A funny thing happened to me the other day when I was reading PLoS, a peer-reviewed open-access journal published by the Public Library of Science. They had this research that explained that you might live an additonal 14 years if you do four fairly simple things…

1. Drink alcohol in moderation
2. Don’t smoke
3. Exercise
4. Eat an adequate amount of fruits and vegetables

Now it’s nice to know that what I have been saying forever has been re-confirmed and you would think adding 14 years to your life would be encouragement enough for most people… but still a lot of people are finding it difficult to do these 4 simple things and that’s kind of frustrating.

Now the really big dilemma I have is should I tell the Fat Guy about this study? Do I really want him around for an additional 14 years?
