Daily Habits That Add Years to Your Life. GOOD ONES! Many believe that longevity is written in our DNA, but research shows lifestyle plays a bigger role than genetics. In fact, scientists estimate only about 20% of how long we live is genetic; the other 80% depends on daily choices. You read that right. It …
