How Long Will You Live?

I was watching CNN this morning when they did a health segment with Dr. Sanjay Gupta called “Chasing Life”. Dr. Gupta was talking about research being done on longevity. You can use an online calculator to find out how long you are likely to live. After you take the quiz you can also get personalized feedback on what you can do to extend your lifespan. Did you know that not flossing your teeth inevitably leads to inflamed gums? Chronic inflammation leads to the release of inflammatory substances into the bloodstream that can clog the arteries. You may also want to look at Dr Gupta’s new book Chasing Life: new discoveries in the search for immortality to help you age less today.
