How to Live Longer
Just came across Why We Age. It has a nice, simple page called How to Live Longer with five simple-on-the-surface steps. I’ve included all of the text for the last one to give you a feel for the writing.
- Step one - Eating for a long life
- Step two - Exercise your body into a long life
- Step three - Learn the lessons of the hundred year olds. Don’t stress
- Step four - Sleep
- Step five – Develop strong and loving relationships
It has been shown that individuals who live longer also have a higher likelihood of being surrounded by loved ones. They tend to get married, have children and have a close circle of friends. These individuals therefore have emotional support around them in times of stress and hardship. All of which means that their levels of stress, are reduced. Reduced stress causes a cascade of other benefits to the body:
A reduction in the levels of damaging hormones, such as Cotosol
Deeper and more effective sleep
A reduction in blood pressure
A strengthening of the immune system
Have a look.
