Secrets to Longevity

Wellness image.

Is longevity simply a matter of genetics, or are there things you can do to prolong your life?

The New England Centenarian Study, conducted in Boston, found that longevity does indeed run in families. You are four times more likely to live past 90 if you have a parent that is a centenarian.

But is that the whole story? Hardly. There are lifestyle changes you can adopt now to add years to your life. Try these:

  • Eat a healthy diet
  • Get sufficient sleep
  • Exercise 30 minutes at least five days a week
  • Don’t smoke
  • Keep your mind alert and engaged
  • Stay optimistic
  • Active social life
  • Lose excess weight
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Get regular chiropractic check ups
  • Avoid risky behaviours (addictions, sky-diving, etc.)

Many factors influence life expectancy. Fortunately, many are under our control. Do you want to live to be 100? Then start making some changes so you can get there! It's never too late to start changing bad habits… good luck!

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
Are chiropractors just concerned with the spine?
Our interest in the spine is because it covers the major communications conduit between your brain and your body. As a Norwich chiropractor my job is to locate areas (usually along the spine) that interfere with proper nerve communications to and from your brain. Chiropractic adjustments help restore nervous system integrity. In this way, chiropractic care can affect the function of your entire body.
