Add years to your life—practically instantly

 So you learned how some of our vices can truncate our life, but hey, it's not all bad news, friends! Here are five things you can do to add time to your life, according to David Spiegelhalter's analysis:

[caption id="attachment_3254" align="aligncenter" width="298"] Fly, girl. Twenty minutes of exercise adds one hour to your life daily.[/caption]

1. Taking a daily statin (cholesterol-lowering drug) adds 30 minutes a day.

2. Drinking one alcoholic drink a day adds 30 minutes a day.

3. Exercising moderately for 20 minutes a day adds 1 hour a day.

  4. A diet filled with fresh fruits and veggies adds two hours a day. 5. Being female rather than male adds two hours a day. Sorry, dudes! So, what do you think? Are these easy adjustments you can do you tweak your regular routine? All images courtesy Thinkstock.
