I really enjoyed this week's assignment to complete the only quiz to determine our approximate life expectancy. To be honest, I received a higher number than I was anticipating but I guess that could be considered a good thing. I did find it interesting some of the questions that were asked however. Some of the ones that really stood out to me were about flossing your teeth, wearing a seat-belt and the amount of caffeine consumed daily. It seems odd that such trivial things can make a difference on our aging. I especially found it interesting to see the recommended steps to take to add years on to your life. For example, it seems unreal that simply exercising one more day per week can supposedly add up to 1.5 years to my life.
While this survey was interesting and fun to take, I don't believe the results are 100% true by any stretch of the imagination. There are a lot of variables that go into a person's aging. The fact that I am only 20 years old also adds to the fact that it is hard to determine my set lifestyle habits and potential longevity at this point in time.
