Live longer

AOL news has a list of things to do to live longer.  It says to floss, because that reduces plaque and bacteria buildup and reduces the work your immune system has to do.  It said the same about antibiotics - take fewer of them because they cause your immune system to work harder.  
It also said that you should have more sex, and love - your body feels good when you're feeling loved.

Then I got to this:

"Healthy, balanced meals emphasizing plant-based foods are important to your immune system, giving you all the requisite vitamins and minerals. One of these minerals, selenium, helps prevent autoimmune diseases. And one of the best sources of selenium is the Brazil nut, although you shouldn't eat more than six a day."

You should eat them, but not more than six a day?  Where do they come up with this stuff?

Anyway, I want to add one:  Stay away from roller coasters.
