Six simple things that increase life expectancy
Fox News as a useful summary available here. I had one issue to raise:
Assuming one works out one hour a day, that you are awake for 16 hours a day, and a zero interest rate, in 48 years you would have spent an amount of time exercising to the increase in life expectancy. Discounting by even a small interest rate would dramatically reduce the number of years that one would have to exercise before the work canceled out the benefit.
In fact, studies suggest that daily exercise can add up to three years to your life. . . .

Of course, if you do a form of exercise you enjoy, then it's a win-win rather than a cost/benefit analysis.
