The above attention-grabbing title is from the Washington Post’s Well+Being website. The article suggests that making tiny changes in eating, sleeping and exercise may add a year or more to lifespans.

It sounds easy…according to Australian researchers, just add five minutes of sleep, two minutes of exercise and half a serving of vegetables daily to your existing routine and you’re all set.

University of Sydney Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis claims, “We’re talking about four extra pieces of broccoli at dinner…”

Bottom line: with at least 7.2 hours of sleep plus 42 minutes of physical activity daily and a high-quality diet (in theory) translates into nearly 10 additional years of good health.

Sounds easy.
