ART DOES THE BODY GOOD - ITS OFFICIAL!


 ......and apparently even more so if your a man!

A recent study found that men, not women, who participate in cultural activities are happier and healthier than men who don't take in the occasional exhibition. Conducted at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the study found that all cultural pastimes, be they musical, theatrical or artistic, are associated with good health in men. Church attendance and sporting events led to increased life satisfaction for women (!) is shopping classified as a sport in Norway do we think??

Gender aside, the more activities a person participated in, the happier he or she tended to be. The study may result in a new class of man – one that ditches TV and other sedentary activities in favour of Museum and Gallery visits........
