How to stay young and live longer?

Lifestyle. We have to change our daily lifestyle in order for us to stay fit everyday and live long. Fast food and instant food we buy in the supermarket are full of preservatives and MSG. We should eat a balance diet everyday - foods without preservatives of course, like fruits, vegetables and meat, lean meat, plus don't forget to have some exercise. And then we live happily ever after.

I think not just love but all the positive, peaceful, good things in our lives make us live longer. It's about putting out positive energy and getting it back. It not only refuels us but keeps us going longer too. You can live a minute on an ounce of hate but a lifetime on an ounce of love.

thats very true.

Hi anna, nice post. I have seen in TV recently they showed a Britain woman more than 110 years still happy with her children and grand children. She said that, "i will take honey every morning" so i feel suitable diet and maintain of meals timings is most important to make one's life longevity, in that same program they also showed about Thomas Tarr, native of England who lived upto 150 years, his secret of longevity is just he is vegetarian and do you know he also believe in fasting, as most of the Ayurveda Doctors says. I believe in less food intake and only vegetables, active mind, share feelings with others, open mind, positive thinking, happy and peace, self satisfaction, no greedy - happy with whatever we have, spirituality (spend with god - talk to god) meditation, good sleep, talk sweetly, as you said stay romantic (it is stimulate your hormones, make you to keep young and healthy) above all keeping mind and body clean and healthy.

To live longer you need to be happy and the way to happiness is.... keep your heart free from hatred...your mind away from worry, live simply, expect little and give much. Fill your life with love...

To stay young and live longer is just be yourself. Eat nutritious foods, be happy, be calm, and don't be too stressed when you encounter problems...Smile :)

It depends, some who are living on province, eating pure vegetables, far from noise and smoke pollution or air pollution. FAr away from modern technology like television , cellphone and computer. Those who are discipline, wakes up early and sleep early. Exercise by doing household chores or swimming, those people are from the province and i believe they live longer compare to people living in the City. People who are living in the city are prone to illness, accident and diseases, merely because of their vices, stress and attitude.

To live we require all, what you have mentioned ...But these are all external body needs. For the true inner happiness we need to be in total peace with our inner self thats when we can be very happy, which inturn will lead to a longer happier life. What is the use of that life in which one is alive but not happy and there no-one along to share the life with...

Yes, I too agree with you because a healthy mind and happiness can make us live longer. And when we love someone, we will be happy.

to live long, you must always wear a Smile on your face, Avoid any vices, eat vegetables everyday. Proper exercise. :D. I am not afraid to die anyway.

yes true and sholat tahajjud to muslim

yes i want to live long and healthy too,inorder to live long and healthy i eat balanced diet,do exercise like riding bike swimming.and i also like to sing.

Yes this is absolutely true ... but being romantic even at the age of 55 or 60 would be a difficult thing to do ..

I suppose one must not take things in life too seriously because it will likely cause to much stress. Studies have shown that stress is linked to various ailments. It seems to activate all the bad cells in the body resulting into diseases like cancer. One cannot always control the bad situations that one will encounter in our daily existence but what we can control is how we respond to such less than pleasant instances. A happy disposition will go a long way in lightening the burden that we feel we are saddled with in life. It could also help jump start our day right leading to a stress free existence.

I think that you have brought up a very important point to living long. I wonder thow, who is this love flame geared toward? I am a true believer that you must carry this love for your self and life in general because as you age so do your loved ones and they may die earlier than expected so you should be prepared for that. Also one needs to eat healthy. Good topic!!

dear anna, I don't wish to live too long or being too old. But staying young is all in our minds. Think positive and drive away negative thoughts. In times of trials and problem,manage a smile. Laugh at times when you feel like crying. Thu,i cry when i am alone,i always try to set aside my emotions when needed. Staying young can be attained by eating proper foods and good exercises too. But,having good company and happy environment is one of the biggest factor.

I think that the trick to living longer and being viberate with your mate is never give up on inner child. Me and my hubby have laughter everyday from one of us acting like a child in some form. It helps with us alot. So never give up or hide that inner child. Let it out.

Simple: Try not to get angry over trivial matters. It hurts your body and kills many cells. Keep that smile on your face, yes, and look at the bright side of things. But then there's no magic formula for longevity. And even if there's one, nobody can abide by it strictly.

Well supposedly their is a longevity gene which only 15% of us have. They are actually testing Ozzy Osborne for it because doctors just don't under stand how he is still alive.I think in general though, it is better to enjoy a high quality of life rather than a long one.
