Did you know that the number of people surpassing the age of 100 increased more than 40% between 2000 to 2014? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, making it to a century relies more on lifestyle choices than good genes.
Here are a few healthy habits to incorporate into your daily life now so that you can enjoy a long, happy life.
Manage stress. Things like meditation, breathing exercises, and talking with family or friends can help.
Get a pet. Dogs positively improve certain aspects of longevity, like keeping your heart healthy as they require regular walks.
Maintain a purpose. Retirement doesn’t mean sailing off into the sunset. Find a cause you care about and continue to work toward a goal.
Eat healthy. Choose fruits and vegetables, as well as a balanced all-around diet.
Keep up with regular dental visits. As oral health is connected to overall health, we’ll make sure to catch any issues before they become big problems.
