Random Thought of the Day

How to live to be 100+

Apparently, there is a great deal of research surrounding centenarians.
P.S. A centenarian is an individual who has lived for 100 years or more. Now you know!

Most of this centenarian research is in regards to diet, exercise and general lifestyle habits.

However...

That's not all that scientists are researching. Apparently love has a lot to do with it. Human contact and interaction play an important role in whether you'll reach 60 or 100.

Check it out. Here's a TED Talk on this very same subject!



In addition to this TED Talk, I also started thinking about longevity when a friend told me he was on a paleo diet. What is a paleo diet, you ask? Well, basically, it means eating, exercising and living like...a caveman.

Yup. The caveman diet. It actually sounds very appealing and I'm halfway there anyway. Learn more about it HERE. I would recommend muting the sound, FYI. Silly music.
