Life expectancy = 99 years.

So maybe it that initial feeling was wrong.

But it doesn't consider that I take resveratrol pills, so + 40% = 140 years.

While coffee does have some antioxidants, it also dehydrates your body --> higher blood pressure and cholesterol. Tea doesn't do this. You should drink two extra glasses of water for every cup of coffee you drink.

Well I guess that's why I'm 99 and not 100, lol.

Take up smoking. :thumbsup:

Nah. I plan on doing some hard drugs in my late 60's though. That should bring me down a bit.

80. I think it might be the industrial/smoggy area I live in and the fact I don't remember my cholestoral levels. Just that the doctor said it was ok.

Didn't really care for their privacy policy.

Last thing I need is for some of my answers to find their way into the hands of insurance providers....

78! Who wants to live forever? I get 3 more years for getting hitched, which I'm doing this Spring anyway. +5 years for exercising one more day a week, now that one i'll do too. So with a little effort (and I stress little) I get 86 which is the age of my surviving grandparent.

Your calculated life expectancy is 88 years old.

Suggestions were expected... stop smoking, stop drinking, stop stressing and give up coffee.

as if....

93 here, apparently. Not sure how accurate that'll end up being, given the amount of splenda and caffeine I pump into myself on a daily basis.

79. But it said I would live 3 yrs longer if I got married... I'm engaged so I figure I've got that down. There were a lot of other things it says I should do that I'm planning on doing (working less, exercising more etc) that I'm going to do once I finish school.
