Interested in maintaining vitality and energy as you age? Who isn’t! Here are several tips for a living a long, healthy life:
- Move naturally and gain years. People who live longer are able to walk to most places they need to go, they work in their gardens, and they are naturally un-sedentary. What can you do? Look for opportunities to move, shut off the T.V., have outdoor activities, do yard work, stand up when you’re on the phone at work, and more!
- Focus on purpose. Why do you wake up in the morning? What do you care about? People with purpose in their lives live longer.
- De-stress. Take naps, meditate, stop and give thanks. People who stop and de-stress live longer.
- Follow the 80% Eating Rule. Stop eating when you are 80% full. Serve food at the counter and don’t put serving dishes on the table. Use smaller plates. Eat a large breakfast and a smaller lunch and dinner. People who follow these patterns live longer.
- Love in your life. Keep your closest relationships strong and close to you. Positive committed relationships are important for living long.
- Hang out with the right crowd. Hang out with healthy people. Happiness, healthiness, and long-life are contagious just as much as smoking, obesity, and depression are…so select your friends with care!
