There actually is a calculator which tells you what your life expectancy is, after you answer a few questions. The cool thing about this is – that you can take the test online and it is free, with instant feedback.

I was curious so I decided to try it out. It’s obvious in most questions why it is asked and the benefit of things such as:
 Being surrounded by loved ones
 Being positive
 Reduce stress
 Eat healthy
 Exercise

However, I was so surprised with some easy life adjustments that can easily be done and literally add years to your life expectancy. The 5 life adjustments which I like were:
 Adopt good Sleep Habits
 Floss your Teeth Everyday
 Always Wear a Seatbelt
 Wear Sunscreen and Protective Clothing when spending time in the sun
 DO NOT Barbecue your fish, meat and chicken

At the end of the test, you are given your Life Expectancy Age, then you can proceed to the feedback section were you will receive feedback on:
- how many years you can add by changing some of your behaviours, and
- advice and helpful links pertaining to each of your answers. (in this section, I found very interesting the advice on flossing habits and the harmful effects of barbecuing!!!)

Dr Thomas Perls created this test (Living To 100 Life Expectancy Calculator). There are 5 sections – personal, lifestyle, nutrition, medical and family. Most of the questions are health-related, hence you easily have control over adjusting your life habits, to extend your life by a few years for each adjustment …and living to be a healthy individual at 100.
