Take the Quiz that will help you live a longer...and happier life
LIFE IS SHORT, but you can STRETCH IT.
That's because 75% of life-expectancy is determined by lifestyle factors, not the biological aging process.
So...how can you know what to do, or stop doing, to have a longer, better life?
Take THE LIFE-STRETCHER QUIZ!
Let's get started!
Begin with a score of 79 years, the average life-expectancy, then ADD or SUBTRACT years as you read each statement and respond YES or NO.

I get annual exams that monitor my inherited health risks.
Every 24-hour day, I get 7-8 hours of restful sleep. I provide weekly volunteer service to people in need. I am in a long-term relationship of trust and mutual respect. I incorporate at least 1 mile of walking into my daily routine. My daily diet includes fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains. I live with, work with, or have friends who smoke. I own and provide for the daily care of a pet dog or cat. I am a spiritual person, and I regularly practice my faith. I use stress management (such as yoga, meditate, hobby, sauna). I consume most of my daily meals in less than 30 minutes. My sense of humor and perspective help me laugh at mistakes. YOUR TOTAL SCORE is an estimate of life-expectancy. |
