1. Avoid stress and anxiety
The two factors can in a big way, reduce your span really quick. Life is not perfect. You mess today, you learn from the experience and live a better life tomorrow. Be optimistic, laugh and spend time with those that value you. It always gets better. After all, you are not alone my dear.
2. Moderate alcohol intake

3. Physically active
Exercising has many benefits of keeping you healthy and lengthening your stay on earth. Research show that heavy body workout has a greater percentage in reducing the risk compared to moderate or low intensive activities. Therefore, regular physical activity is key.
4. Do not smoke
A number of diseases have been linked to smoking which eventually lead to early deaths. As much as quitting is as difficult, moderation and eventually a total withdraw from the smoke is of great benefit to your overall body. It is never too late to quit.
5. Health Eating
Long life has been linked to low calorie intake and low likelihood of catching a disease. Limiting the intake of calories has been known to reduce excess body weight which in some cases is fatal.
6. Be happy
Withdraw yourself from all the negative energy. Happiness is free and it’s your obligation to choose it. It has positive effects, not only to your mood but also to your lifespan.
7. Social circle
Who are your friends? What do your guys talk about when you’re together? Hold hands, cuddle, hug and stay connected. Life is too short! Well, even a 100 years is too short. Learn to pull out once your energy is not reciprocated. Choose the real ones and those that you choose will impact your lifestyle in a positive way.
8. Drink coffee or tea
Maybe you are not a fan as me, right? However, these two have been said to enhance longevity.
9. Good sleeping patterns
Don’t let your work kill you. Treat yourself with some good sleep. Sleep is crucial for regulating cell function and helping your body heal. 7-8 hours is standard.
Regardless of the above, longevity is beyond our control but practicing healthy habits is important. CIAO
