We are all searching for the fountain of youth or some kind of secret longevity pill, aren’t we? Well, stop searching because I have found the 7 SECRETS TO LIVING LONGER (It was right in front of me in the email of the Health Awareness Tip from the HR of my company).

1 KEEP LEARNING – Read a book club, take a class, attend a lecture. Research shows the more you know, the longer you may live.

2. NUTURE YOUR NETWORK – People with strong social ties weather lift’s challenges better and lead healthier lives.

3. TRY FOR 5 – Five servings of fruits or vegetables a day, that is. It’s like taking a daily youth pill.

4. WATCH YOUR WEIGHT – You’ll cut your risk of heart disease and diabetes, among other life-limiting diseases. (You can pretty much ignore this one, if you are not an American.)

5. WATHC YOUR WALLET – Experts say your financial health physical and psychological health. Plan to save more this year.

6. BE ACTIVE – Your body was designed to move, so engage in physical activity at every opportunity. It’s good for your body and your mind.

7 STAY HOPEFUL – Fuel your will to live by reaching for new goals. Both researchers and centenarians (those 100 year old folks) say a sense of purpose can be powerful medicine.
