Even though the Holidays bring us a lot of joy, at times it becomes too overwhelming. Especially when brainstorming gifts for a very picky mother-in-law, or someone that already has everything.
However, even though sometimes shopping can become too stressful from time to time, research from Auckland University brings some very good news for shopaholics around the world.

This unusual research was conducted by observing 2,000 elderly Taiwanese people.
Researchers found out that those who shopped every day had a significantly longer life span compare to the ones that enjoyed “retail therapy” only once a week.
The authors of the study explain that frequent shopping trips kept the elderly people busy and provided more social interactions, both activities leading to improved well being.
Another obvious benefit from shopping is physical activity. Walking from store to store and browsing the local mall can be a great workout.
This doesn’t mean you need to spend your life savings on shopping to live longer. Simply walking from store to store to do a little “window shopping” should provide the same results.
Even better, if possible, walk to your nearest shopping mall or a drugstore instead of driving there.

Just barely walking while shopping is the theme here to benefit of your body for longer life.ok nice info
just what I wanted to know.
Yes walking to the shop is something I do most days for exercise. We all need to walk more.
I recall another study a few years ago which indicated that shopping was a huge stressor on the male body, while it was a form of therapy for females. Were the subjects of this most recent study male or female?
Gerry,
The source of a study did not specify the gender of study participants. The older age played a significant role in discovering the positive benefits of shopping as it provides so needed social interactions to elderly community.
Guess this will do if one has to go shopping…
That interaction with other people is very important — so is the walking time
