How Long Will I Live?

How long will I live? This is a question that I am quite sure that most people reaching the middle age and up asks themselves once in a while. Yes, this question pops up in our head when we see newborn babies or witnessed someone passed away. Leaving this world is a painful truth that every human being would have to face sooner or later. You have to agree that it may be painful to some but not to others depending on how they positioned themselves in the “survival of the fittest” arena. Life is a wonderful gift and living life is really phenomenal most especially if one has access to most of the wonderful things this world has to offer. Would it be nice if we can predict how long we will live in this world? Or would it be better if we just leave it as it is – a mystery that no one should try to answer.

Medical scientists have been busy in the last several decades unearthing the secrets to the fountain of youth. Some predict that the answer lies in the womb of the rainforests yet to be uncovered. In recent years one would notice the emergence of anti-aging food supplements in the market. Food supplements and multivitamins have risen to a multibillion dollar industry in just a matter of years. The practice of medicine can now prolong one’s life but not necessarily including its quality.

It is interesting to know that there is a group of researchers that came out with a life span calculator. The lifespan calculator estimates your life expectancy and you will discover that you may live to be older than you think and a lot longer than you realize. The lifespan calculator calculates life expectancy based on your answer to thirteen (13) simple questions on the aspects of your life listed below.

1. Age and Gender
2. Height and Weight
3. Family History
4. Blood Pressure
5. Stress
6. Exercise
7. Diet
8. Seat belt
9. Driving
10. Drinking
11. Smoking
12. Drugs
13. Doctor’s Visit

I believe this lifespan calculator is being used by some insurance companies to calculate an applicant's life expectancy for computation of insurance premiums. You may or may not take it seriously but I am sure it would offer a little bit of entertainment too. Share with your relatives and friends and see who lives the longest!
