This study, published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community health (April 6th) talks about how shopping may actually increase longevity. It's stated within the article that "it's also possible that shopping itself could improve health by ensuring a good supply of food for a healthy diet, ensuring exercise by walking around, and providing social interaction and companionship in the form of shopping buddies."
I find this article very interesting because they state that it was only done on Taiwanese people. The people that are actually found to live longer might possibly also be because they lead a move healthy and active lifestyle. I find that there are a lot of problems with this study, however, it is interesting regardless. My grandmother loves to shop! So I wonder if this study is actually legitimate.
