Lifestyles Ideas Management - Live Longer

We can add a few more years just by following a few simple rules, an article in Men’s health magazine.
Choose salad over soup – eating just one cup of raw vegetables daily can add two years to your life. Raw is better because cooking can deplete up to 30 percent of the antioxidants in vegetables. Exercise to rid of excess fat as fats raises your risk of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke and colon cancer. There’s no way out but to exercise.
Go nuts – researcher discovered that those who snacked on nuts five days a week lived 2.9 years longer. Choose your nuts wisely, though. Researchers found that those who have a wide network of friends had the longest lease on life. Friendship provides more protection than peril. So stay in touch with your old friends. And it is never too late to make new friends. There is life after retirement; people with a positive outlook on ageing process lived more than seven years longer than those who felt doomed to deteriorating mental and physical health.
