How to Live Longer

Common denominators among the people who've lived the longest include:

Eating a plant-based diet. Eating foods that give you a low blood sugar level.

Getting regular physical activity such as walking.

Living in societies where friends and family encourage a healthy, natural, active lifestyle.

Having effective stategies for coping with stress, such as prayer, meditation, strong social networks, and napping daily.

Take your antioxidants from foods. Antioxidants have been shown to have anti-aging effects. Good sources include blueberries, cranberries, blackberries, raspberies, strawberries, cherries, beans, and artichokes.

Use coconut oil. Another excellent anti-aging food is coconut oil. It can be used in place of other oils, margarine, butter or shortening and can be used for all your cooking needs. It can help you lose weight, or maintain your already good weight, reduce your risk of heart disease and lower your cholesterol among other things.

Get your resveratrol naturally such as grape juice, raspberries, mulberries and peanuts.

Take your animal based omega-3 fats. Krill or fish oil is a strong factor in helping people live longer, and many experts believe that it is likely the predominant reason why the Japanese are the longest lived race on the planet.

Maintain the proper weight. Most people who live the longest keep themselves slim and trim.
