As I've posted here frequently, not flossing leads to gum disease, which research has shown is linked to heart disease and diabetes.
According to an article in More magazine about habits that help you live longer, flossing regularly can add up two years to your life span.
According to the magazine, you can use that time to train for and run in a charity 10K or marathon.
Other habits include not skipping your workout, not eating like a typical American, and reducing stress.
