Sex: +3-5 years to your life

Quick Fixes: some easy ways to add 2-6 years to your life (all but one is about what you do, not your genes which is GOOD NEWS!)

Several scientists believe that people's genetic code is the key secret to one's longevity; however, based on the Danish Twin Studies "less than 20% of how long the average person lives is dictated by genes." In other words, we control how long we live. Some of the "quick fix" tips to add a couple years to your life include:

getting a hobby equals 2+ years
taking a vacation equals 1-2+ years
flossing your teeth equals 6.4+ years
having sex equals 3-5+ years

As random and peculiar some of these "quick fixes" sound (especially flossing teeth) they are all scientifically proven and tested to be beneficial to our lives. It would be interesting to see a list of potential "quick breaks" are, or behaviors that take years off your life. I wonder how many of those are natural things or man-made/artificial things that harm us because I believe a lot of health problems that arise in elderly people are society's fault rather than a natural cause. Longevity has to do with re-evaluating one's life in a positive way. Perhaps examining human creations that harm our health will allow us to re-evaluate society, foods, technology, medicine and so forth.
