The author of the Blue Zone has studied long living populations around the world and now has advice for YOU online.
The advice about living longer always says stuff like: have a close circle of loving and supportive friends and family, economic stability, close access to nature, and interesting work. OH BOTHER, close friends and family… well, I guess if it makes me live longer…
Well, duh. I mean, of course I want all those things!
The trick is GETTING those things. I’ve lived what is probably a third of my life and I’m still working on getting all that.
So, I am taking a few simple tips and from the site and putting them into practice:
- Get rid of your full size plates and use 9 inch plates instead. OK! THAT I can do.
- Put movement into your everyday life. This one is cheating ’cause I already do that. ;) Walking is pleasure and a perfect stress reliever for me. I’m going to try and boost this one by inviting friends to go walking with me more often.
- And, I’m going to make more of an effort to go to church every week. I’m blessed to live 20 minutes away from a church with an amazing minister. I might as well take advantage of that.
What are three simple things you can do to live a longer and happier life?
