Is there a secret to live to 100?


I am an advocate of healthy living for 15 years and now I like healthy eating and exercise, because it makes me happy. I also do it because I live to 100 and with all the experts talk about the benefits of exercise and healthy eating and how it's your best chance to live free of the disease and increase your life expectancy, I would like'm sure my lifestyle includes exercise and a healthy diet on a regular basis. I can not say I do not cheat, because let's face it, life is not worth living if you do not have fun and occasionally.


Another thing I have read. I read about 1-2 pounds per week because I like to learn (and show in Jeopardy lit). One of the things I love to read on health and fitness. I have read several books on the subject and I consider myself very informed about this matter. Because I like reading books on these subjects I also enjoy reading the articles and news related to health and fitness. A topic that interests me is old. These are people who by age 100 years and more live. I love to read these people and how they lived their lives to be able to reach this age and beyond. What surprised me the most is that most of these people do not have a life too good, and some of them have little in common living.


A common feature of many is to notify them that they have ever eaten. In a country like the United States is extremely rare, as the portions we are used to huge compared to other countries around the world. About 70% of Americans are overweight, with nearly 25% of these obese people are obese. I know what I feel when I eat too much and it's a terrible feeling. Eating small portions throughout the day is something almost every book and article talks about a long and healthy life and it is interesting that most centenarians have lived forever. Another feature is that they share most of them have always had healthy levels of blood pressure throughout their lives. We all know the importance of maintaining healthy levels of blood pressure, but hyptertension is a problem that many people have. One thing I find very interesting is that many old never big in the exercise of their lives.


I think this is very interesting because I associate a sedentary lifestyle as unhealthy, but I'm sure they were active in other ways. Some believe that centenarians have a drink once a day during their adult life, has her long life of more than helped search queries on one or two drinks a day really good for you are based. Some very old caught smoking in her later years, but they are certainly not associate to stay long. It's just an unhealthy habit that they have taken in their later years that has not affected their health.


As a result, many things contribute to a long life. Overall, I think it is up to heredity, diet of small portions, and the necessary supplements and medications recommended by your doctor. I have read so many stories of how people in large decrease Fitness death a severe heart attack, and I wonder if there really an advantage for them if your goal is to love 100. So many people I know, a long life, are not sports fans and do not eat too healthy. What they have in common, a positive attitude, ability to eat smaller meals and not to the temptation to fill their bellies yield, healthy levels of blood pressure and take the recommended medications and supplements that recommend their doctors. What do you think the secret of life on 100 is it?
