Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 MELBOURNE: Want to live till 100 years of age? Well, do regular exercises, be married, wash hands and brush your teeth everyday. That's what a new book, 'The Long Life Equation', by Dr Trisha Macnair suggests. In the book, the author has listed activities that add years to your life. Macnair said washing your hands adds two years, and good dental hygiene can add six more years in your life. But smoking, fast food, no exercise and a stressful life can strip away 20 years. " There's no doubt younger people take life and health for granted - more than any generation before, they idle time away watching TV or playing computer games, ignoring the activities that keep them healthy or develop meaning in their lives, " Courier Mail quoted Macnair, as saying. " As we get older and start to feel the years slipping away, we suddenly realise how precious it is. " But by then we may have already established habits (smoking, drinking, obesity, lack of exercise, stressful occupations) which take their toll and are difficult to reverse.
