Dear Readers,
This week, my inbox has been stuffed full! I’ve had e-mails offering to sell me prescription drugs at pennies on the dollar, emails asking me to help a dethroned African prince get a million bucks out of the country, emails telling me how to get a bigger penis, and one that informed me I had won 860,000 dollars! I can collect as soon as I send in my bank account numbers. Wow.
None of my e-mails this week, however, have been from any of you asking for advice on any particular problems. I’m really glad everyone is doing so well!
But because I need something to write about, and advice is what this column is all about, I thought I’d give you all some unsolicited advice for a change. I was inspired by author Suzanne Forster’s blog this week on this very topic. So I thought I’d pass its valuable wisdom on.
According to Suz, there’s a study out from the University of Cambridge in the U.K., that claims there are four simple things you can do every single day that will add 14 years to your life expectancy. Fourteen years! (Mandatory disclaimer: I couldn’t find any place where this study guarantees those won’t be fourteen years spent wearing Depends brand undergarments and drooling in your oatmeal, but if longevity for longevity’s sake is your goal, this study may be for you.)
