3 tips for how to live to 100
partner
Your behavior now makes
a difference, says new research. Experts recommend these habits:
Get creative at work. On
average, a woman with a creative job has the cardiovascular fitness and
other health attributes of someone six years younger, according to a recent study. What does “creative” mean? Acting, writing or painting are obvious picks, but any job can count as long as you find it interesting and it lets you develop new skills, experts say.
Make sure you cover the basics.
Eating five servings of fruits and veggies a day, being active, not smoking, and drinking in moderation could add 14 years to your life, according to
new British research. Too tall an order? Tackle just the exercise part:
A recent study by the National Cancer Institute found that older people
who got at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week
were less likely to die over the next seven years than those who didn't.
Do something fun.
Women
who are feeling “happy, excited or content” have lower levels of the
stress hormone cortisol, as well as C-reactive protein and
interleukin-6—two markers of inflammation linked to heart disease, a University College London study found. It may not take a Ph.D. to figure out that being happy is good for you, but this is one of the first studies to pinpoint a biological reason. So the next time you're feeling frazzled, make plans to do anything that'll get you smiling.

Stupid tips. The only proven way to increase longevity is to eat very little food. A fire that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

Yes, as the saying goes "You are what you eat" The staff you consume may harm you or add some years to your life. So my friends who consume much alcohol and start having such slogans like "Badala ya kazi Tusker" Should now revard it to "Badala ya tusker kazi" and not just job but new enjoyable jobs, and this will keep the minds alert and fresh.
However to add on, the aging of our cells depend mostly on how much we expose them to heat. So those who take a cold shower have an advantage. So guys practice this and live longer. Or to have an objection?

I hate these stupid lists that list obvious things. Be sensible and most importantly, look at the genetic hand you were dealt.
