      Hmm good question. I think that athletes might actually live a little bit shorter because they train non-stop for so long, and pushing yourself to the limit of what the human body can do isn’t sustainable.

      That being said, people who live to 100 years are generally active so I think it’s very important to be active and do lots of exercise in order to stay healthy!
