********************
It is well known that males are weaker than females, and this is no truer than in the UK. In England and Wales, 42% of men die before their 75th birthday compared to 26% of women. Anywhere you look the evidence shows that men are less better off than women. Men are more likely to get cancer and die of it. Even in regards to happiness, women seem better off. So what is the reason for this? Well, one important reason is that men are less likely to go and get help when they need it. Men are more likely to drink and lead unhealthy lifestyles. So what is the answer? Well, according to evidence married men do live longer than unmarried men. (by Prof. Simon Smith)

********************
According to a BBC news article “people who exercise regularly are less likely to get a cold” (BBC News, 2 Nov. 2010). The article concerns a study conducted in America. The study examined 1,000 volunteers, over a three-month period, asking them to report how frequently that they exercised for over 20 minutes with enough intensity to break a sweat. The findings showed that those who were physically active on five or more days of the week were unwell with a cold for about five days compared to nine days for those who did little or no exercise.
