Grandparents Who Babysit Live Longer

Scientists have confirmed that grandparents who babysit live longer than those who don't.

I'll have a whopping 37% lower mortality risk than friends of the same age who have no "caring responsibilities."

They speculate that the time spent with the kiddos creates a sense of purpose and that those little bundles of life, movement and joy create an energy and environment that is healing and healthy.

So, grandparents -- pick-up the phone and offer to babysit. So what if the lil' darlings spit-up on the couch or scribble on the coffee table. You'll have a better chance of being at their wedding.

With a bunch more grandkids due this year...I guess I'm going to live a VERY long time.

Lucky me.
