Live to Be 100
How to Live to Be 100 and
Stay Active and Healthy
Most of us were taught to believe that longevity is 70% determined by your
genes. Want to live a long life? Get yourself some long-lived parents!
But it turns out that the ratio is actually in reverse. Only 30% of a
person's longevity is determined by genetics. Which means the other 70%
is up to you. 100? Yes it is quite possible…according to the U.S.
Census Bureau, centenarians are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S.
population.
But it's not enough to simply live a long life, you
want to live a life that's long, enjoyable, healthy and active to the end.
Unfortunately, the Centers for Disease Control predict that over half of
us will spend our final years in a nursing home, medicated and unable
to care for ourselves.
The good news is: You can be among the healthy half if you make a few smart
choices now.
Fact is, many of the simple decisions you make every day will determine
whether your later years are marked by dependence, disease, and lack of
mobility or you are still playing tennis in your seventies, traveling the
world in your eighties, and horsing around with the great-grandkids through your
nineties.
Here are seven smart choices you can make today that will help you
make it to your big one-zero-zero birthday in fine shape:
- Add Antioxidants- Our bodies are constantly challenged by
"free-radicals" - substances in the food we eat and the environment around us
that cause the oxidation and breakdown of our cells. Without the protection you
get from antioxidants, these free-radicals can cause a domino effect of cellular
damage that becomes the pathway for cancer, aging, and a variety of diseases.
Incorporate a diet that includes a variety of whole fruits and vegetables or
consider the most powerful and highly rich antioxidant
available.
- Eat an All-natural Diet- Whenever possible, choose foods
that are grown organically, without the use of pesticides and herbicides, and
avoid genetically modified foods. If you eat meat, insist on animals (free-range
poultry and grass-fed beef and bison) raised on their natural diets. If you eat
fish, stick with those known to be free of pollutants. Limit your consumption of
refined sugars and processed starches. And be sure to drink plenty of fresh,
purified water.
- Resistance Exercise There are many studies showing that
resistance exercise (i.e. weightlifting and calisthenics) increases muscle size
and strengthens bones. This is especially important as we get older, because the
loss of muscle mass and bone density is a common "side effect" of aging.
Resistance exercise also increases stamina, reduces fat, and rejuvenates the
hormone systems.
- Stretch for Health- There is nothing better for beating the
aches and pains of an aging back, shoulders, joints, etc. than a combination of
yoga and Pilates or in-home daily stretches. Use a daily stretch regime to
become increasingly flexible and eliminate aches and pain.
- Fire up Your Brain Cells- The brain is often likened to a
muscle in that it gets stronger with exercise. Stay mentally active ie, learn a
new language, write or keep a journal, work actively on a business or hobby or
part time venture. Become active in a local program where you can contribute
time and skills.
Brain cells talk to each other through chemicals known
as neurotransmitters. The New York Times cites studies indicating that if you
stimulate your brain, you can increase those important contact points by as much
as 20%.
- Eliminate your Stress- Tall order? Try this: make a list of
the most bothersome, people, or situations that are aggravating you. Then create
a plan to heal, eliminate or radically reduce you involvement.
- Quality Sleep- Most of us need at least six hours to
function properly. To get the full benefit of the restorative effects of sleep
follow the tips I’ve give in earlier newsletter or visit
this helpful site.
Follow
and incorporate the above smart choices and It’s probable you will enjoy a long
high quality healthy lifespan.
