Research has found that people who generally live longer do so partly because of good habits. Here, Dr Vernon Coleman ans others provide some of the following good habits for longevity.
1) Laugh & fun, don't be gloomy
2) Let bygones be bygones. Dwelling on the past inflicts unnecessary stress
3) Early to bed, early to rise, is healthy and wise
4) Stay lean, being just 30% overweight is bad
5) Keep learning, reading and socializing - an alert and active mind keeps brain cells healthy
6) Keep working, doing something you like. Don't retire, it slows down your body
7) Be the boss or your own life. Letting others push you around produces stress
8) Too many pills ruin your body, take just what you need
9) Constantly alternating between weight gain and loss is bad
10) Exercise, quit smoking and eat less fatty foods
11) Do not worry about your health and death, just get on with your life and enjoy it
