What would an additional 7 to 14 years of healthy living be worth to you? Try this activity to find out. Start walking and have a partner select a moment to shout stop! Consider that to be the probability of the length of your life if you have unhealthy habits. Then visualize yourself engaging in healthy habits that will increase the probability of extra years to your life. Take a step and discuss the value of a year added to your life. What would you do with it? What additional experiences would you have? What contributions would you make? Take another step and discuss the second year. Continue until you have discussed all 7 to 14 years of added life. It is all probability, but research clearly indicates that healthy habits will probably add 7 to 14 years to a person’s life.
