Some people should not have pets. They’re expensive and can make you sneeze. They require time, attention, and stability.
If you have allergies, don’t make yourself suffer. If you travel frequently, think twice. If you simply can’t warm to the idea of an animal companion, then by all means, forget about the pet.
Otherwise, there are lots of good reasons to welcome Fido into your home, according to Elizabeth Frates, a healthy lifestyle specialist, and Megan Mueller, an expert in the psychology of human-animal relationships.

Warning: Major spoilers ahead for “Succession” season four, episode four “Honeymoon States.”
Sunday’s episode of the HBO drama series brought a new conflict into Shiv Roy’s life.
The new storyline for Shiv raises many questions we hope are answered before “Succession” ends.
In the opening scene of Sunday’s episode, we learn Shiv is pregnant. Her doctor says the “next scan” is for 20 weeks, but we don’t know exactly how far along she is.

Pat Boone shares five tips for living a long, happy and healthy life
At 88 years of age, Pat Boone has some words of wisdom when it comes to leading a long life. “I take no prescription medications and my cardiologist, who is 70, says he wants to be me when he grows up,” Boone told Newsmax. In the candid interview, Boone revealed in 2019 that he eats a healthy breakfast of papaya, whole grain cereal, flax seed, and goat’s milk.
For lunch, he enjoys a “large salad” and for dinner, “white fish, mushrooms, couscous and dark leafy greens”.
Describing himself as “aerobic fit”, Boone likes to play tennis two to three times…
2 Minutes of Daily Exercise May Help You Live Longer
However, a study published in August 2021 in Mayo Clinic Proceedings better coincided with the federal guidelines. It found that people who exercised between 2.6 and 4.5 hours a week (156 to 270 minutes) had the most improvement in life expectancy. They were about 50 percent less likely to die in a 25-year period than those who didn’t exercise.
Interestingly, the mortality benefits diminished in those who exercised more than 10 hours a week, says coauthor James O’Keefe, MD, director of preventive cardiology at the St. Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute.
O’Keefe recommends shooting for 30 to 55 minutes of…

American cities that closed streets during the pandemic to give residents additional outdoor space for recreation have returned most of them to drivers.
Those reopenings are a missed opportunity to improve health if the prognosis from an ongoing experiment in urban redesign in Barcelona, Spain, is any indication.
POLITICO’s Helen Collis reports that Barcelona has seen promising results from a decade-old project to close large sections of three neighborhoods to traffic.
A survey of people living in the repurposed areas found they reported better rest, increased socialization and…
I’m the world’s oldest practicing doctor. Here’s my secret to a long, healthy life
Ask Dr. Howard Tucker about people who want to retire early and he’s incredulous. At 100, the neurologist has been working in medicine for 75 years.
Guinness World Records has named him the world’s oldest practicing doctor. Tucker just recently stopped seeing patients, but he’s still teaching medical residents at St. Vincent Charity Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, heading to work twice a week.
“I look upon retirement as the enemy of longevity,” Tucker told TODAY during a recent video call. He has a computer and smartphone, and is determined to keep up with technology.
“I think that to retire,…
Secrets to a long, healthy life explained – Agweek
I was thinking about longevity the other day. Who doesn’t want a long, healthy life?
As I sipped my coffee at church, I was thinking about a research project we are launching at North Dakota State University. I have included the online survey link with this column.
My 90-plus-year-old church coffee buddy stopped by and joined us at our table. She usually comments on my column of the week.
She inspires me. She lives on her own, drives herself to church and is always dressed stylishly. She’s very witty too.
“How do you come up with new ideas for your…
