Ten tips to help you live longer
You want to live a long time and be healthy as well? Here are some tips to help you stay young at heart, and
healthy in body.
1. Stay active. Get moving! Go golfi ng, dancing,
swimming or biking. Play tennis or do some garden-
ing. To stay fi t, do at least 150 minutes of moderate-
to high-intensity physical activity per week and adopt
an active lifestyle. For example, use the stairs instead
of the elevator, and walk or bike to get where you’re
going whenever possible.
2. Watch your diet. A healthy, balanced diet im-
proves your general well-being and is essential for
controlling your weight, cholesterol levels and blood
pressure. Eat less sugar and be moderate in your con-
sumption of alcohol.
3. See your doctor on a regular basis. An ounce of
prevention is worth more than a pound of cure, and
that’s why your doctor is your best ally. Have regular
checkups and go for recommended screening tests.
An early diagnosis can make all the difference in the
event of illness.
4. Take care of yourself. Listen to your body, and
see your dentist and optometrist regularly. Exercise
your brain to keep your memory active, and splurge
once in a while on beauty treatments or activities that
boost your morale.
5. Get enough sleep. Lack of sleep increases irrita-
bility and reduces concentration. It also increases the
risk of heart disease and certain cancers. For most
people a good night’s rest involves at least eight hours
of sleep.
6. Relax. Learn to manage your stress. Intense
stress can cause insomnia and even skin rashes. It can
also aggravate conditions such as high blood pressure
and Type 2 diabetes. Take time for yourself and relax.
Do yoga, learn to breathe properly, get a massage or
read. In other words, slow down and smell the roses.

7. Quit smoking. Smoking increases the risk of lung
cancer, heart disease, and stroke. The sooner you quit,
the sooner your body can recover and benefi t from
reduced chances of a premature death.
