13 seconds per calorie or 1.5 minute per calorie?

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody,

I have different calculation method:

1. Axiom 1: Max life span is 120. Only calorie intake affects our life span (no other factors such as genetic structure, etc)

2. Axiom 2: After being older than 20, calorie does matter. Namely excess calorie affects life span. Before 20, calorie intake doesn't affect our life span.

3. Axiom 3: Expected life span is 75 for a human which takes 750 calorie more than actually needed within a day.

So simply, our life span shortens 45 years (120-75) within 55 years (from age 20 to age 75).

In this case, 45 * 365 * 86400 sec / 55 * 365 * 750 calorie = 94 secs per calorie.

This means, per extra calorie after age 20, shortens our life span 94 secs.

Interesting...

I am 34 years old now. In this case, Should I fast to compensate my previous 14 years (from 20 to 34)?

Is it works?

Hakan.

So if I'm lengthening my life by 13 sec for every cal.(not eaten) and let'ssay I'm eliminating 500 cal a day, that means 500 X 13 = 6500 seconds or 108minutes a day. Multiply by 7 days a week means 758 min a week or about 12hours or 1/2 a day per week. I then get 26 days more days of life in ayear. So if I've been on CRON for over 3 1/2 years, I should have added about 91days or 3 months to my life. Is my math correct?This is fun to do.on 1/28/2004 9:16 PM, mrbosco78 at mrbosco78@... wrote:> First I have to say that as an engineer, I really appreciate Katrina's> calculations.
