Walk fast? Talk fast? You may be living too fast as well

Recently, Rigel wrote about "hurry" disease and how to slow down the pace of your life a little bit. Living a fast-paced, impatient life can lead to excess stress, something that's definitely not good for your health.

Here's an interesting way to measure how much "hurry" you have in your life -- your walking pace. No, not your fitness walking pace, which should certainly be brisk, but the pace with which you travel through your every day life. A recent UK study found that people are speeding up all over the world, and that indicates that we may be eating more on the run, not getting enough exercise, and not taking time to relax or to connect with others.

Want to test the pace of your life? Here's the quiz. I'm not really sure how scientific it is, but it may open your eyes to how fast-paced your life really has become.
