9 Secrets Of Longevity by Nobody: 5:30am On Oct 27, 2012 |
For anyone wishing to live forever, or close to it, here are some tips. ----- 9 Secrets of Longevity As Buettner and his team studied the Blue Zones, they identified nine common traits shared by those communities where people live longer. He was surprised that it wasn’t only food and lifestyle, but also creating a most beneficial environment. Here’s a look at these longevity-boosting traits, known as the “Power of 9.: 1. Move naturally. “Do your own house and yard work, go up and down your stairs with your laundry, knead your own dough,” Buettner advises. “Incorporate more movement every hour.” 2. Know your purpose. “Take time to recognize your values, strengths, talents, passions and gifts,” Buettner says. Reflect, and work on yourself. 3. Down shift. Relieve chronic stress by finding time each day to nap, meditate or pray. 4. The 80% rule. Cut 20 percent of your daily calories with proven healthy practices: eat a big breakfast, dine with your family, and begin each meal by expressing appreciation. 5. Plant slant. Eat mostly plant-based foods, and small portions of meat no more than twice a week. 6. Wine at 5. Drinkers live longer than non-drinkers. This longevity tip had one exception: those in the Loma Linda Blue Zone were Seventh Day Adventists, who abstain from alcohol. 7. Family first. Living in a loving, thriving family can add up to six years to your life. Work on a positive, committed relationship and stay close to your aging parents and grandparents. 8. Belong. “Those with the most social connectedness tend to live longer,” Buettner says. Be part of a group of healthy-minded, supportive people. 9. Right tribe. Good friends have a positive effect on your longevity. Support them and adopt healthy behaviors together. For More On Bluezones: Where People "Forget to Die" 3 Likes |

A man won't live a second more than when his Creator has ordained him to die. Levi ajonomah, Dagrin, Pastor Bimbo, and others probably did all this and more but they all worked up to there death. Just live your life and remain true to yourself. Death can come at just any time. 7 Likes |

NUMBER 10 Eat your GARRI with lots of vegetables and don't ban people from expressing their love for GARRI!!! Accept the GARRI lovers on Nairaland they are your customers you know? Keep banning them and they may just leave you for another.

I do not agree with 5. In fact you should eat more meat! The key to longer life is have a low calorie diet! |

Contrary to media propaganda on smoking, nothing makes you live longer than smoking. below is my list of chain smokers and their age. 1. late President Lansana Conte of Guinea republic, (1934-2008)74yrs 2. Zhang Shuqing, a centenarian in Pixian, Sichuan, China (still alive) 100yrs 3. Levi Celerio from philipine, a song write who wrote lyrics for more than 4,000 folk, Christmas and love songs,he died at the age of 91yrs. 4. Billy Wilder, Hollywood director 6-time Oscar winner directed such classics as "Some Like It Hot" and "Sunset Boulevard" died at age 95yrs 5. Gregorio Fuentes, a famous fisherman from Cojimar, Cuba died at 104yrs. 6. Wencelao Moreno, American television personality porpularly known as Senor Wences of the "Ed Sullivan Show" died at 103yrs 7. Mme Jeanne Calment, from france who was listed as the world's oldest human whose birth date could be certified, died at 122yrs, 8. Britain's oldest man, George Cook, died at 108yrs in his sleep in September, l997. He "smoked heavily for 85 years 9. The Scottish Daily Record (12/15/97) reported on Ivy Leighton, 100yrs, who smoked 20 cigarettes a day for 84 years, 10. There are two men who claim to be the world's oldest living humans, but their birth dates cannot be certified. One is Ali Mohammed Hussein, who claimed to be 135yrs, of Lebanon. He "smokes like a chimney," but does not drink alcohol another is Narayan Chaudhari, a Nepalese man who says he is 141. However, his birth date also cannot be certified. He too is a heavy smoker and says the secret of his longevity is "raw tobacco and no alcohol finally, my grand father was a heavy smoker from the age of 15, he died in 2007 at the age of 102yrs. for more info....links: http://www.forces.org/static_page/oldest.php http://www.forces.org/evidence/hamilton/other/oldest.htm 4 Likes |
