Scientific studies have uncovered the secrets of living longer -- and a good sex life, eating chocolate and positive thinking are all in there.
In fact, those who indulge in life's little pleasures are shown to outlive miserable abstainers in any number of studies.


But living as long as possible is, according to one piece of research, also dependent on making healthy choices and by adopting just four healthy behaviors -- regular exercise, not smoking, avoiding alcohol abuse and eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day -- you could add 14 years on to your life.


Research has also shown that a healthy weight, religion and staying out of debt are all other all ways of ensuring you have a long, happy life.
