An article in The Times  explains some of the findings of a study by Harvard Medical School Professor I-Min Lee about the links between physical activity and life expectancy. Read the article from The Times here: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/health/news/article3592275.ece  and also another from the Daily Mail about the research here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2228939/The-secret-long-life-Walk-2-5-hours-week-extend-SEVEN-years.html

Countryside walks made it into the top 50 things that make us happy. Walking in the countryside made it in at number 25, ahead of eating chocolate, eating cake and the smell of freshly baked bread.
