Secrets of people who live long

WANT to live long? Want to share in the secret of those who live to a ripe old age? With a bit of luck and these simple health tips, you could achieve such goal.
STRESS LESS – There’s  evidence that learning relaxation techniques early on is crucial.  A diet rich in fruits and vegetables is also crucial, as is laughing: It releases endorphins in the body that act as natural stress busters. Plus, a good laugh gives your heart muscle a workout.
EAT LESS – Recent research in humans has linked calorie restriction to lower incidences of age-related health problems, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s.
Keep in mind that calorie restriction is an easy diet to do unsafely, however. Start by limiting simple sugars and flours, and pack your meals with dark leafy greens and other vegetables.
OPT FOR HERBAL REMEDIES -  Herbs have  impressive abilities to heal. They can alleviate high blood pressure, stimulate the nervous system, destroy germs and boost the immune system. Something as simple as green tea can help improve your immunity and your health.
MAKE FRIENDS – Studies show that people with strong friendships tend to have more robust immune systems and are less likely to succumb to infectious diseases.  Strike up at least two conversations every day with someone you haven’t talked to before. And aim to listen more than you speak; the more airtime you give someone, the more generous he or she will be with personal details.
STAY Ph BALANCED -  According to some practitioners of alternative medicine, the body is healthiest when its systems are functioning midway between completely acidic and completely alkaline (i.e., pH balanced). When pH levels fall below that midpoint, the body suffers from a condition called acidosis, which even in minor cases can cause fatigue, rapid breathing, stomach problems and confusion.
EAT GARLIC – Garlic can act as a powerful antioxidant and antibiotic, as well as cut the duration and the number of colds you catch.
In addition, garlic has proved efficient in reducing blood pressure and triglyceride and cholesterol levels.
DETOX REGULARLY -  You could benefit from a detox programme, most of which require you to limit meats and avoid wheat, sugar, dairy, caffeine and alcohol.
TAKE MORE NAPS – Just like stress, sleep loss has a degenerative effect on your health, and lack of sleep is  tied to compromised immune function.
Consider drinking a cup of caffeinated beverage right before your nap. It will take about 20 minutes for the caffeine to travel through your digestive system, and you can fit in a short snooze.*
