Literal Steps to Longer Life

On the show we started off with the question how could 2020 get any worse? The internet brought us some funny answers and we even had some of our own. Like Marcy’s, she said, if the world ran out of cheese that would make 2020 worse for her.

In the 8 o’clock hour we shared that a study shows that taking more steps per day show an increase in lifespan. Whether those steps come from walking, running, or throughout the day at work is proven for longer life.

To see the article with stats about the amount of steps per day and how those increase lifespan click HERE.
