Athletes get exercise and probably have a healthier diet, especially at that level. Living longer is not surprising.

Yea their whole livelihood is making themselves as fit and healthy as possible.

Well, I don't think health is really the goal, merely a pleasant side effect in most cases.

Some push their bodies beyond what is healthy too, still better than people that don't practice sports ofc
