As it turns out, our bodies have a capacity of about 90 years. But our average life expectancy is 78. Dan Buettner explored "blue zones" - places with a high rate of longevity - to try to figure out how to live long. Here's what he found:
Move naturally. Don't exercise. MOVE. Build systems into your life that make you move. Walk. Garden. Take the stairs. Just move.
Have the right outlook. Take time to downshift. Have a purpose. I like the Okinawan concept of "ikigai" - the reason you wake up in the morning.
Eat wisely. Don't diet. People in blue zones drink a bit of wine every day. They eat a mainly plant based diet - some meat, but not much. And they limit their portions.
Connect. Social connections are likely the most important aspect of longevity. People need to belong. Family is important, but, more than that, so is your "tribe" - the people you surround yourself with on a daily basis.
Watch the video. It's interesting!
