gives enough information about his research to prove that exercise increases life span. In the 40s and 50s Dr. Morris studied bus drivers, on double decker London buses that sat on their butts all day, with the conductors who walked up and down the stairs all day long. If you hit the link below, you will see what kind of work he did and how he proved this very important research. Easy to read and understand, it explains that Dr. Morris revolutionized the importance of exercise in our daily lives.. Takes about 5 - 10 minutes to read..
