<\/p>\nI’ve just taken alife expectancy test which gives my expected life expectancy as:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Which is not bad, but not great. The feedback was interesting, particularly the bit about alcohol, which to be honest was a bit fo a shocker! I know I drink a bit too much generally, however I don’t get wasted every night or anything, but 15 years, wow! <\/strong> It’s going to be hard to get red meat to 1-2 days a week on the Zone Diet. And I’d struggle to do Crossfit more than 5 days a week max.<\/p>\n So basically, it’s the booze, which to be fair I knew already. In the last 6 months I’ve sorted out my eating (The Zone Diet Plan) and exercise (Crossfit) and next on the list is to knock the booze on the head, well…. maybe not completely! \ud83d\ude09 The plan is actually to drop down to only having a drink on the weekend, one day.<\/p>\n I’ve just gone back and re-taken the test, this time putting what my answers would have been 6 months ago before started Crossfit and before starting the Zone Diet. There’s the result:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That’s astonishing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve just taken alife expectancy test which gives my expected life expectancy as: Which is not bad, but not great.
