Yet another resource about how to live longer and happier
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?
