6 Secrets to Staying Young at Any Age
(and they're not what you think!)
If you want to stay young and full of energy, who better to ask than centenarians — people who’ve lived 100 years or longer?
You probably think they'd offer a lot of rules about diet and exercise but it turns out, those have little to do with it. In fact, many people who are over 100 spent their lives ignoring the advice of health experts, yet most of them say they feel about 20 years younger than their chronological age.
Sardinia, a region of Italy, has the most centenarians per capita – 6 centenarians for every 3,000 people – 10 times more than in the US where the ratio is 1 per 5,000! But, the statistics for 100+ year olds will probably surprise you.
For example:
- 37% were smokers for an average of 31 years
- 37% were overweight; 8% were obese
- 20% never exercised at all; 44% only moderately
Yet, these centenarians have lower rates of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke. Psychiatric illnesses, such as depression, are are almost nonexistent.
Why?
According to research and interviews with centenarians themselves, the main difference between them and the rest of us comes down to six key ingredients…
- Zest for life
- Strong family and social ties
- Optimism
- Sense of humor
- Eating real food
- Hard work
People who live to stay energetic and healthy at any age tend to be exceptionally good at nurturing others, giving and receiving love, enjoying life, and refusing to stress out about the small stuff - or anything else.
So it’s actually very simple - happiness is the key to a long life, and research backs that up. Happy people tend to live about 35 percent longer. Positive thoughts and attitudes seem to somehow strengthen the immune system, boost positive emotions, and decrease pain and inflammation.
However, given our high paced lives, life expectancy worldwide is now on the decline. At least half the US population is struggling with chronic illness. Many centenarians think the 21st century lifestyle leaves most people stressed-out, unhappy, unhealthy, chronically tired, and disconnected from each other.
If you want to enjoy a happy, healthy life, managing stress is crucial, and the keys to staying young are quite simple, and available to everyone, everywhere.
