Leaving your house and going on a walk to the local shops every morning could help you live longer, new research suggests.
Scientists claim the benefits of putting your shoes on and heading out the door are similar to that of cholesterol-busting statins.
Analysing data from adults in their 70s, 80s and 90s, researchers discovered going outside more boosted their lifespan.
For 78 year olds who ventured out every day, they were 28 per cent more likely to reach 85 than those who only went out once a week.
