Five ways to live longer

by

If you live in Canada or can get your hands on September’s issue of Glow magazine, do it! Why? Because this issue includes a great article entitled 20 ways to live longer.

The magazine explains each point in detail but here are my five favourite tips from the article:

Take a nap
The magic number is 30 minute naps three times a week.

Meditate in the a.m. or p.m.
The deep breathing involved in meditating slows your heart rate, thereby decreasing your blood pressure. In today’s high stress life it’s easy to see why meditation is important.

Share some sweets
Sadly this is only meant to be done one to three times a month, and not daily as I have been doing!

Send a friendly email
The rationale is socially connected people are happier people. If you can’t meet face to face regularly, an email works.

Stretch your mind
This is one I have been doing more of. Crossword puzzles, the baffling sudoku and other brain teasers that make your brain work are good things.

Check out the rest of the magazine for more great tips for longer life.
