How To: Live Forever (Ok, Maybe Not, But Almost)

If you could live forever, would you want to? Seriously, if there was a way, aside from becoming a vampire, that you could live forever and never die, would that appeal to you? I don’t even have to think about it for more than a minute. My answer is heck no. As a matter of fact, I’m looking forward to finally getting some good sleep when I die someday.

I wouldn’t want to cheat death since it’s an important part of life. However, apparently some people want to live forever, and although nobody has figured out exactly how to do that yet, the people over at Greatist created an infographic which details some things to think about when considering your own longevity. They derived this information from studying the people who live the longest.

I’ve heard before that exercising just 10-15 minutes each day can add years to our lives, and this confirms it. I see that dark chocolate makes us live longer, and I’m all over that! I also learned that working no more than 40-50 hours each week adds a year and a half to our lives. Hmm… Do you see that Richard? Dang, we work a lot more than that. I guess we aren’t going to live forever. :)
