Latest Research On Longevity Tips From Centenarians

Have YOU ever thought about or desired to live to be 100? Can't say that I have (the thought of what I might look like by then makes me cringe, actually) but I do know that as long as I do have life in me, I wish to be healthy and have quality of life to be able to enjoy the outdoors, have adventures, keep up with the Grandkids, not live with disability or pain and to hopefully accomplish what God would have me do.

The primary findings from 100 Centenarians by United Health Care regarding the difference in lifestyle wellness factors between Centenarians and Boomers are:

• 71% of Centenarians get 8 or 8+ hours of sleep per night while 38% of Boomers get the same
• More than 80% of Centenarians eat a nutritionally-balanced meal per day, while only 68% of Boomers do the same

Some of the keys to successful aging, according to Centenarians are:

• Spiritual activity - 67% say the engage in some form of meditation or prayer daily
• Social connections - 89% are daily in communication with family or friends,  20% + volunteer regularly and many continue to hold employment after age 65
• Physical Activity - 69% stay physically active through exercising regularly and exercising with peer group is the top choice of most older adults

With the flooding from Tropical Storm Debby here in Florida, more people are using alternate means of transportation, as in human-powered: walking, biking etc. due to cars not being able to get down streets, over bridges etc.
Unknowingly however, flood waters can contain fecal matter, bacteria, viruses etc.

You might have read a recently published article about how Scientists reveal the 'Healthiest Meal' ever; made up of the most nutritious foods and some Superfoods.

With summer to begin tomorrow and with high heat indexes and temps already happening in many parts of the country, if you are an outdoor enthusiast, have you considered how you are going to fuel yourself for your activities, recover after your activity and protect yourself during your activity?

If you are not familiar with this term, 'Oxidative Stress', according to Webster's dictionary, it simply means the physiological stress on the body caused by the cumulative damage done by free radicals inadequately neutralized by antioxidants which occurs during exercise, illness, aging etc. In layman's terms, when you exercise, 'free-radicals' or reactive, renegade atoms in the body, through natural bodily processes, can damage your cells and alter their chemical structure.

In order to minimize this damage, consuming Antioxidants [substances that inhibit and minimize the reactions and damage by the Free Radicals]  in superfoods and ingesting Superfood Supplements.
