Ever wonder why in some places, more people live long and healthy lives? What are they doing differently that allows them to be healthy and vibrant, even at 100 years old?
My journey into the Blue Zones, where centenarians thrive, has revealed nine habits that stand out as keys to a long and fulfilling life.
- Integrating Physical Activity: These centenarians incorporate physical activity into their everyday lives, such as walking or light gardening, instead of structured workouts.
- A Strong Sense of Purpose: In these regions, having a clear purpose in life, known as “ikigai” or “plan de vida,” is common among the elderly, providing them with a reason to greet each day.
- Mastering Stress Control: Despite facing stress, these individuals use various techniques to manage it effectively, knowing its detrimental effects on longevity.
