Clean living

The Guardian provides an excuse for an old joke (here):
"It's a simple recipe, but it could add 11 years to your life, possibly more. A study by Cambridge University on behalf of the Department of Health has calculated the formula for longevity. Giving up smoking means an extra five years, moderate exercise three more. Add to that another three by eating five portions of fruit and veg a day. For couch potatoes, a pear a day could make a difference too."

It's not really true - you don't actually live longer, it just feels like it.
