Living Longer and Living Well<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From the Grecian island of Ikaria<\/a> where people \u201cforget to die\u201d to a sunny Californian community in Loma Linda, people are growing older \u2013 in \u201cblue zones\u201d where reaching 100 isn\u2019t that unusual. Together, these groups of centenarians offer the rest of us nine insights into living longer, better lives. And chances are we will live longer. For the first time ever, there are now more people in Canada aged 65 and over than there are under age 15, according to Statistics Canada<\/a>. There were 5.9 million people aged 65 and older in Canada in 2016.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Only about 20% of how long we live is dictated by our genes. That means there\u2019s a lot within our control \u2013 and the nine commonalities below may lead to a longer, healthier and happier life right where you are.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Nine tips to live a longer, healthier and happier life<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Put Family First
<\/strong>For many centenarians, aging parents and grandparents live nearby, and children receive plenty of attention and love.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Have a Sense of Purpose
<\/strong>Having a reason to get up is worth up to seven years of extra life expectancy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Find the Right Tribe
<\/strong>One long-term study showed that healthy habits are \u201ccontagious.\u201d The world\u2019s longest-lived people are born into, or choose, social circles that support healthy behaviours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Use Your Body
<\/strong>Set up your life to spur moderate physical activity, including house and yard work, walking and gardening.<\/p>\r\n

\"old<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Shed Stress
<\/strong>Use downtime to help ward off nearly every major age-related disease including Alzheimer\u2019s and cardiovascular disease<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Eat Slowly
<\/strong>Give your brain time to get the message that you\u2019re full. People in blue zones tend to eat their smallest and final meal in the late afternoon or early evening.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Choose a Diet with a \u201cPlant Slant\u201d
<\/strong>Centenarians eat plenty of vegetables and beans. Meat \u2013 mostly pork \u2013 is eaten just five times a month.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sip Some Wine
<\/strong>People in most blue zones enjoy one to two glasses a day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Belong and Connect
<\/strong>All but five of the 263 centenarians studied belonged to a faith-based community and attended services regularly, adding four to 14 years of life expectancy<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
