Risks and Rewards of Daily Life
Put down that sausage and start exercising!
One thing has remained the same throughout history, and that is the goal of extending one's life as long as possible. Whether it be Ponce De Leon's search and "discovery" of the fountain of youth or the more recent individuals who freeze themselves in cryochambers after death with the hopes of living longer, people are always trying to extend their lifespan. While neither of those previous options are immediately accessible, here are some activities in your daily life that either decrease your lifespan, or increase it according British Medical Journal:

- Smoking twenty cigarettes each day shaves seven years off of your life.
- Each cigarette shaves fifteen minutes off your life.
- Two-to-Three cups of coffee a day adds a year of life.
- Each cup of coffee gives you ten extra minutes of bonus time on Earth.
- Watching TV for two hours a day cuts your life by one year. The same as eating two sausages.
- Each two sausage platter or two hours of TV kills fifteen minutes of your life.
- Working out twenty minutes a day adds two years of life.
- Twenty minutes a day returns one hour of life.
- Three glass of wine a day takes away four months of a mans life, but sixteen months of a woman's life.
- OVERALL: We live thirteen-and-a-half years longer than our ancestors did in 1910.
