This year I have written about everything from, hunger to humour, and lots in between. But what about living a long healthy life so you can enjoy your success? That’s something to ponder at this time of the year #excess.
National Geographic has an amazing article about ‘Super Seniors’. It focus’ on Sardinians, Okinawans and Adventists from California. These groups of people have the highest rates of centenarians on the planet.
How do these people live longer? The three groups shared a number of habits despite the differences in where they live, beliefs and backgrounds. They all:
don’t smoke
put family first
are active every day
keep socially engaged
eat fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
A few of the different things they did were; keep lifelong friends, find purpose, have faith, eat small portions, drink red wine, observe the Sabbath and share the work burden with their spouse.
Pretty simple stuff that could add 10 years to your life and let you enjoy your success.
Maybe one of these is something worth doing this 2019. Adding one thing a year could be life-changing and easier to do than everything at once.
So, let me be the first one to greet you a Happy New Year! Maybe 2019 be the best one yet.
Kind regards,
Glenn Edley
