Need yet another good reason to floss your teeth regularly---how about adding 6.4 years onto your life? I think I may have FINALLY convinced my husband of its merits after years of defending my dental hygiene regimen (I've also only ever had one cavity in my 40+ years, btw).Flossing was just one item in a recently published study of easy things we can do to stick around a bit longer on this great planet. Here is a sample of some of the others:
*Get a hobby + 2 years
*Take vacations + 1-2 years
*Sleep in + 2 years
*Lose the flab + 3-4 years
For the complete list and more details from the study, see here.
