Introduction
Doctors from a university in London found a new fact. People who do art and culture activities age more slowly.
Main Body
The doctors looked at blood from 3,556 adults. Some people paint, sing, or go to museums every week. These people are biologically one year younger than other people. This is like the help people get from exercise. It is also like the difference between people who smoke and people who stop smoking. Art helps the brain and the heart. It also helps people meet other people and feel less stress. This makes the body healthy.
Conclusion
Art and culture are good for the body. Governments should help people do more art to stay healthy.
