ROM-DOS Posted May 6, 2006 CID Share Posted May 6, 2006 It's been said that a man dies simply because he doesn't know how to live longer. People are living longer these days. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 1920 the average life expectancy was 54. Today, people can expect to live to 78. "If you really want to live longer, then start with your attitude. Your way of thinking not only improves your outlook on life, but also how long you actually live. In 2002, researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, found that optimistic people decreased their risk of early death by 50 percent compared with those who leaned more toward pessimism." (yeah, right!) See Forbes.com's "15 Ways to Live Longer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted May 6, 2006 CID Share Posted May 6, 2006 1) Don't Oversleep OK? 2) Be Optimistic I do believe this to be true, you can say that I have had enough, and die when it close. Or get better with the right attitude. 3)Have More Sex Won't argue, as it is a great idea to use. 4)Get A Pet Probably mostly true in single people who need a partner. Without the other problems. 5)Get A VAP OK? 6)Be Rich OK, but just having enough, should be enough.(financially comfortable) :laughing7: 7)Stop Smoking Mostly true. 8)Chill out Definitely true. 9)Eat right Definitely true. 10)Marry well True but differently, your spouse serves you your meals, right? 11)Exercise True, but overdoing can do the opposite. 12)Laugh True, but I don't think too much is too much. 13)Lose weight Definitely 14)Manage Stress As before Chill 15)Meditate ? Chill no? Again just my opinions. As usual. Thanks ROM DOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amc11890 Posted May 6, 2006 CID Share Posted May 6, 2006 My grandpa is now 85 years old and he basically eats wat he wants, pretty much stress free because all he spends his time doing is watching baseball and spanish soap operas. Right know he has no health problem wat so ever. My family is convinced that he will live up to 100 years old. And he still drives. But one thing i cant say is that his whole life was stres free, he moved to bronx new york from puerto rico when he was 22 years old and he did not know any english at all. He had to support 8 children as well. I do belive that the optimistic part is rite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
