Of course, you'll go out in a blaze of fire, most likely doing some extreme sport or getting yourself into high-octane trouble. However it happens, you'll enjoy yourself right up until the very end, and your tombstone will probably say something like, \"Died doing what they loved, which was lighting things on fire for some reason.\" If we may offer some advice, though: on your next wild, cross-country adventure, at least wear a helmet okay? And for heaven's sake, slow down a little.

Living Longer (and Better)

Okay, so maybe an internet test isn’t the most accurate way to predict when you’ll die or how old you’ll get. But your answers and results might give you some hints for what to do to make sure you’re living life to the fullest (and safest). Here are some steps you can take right now to make sure you’re on the road to happy and healthy old age:

  • Get a checkup once or twice a year. Your doctor’s job is to find out what’s wrong with your body, if anything, and help cure or manage it. If you never see a doctor, you might miss important red flags when it comes to your health. Even seeing an online doctor can help you stay in tip-top shape.

  • Eat a balanced diet with 3 meals a day. You can totally eat healthy without dieting . What’s important is giving your body the fuel and nutrition it needs to do its job. Some doctors do recommend the Mediterranean diet , which features whole grains, produce, beans, fish, poultry, and healthy fats.

  • Aim to exercise about 30 minutes a day. There’s no need to be a gym rat, but experts tend to recommend about a half hour each day of light to moderate exercise to help your body stay limber, strong, and capable. Try a fast-paced walk, a jog, or swimming!

  • Get around 8 hours of sleep each night. Almost every process in your body benefits from having a good night’s sleep . Proper sleep gives you the energy and awareness you need to make it through your day with flying colors. Doctors recommend 7-9 hours of sleep each night for adults, and 8-10 hours for teenagers.

  • Quit smoking to improve your overall health. Did you know that smoking is the leading cause of preventable death? It drags your body down and can lead to a whole lot of diseases and avoidable ailments. If you smoke, quitting is maybe the single best thing you can do for your body right now.

  • Cut back on alcohol. Like smoking, alcohol can be a real buzzkill when it comes to your health. Experts recommend that adults drink only about a single alcoholic beverage a day, at most. If alcohol is a big factor in your life, consider giving up drinking , for your body’s sake.

  • Spend lots of time with friends and family. Our bodies and minds are inseparable; nourishing one nourishes the other. One of the best ways to keep your brain happy is to spend time in good company. Your friends and loved ones help to boost your mood, outlook, and even physical health! Time to hit ‘em up to hand out.
