So basically... anyone who wants to do YC is doing it wrong.
Sure, if you have a stress free life you'll live longer. If you eat 30% fewer calories, you'll live longer as well.* But you'll be poor and hungry.
*Although that was a really crappy study. They excluded all the primates that died from the statistical analysis.
