Britain's Queen Elizabeth was the picture of healthy longevity — she not only enjoyed an extremely long and active life, but made it to 96 without being afflicted by cancer, dementia or other health issues that can come with aging. Her lifestyle habits probably contributed to her longevity, experts say. Chief among them was regular exercise. The queen walked with her dogs, rode horses, hiked around the grounds of her estates and otherwise stayed active throughout her life and into her old age. "Probably the single best thing most of us can do for our health is regular exercise. Lots of studies show that older people who are more active live longer and healthier," said Andrew Steele, a British scientist and author of the book "Ageless."
