Whether you exercise, <a title=\"Super Foods\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/topics\/Super-Foods\/\" target=\"_self\">eat your Super Foods <\/a>and pop your multi-vitamin daily with the intention of extending your life, to ward off disease or to feel great about yourself, there is a new calculator which can predict how long you live. This calculation is based on a number of factors.<\/p>\n<p>A little more scientific\u00a0than spending $75 on psychic reading, <a title=\"Living to 100\" href=\"http:\/\/www.livingto100.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Living to 100 Life Expectancy Calculator<\/a> uses the most current and carefully researched medical and scientific data in order to estimate how old you will live to be.\u00a0And it&#8217;s free! The calculator\u00a0was created by Thomas Perls M.D., MPH\u00a0who\u00a0is the founder and director of the New England Centenarian Study, the largest study of centenarians and their families in the world.<\/p>\n<p>If this sounds a bit intimidating, take comfort in knowing that if you score lower than you would hope for, there are tons of <a title=\"healthy lifestyle\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/category\/healthy-lifestyle\/\" target=\"_self\">lifestyle<\/a> and medical preventive measures you can take to ensure that you live a long and healthy life. And the feedback at the end of the calculator points out these areas that could help add a few more years to your life.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The online calculator poses a series of questions to you based upon your personal life, lifestyle, nutrition, and medical history. The questionnaire takes about 10 minutes to complete and believe me, it&#8217;s a fun and informative way to see how your lifestyle habits and family history are enabling you to lead a healthy (or not-so healthy) life. Once your age is calculated, you can also receive additional feedback on each section of the questionnaire that you scored low on. For instance, I scored a bit low on my calcium requirements so it was suggested that I up my calcium intake via more dairy and supplements.<\/p>\n<p>The questionnaire is not your crystal ball into the future, but it does provide you with a little glimpse into how your future is intricately dependent upon your present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever wander how the acute care that you apply to your lifestyle is extending those nine lives of yours?
