On cnn.com there was a blog posted by doctor Gupta called 'How to Add Years to Your Life'. It talked about the small and easy things you can do daily to add years onto your life and keep you healthy longer. One way he listed was to floss daily, gum disease has a direct connection to heart disease so flossing can help prevent two things, and it was proven to add an extra year onto your life. Another suggestion was to limit yourself to two cups of coffee a day, that would add one more year. Daily small doses of aspirin could add two years onto your life. Checking blood pressure regularly, cutting down work hours to 45 to 50 hours a week and excersizing three times a week adds a couple more years onto your life. If you do all of those things you could add up to a decade onto your life. I thought that this article was cool because of all of the easy things you can do to keep yourself around longer and healthier longer.
