5 easy-to-adopt habits that can help you live to 100 years old

According to Aboluowang , the following 5 simple and easy-to-apply habits will bring you closer to your goal of longevity.

Eat healthy

Valter Longo, a 20-year longevity researcher, said “a healthy diet is the most important factor for longevity.”

The Mediterranean diet, which is most recommended by longevity experts, encourages eating more vegetables, beans, fruits, nuts, whole grains, and less red and processed meat. Longo also recommends fasting for 12 hours a day, such as eating only from 8am to 8pm and not eating anything else from 8pm to 8am the next morning.

Exercise regularly

Experts recommend that you exercise daily to increase metabolism and improve your body's flexibility. Scientific exercise can increase your chances of living to 90 years old.

Residents in the Blue Zones (longevity zones) do not engage in intense exercise, but they do maintain daily physical activity. They exercise by walking, tending flowers, and building things with their own hands.

Have faith

Butner interviewed 263 centenarians, most of whom lived in religious communities (258 people). Those who attended church or temple regularly lived from 4 to 14 years longer than those who did not follow any religion.

Having a belief or philosophy of life makes people happier, and following religious or spiritual beliefs can help find meaning in life, according to Arthur C. Brooks, a happiness researcher at Harvard University.

Maintain positive relationships

An 86-year study conducted by Harvard University shows that positive relationships between individuals in life are factors that increase happiness and prolong life.

People living in the “Blue Zone” also value their spouses and cherish true friends, which is helpful in dealing with people and avoiding bad decisions.

Prioritize life goals and lifelong learning

Okinawa Island in Japan is one of the world's famous green zones. The elderly always prioritize life goals and study, they are busy, feel satisfied every day, and their life is naturally happy.

The way to live longer, as suggested by expert Butner, is to “find a goal for yourself and practice it diligently every day.” Compared to people who lack direction in life, people with a sense of purpose in life can live about 8 years longer.
