Who doesn’t want to be healthy and live for hundred years? This is a desire almost everyone has but looks like an impossible goal.
Many young people are aiming to live a long and healthy life by eating healthy and going to the gym.
But is this really the secret of a hundred years life?
One of the things that should be considered is that while these people try to be careful with their eating habits and right exercises, they ignore their mental health and let the stress be part of their life.
So, in order to live a life like that, you should follow the secrets of these people who lived to be 100.
We know for a fact that stress is a common denominator for many (most?) serious illnesses. The best stress-buster is a positive state of mind, which is perhaps the most crucial factor to living a long and healthy life.
Lynn Peters-Adler, J.D., a contributor to Next Avenue and Forbes writes:
“Almost all of the centenarians we spoke to believe a positive yet realistic attitude is critical throughout one’s life and described themselves as optimistic people.”
Whether it’s reading the news, doing crossword puzzles, or playing cards, many seniors and centenarians prioritize keeping their mind active.
Dr. Dale Bredesen, an internationally-recognized expert in aging and neurodegenerative diseases, enrolls his patients in scientifically-validated brain training programs.
Dr. Henry Mahncke, CEO of Posit Science, who works with Bredesen’s patients, says: “There’s an emerging consensus that we need to treat neurodegenerative disorders with a (diverse) approach tailored to the individual, rather than a silver bullet.”
John and Charlotte Henderson, 104 and 102, have been married for 77 years. Mr. Henderson is the University of Texas’ longest-living former football player, having played beginning as a freshman in 1932.
When asked about their “secrets,” Mr. Henderson replies “Living in moderation. We never overdo anything. Eat well. Sleep well. Don’t overdrink. Don’t overeat. And exercise regularly.”
His wife adds her opinion: “We had such a good time when (he) retired. We traveled a lot. We just stay busy all of the time, and I’m sure that helps.”
