No way!  That’s the majority answer when we were asked last Tuesday morning if we wanted to live to 100 and even beyond.  For me personally i don’t want to for so many reasons and first reason is — my environment.  I don’t wanna grow old, really really old in the city.  But if given the chance to live far far away up in the mountains, far away from the worry and cares of city life, then maybe i would like to grab the chance.

I took down the tips on how to live up to the 100 and beyond though i missed all the rationale to it. But am pretty sure that if you want to search more about it — u can do so.  Sky is the limit in the googleland and healthbooks.

10 HEALTH HABITS THAT WILL HELP YOU REACH 100 YEARS OLD:

1.  Don’t Retire.
Retirement does not mean that you stopped working and be a couch potato forever.  It means that even though you have stopped going to work in the office it does not mean that you have to stop moving.  Ways and means to attain this is by gardening, farming, volunteering various activities that will let you move.

2.  Floss Everyday
Usual brushing does not removed all the food particles in our mouth so flossing is advised.  Food particles in our mouth can cause growth of microorganisms that will cause ailments or diseases later in life.

3. Move Around.
If you want to be young forever then move around.  Exercise is the fountain of youth so grab be young forever by regular exercise.

4. Eat a fiber rich cereal for breakfast.
Fiber rich foods make you feel full until the next mealtime.

5.  Get at least 6 hours of eyeshut.
God gave us 24 hours everyday to do everything and that  is 8 hrs for work and 8 hrs of sleep and the other 8 hrs for other things to do.  So let’s not cheat our sleeping hours.    Cheating sleep causes us to be unhealthy.

6.  Consume whole foods, not supplements.

7.  Be less neurotic. Don’t let anything stress you.

8.  Live like a Seventh-day Adventist.
(i guess it is because of a true SDA lifestyle) that an American author (non-adventist) recommended this.  According to the author, American Adventists live a decade longer than an average Americans.
