10 Proven Steps To A Longer, Healthier Life.

From my experience and reading Blue Zones

1. Eating a mostly plant-based diet

Many of the blue zones have a mostly plant-based diet. Meat is on occasion.

2. Having a close knit network

Family, friends, but mostly having a sense of community

3. Having a purpose

Why wake up in the morning?

4. Exercise

Every day - whether it's gardening, shoveling snow, walking

5. Avoiding smoking, drugs and too much alcohol

6. Avoid risky activities

7. Practice gratitude

8. Invest in your health now

Don't wait until you're older

9. Build healthy habits now

Eat until you're 80% full, practice fasting, meditate to relieve stress

10. See your doctor regularly

Even if something feels a bit off, better safe than sorry
