WHY WOULD YOU WANT A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE? Because you hadn't seen it all, you hadn't experienced all that life can offer. Life isn't just about living, going to school, working hard, having a family, and dying. It's about being grateful for being alive, breathing fresh air, witnessing a new blooming life, and all the wonderful and fascinating things that come with being alive at that age. WHAT IS THE SECRET TO LONGEVITY AND HAPPY LIFE You have to remember these secrets aren't magic that will help you overnight. The only aim of this is to guide you throughout your journey. Watch it till the end to know if these secrets are for you. SECRET #1: EAT IN MODERATION First and foremost, eat everything in moderation. I know you have probably heard this multiple times, but believe it or not, sticking to moderation can and will always help you achieve your goal. However, there are different types of diet for longevity that centennials can attest to. If you search "diet for longevity," you'll see many different results. Some centennials say eating healthy by doing veganism is the easiest way to have a long-lasting life. You get to eat a lot, but it restricts you from eating dairy and meat. Some also encourage people to start eating raw meat as it strengthens your body and boosts your immune system. And what I can say about it is to each his own; if it doesn't work for you, find another diet that will. SECRET #2: GET MOVIN' Let me say this first, getting movin' means keeping an active lifestyle. Some might say, "another boring and basic move. Is that even a secret?". Oh, you're right. It's no secret for most people. And I agree, being active is boring and basic. However, it does wonders to your health. That is, of course, if you what to live longer happily. You do not have to be a rat gym if that's what getting active you're pertaining to. Exercise at your own pace for as long as you keep moving. Why must you become active? It is to burn some muscles and condition your body so that if you decide to follow these secrets, your body is ready and healthy. Oh, and remember: you can always get active without abusing your body. It will benefit you when the time comes. SECRET #3: RE-PURPOSE Do you remember always looking for your purpose when you were a child? And as you age, you always know what to do and what your purpose is. As you go beyond 50-yearold, you're slowly losing interest in your purpose, making you forget about it. You have to know that not having a sense of purpose usually ends up failing your journey to longevity, and of course, you're losing a chance to have a happy life. Repurposing gives you a clear vision of what to do and helps you steer clear from being stagnant and losing your objective again. Re-purposing helps you from being bored and protects you from negative thoughts. This is very common when you reach age 60, and you think you are useless as you age or that no one remembers you. There are a lot of activities to choose from, gardening, volunteering, and unlocking new talents and skills. And when you get to decide what to do, it means you finally have your purpose again. SECRET #4: DO ALL THE THINGS YOU CAN'T There's nothing more thrilling than doing things that you thought you couldn't. Why? For the sake of excitement. At least you get to try it, and who knows, maybe you'll start to love it. Unlike re-purposing, which teaches you to find new activities and hobbies, this secret makes you almost like facing your fears. The eliciting feeling through your veins makes you more excited and feel like your younger self, looking forward to what life brings. Not to forget that doing things you fear the most is so fulfilling. Doing things you fear or things you think can't help you reach a new milestone it's like a baby step toward longevity and a happy life. Doing so makes you get out of your shell. It feels more refreshing and, of course, amazing. SECRET #5: DON'T LET STRESS GET INTO YOU One of the crucial things to remember is not to let stress get the best of you. Stress, in general, is an enemy in longevity as well as living a happy life. Stress makes you uncomfortable, angry, uneasy, and worse; it can take a toll on your health. There are a lot of factors why stress can conflict with your goal. One of them is being unable to think straight. Whenever you are stressed, you almost always make the wrong decisions and later will regret doing so. Stress leads to sleepless nights, making you more tired and resorting to the wrong food choices. And your immune system is affected when you're feeling tired, haven't had the proper nutrition, and don't have enough sleep. It might sound funny, but it's true. To protect yourself from stress, learn how to control your emotions when under stress and discover new ways of releasing stress. SECRET #6: SOCIALIZE AND CONNECT WITH OTHERS What to do when super bored? Go out and socialize with others. Connect with them, and keep a close relationship with your acquaintances. Having a friend of your own age bracket makes you comfortable hanging out with them and need to open up about what you are going through. Acquaintances usually give you the purest advice and help you go through with whatever you are going through. It gives you some time off, thinking about your problems and the like. SECRET #7: FIND YOURSELF A SOLID SUPPORT SYSTEM There will be a point in your life where your vision and goal is clear. However, you don't find the use to keep on going. And this is where your solid support system comes in. The importance of finding yourself a solid support system is simple, to cheer you up when you're feeling down and to support you in your journey no matter what happens. The difference between having a support system and acquaintances is that there will be times when an acquaintance isn't free or has spare time to check up on you or see how you're doing. When you need someone so badly, or you need a shoulder to cry on, an acquaintance will not be able to fit in the role. A solid support system is like having a parent, but they let you do it alone. They stay by your side when you need them the most—a solid group of friends that are one call away and won't let you down. So find a support system that you can rely on and trust. SECRET #8: REDUCE OR ELIMINATE TOXIC SUBSTANCES If you ever stumble upon the secrets of centennials, you'll have a hard time finding out if smoking, drinking, or using toxic substances can lead you to longevity and a happy life. The explanation for this is simple, and it affects your health no matter the amount used. In order to live your life longer, you have to give up your vices. Quit smoking, as it will affect your lungs and might lead to cancer. The same goes with drinking. Most people with vices tend to overstep their boundaries resulting in severe conditions. It can affect your breathing and can make you more tired than usual. So, how do you expect to go beyond the typical life expectancy if you can't even do simple activities such as walking without gasping for air? Live your life to the fullest, live a healthy lifestyle, and vices aren't one of them. SECRET #9: SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP Time and time again. Sleep, sleep, sleep. You always hear this whenever we are talking about health. Why is that? Because sleep gives us enough energy for tomorrow's activities. Sleep makes you perform your daily tasks without a problem. Sleep makes you grow. And with sleep, it relaxes your body and heals it slowly. Have you ever noticed after a long hectic day, your temple began throbbing, and suddenly you had a migraine? But in most cases, when you sleep it off or wake up, it's gone? No headache, no migraine. It's like magic, overnight. And in order to achieve longevity, you have to have the needed 8-hour sleep without any interruptions. Together with sleep, eating a balanced meal gives the nutrition your body deserves. SECRET #10: ALWAYS SMILE AND ENJOY THE RIDE And, of course, always smile and enjoy the ride. Do you know that a smile can make an impact on someone who's having a bad day? Yup, one smile from you can make someone else's problem disappear. It might sound cliche, but it's true. Plus, smiling makes you look more youthful. Smiling can take away your problems, and it can uplift you. Being on the positive side of your journey matters the most because if you're not feeling into it, who would cheer for you and smile for you? Plus, it is good to learn something new from your day-to-day adventure. The essential key to longevity and happy life is to enjoy your progress. Enjoy your journey and what you have become. Don't think too much, and let these guides help you. No one wants to see someone frowning or crying as it can affect their day, too. Always think of happy thoughts, and let your smile shine through everyone. And that is all for today's video. Longevity isn't for everyone, and the journey you have to go through isn't for everyone.
