Longevity Secrets
A Lovely Monday Morning to you all!
PLEASE STAY SAFE FROM CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19). FOLLOW GOOD HAND HYGIENE and MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING

Do you know……… What began as a National Geographic expedition, lead by Dan Buettner, to uncover the secrets of longevity, evolved into the discovery of the 5 places around the world where people consistently live over 100 years old. These are: Okinawa (Japan), Sardinia (Italy), Nicoya (Costa Rica), Icaria (Greece), and Loma Linda (California USA).

In the golden age of technological and medical advancements, everyone is looking for that magical pill or diet or invention to increase their longevity. With life expectancy (the 85 plus population) on the rise, it is expected to triple to 14.6 million by 2040, in USA. We want to be mentally sharp and physically strong for as long as possible. Experts say our genes only account for about 20%-30% of our longevity. That means we can increase our health span which affect our aging about 70%-80% through good lifestyle; stay active/exercise, stay optimistic, practice kindness, maintain friendship, and stay connected for optimal physical and mental health. So, exactly which habits matter the most:

Healthy gut: Eat Resistant Starch (eg. Sweet potatoes), that feeds the friendly bacteria in our intestine and increases the production of short-chain fatty acids, butyrate. Consume Polyphenols (eg. Berries, red wine, olive oil, dark greens), spices (garlic, clove, turmeric, cinnamon, nutmeg), avoid lectins (toxic plant proteins in eggplants, tomatoes, bell pepper), nuts (they are rich in protein, fiber, antioxidants, and a great source of vitamins and minerals, such as copper, magnesium, potassium, folate, niacin)

Moderate, regular physical activity: walking, exercise

Moderate caloric intake

Plant based diet

Socialization, Engagement in Spirituality and Religion

Avoid Hormone Disruptors: pesticides, BPAs, phthalates, parabens in personal products

Put things in Perspective: slow down and prioritize, everything is not urgent and an emergency, listen to your body

Engagement in Family Life

Stress Reduction

Proper Sleep

Aromatherapy using Essential Oil: Essential Oils are natural, volatile, liquid, concentrated extracts taken from the roots, leaves, seeds, bark, or blossoms of plants.
