Let’s have a look at their five keys to living longer… Eat Real, Whole Foods
A healthy diet is the foundation of a long life. Focus on: Fruits and vegetablesWhole grains and healthy fats (like olive oil)Omega-3s from fish, nuts, or seeds
Cut back on red meats, sugar, and processed foods—they’re not doing you any favors.Move Every Day
You don’t have to train for a marathon. Just 30 minutes a day of moderate activity (like brisk walking, dancing, or gardening) can improve your heart health and boost your mood.Maintain a Healthy Weight
A body mass index (BMI) between 5 and 24.9 is linked to a longer life. If you’re not there yet, even small steps—like cutting out sugary drinks or taking evening walks—can make a difference over time.Never Start Smoking (or Quit for Good)
There’s no healthy amount of smoking, but the good news is that quitting at any age adds years to your life. And within months, your body starts healing itself.Moderate Alcohol Consumption
Enjoy a glass of wine or a toast to the new year—but keep it in moderation. That’s:1 drink per day for womenUp to 2 drinks per day for men Here’s the most powerful takeaway…
If you pick just ONE of these habits to focus on this year, you can add 2 extra years to your life.
And if you slowly build up to all five, you could add over a decade—12 years for men and 14 years for women.
Imagine the memories you’ll make, the milestones you’ll celebrate, and the vitality you’ll feel.
Start today—take a walk, enjoy a nutritious breakfast, or make a commitment to yourself.
Remember, it’s not about perfection. It’s about making small, consistent choices that add up to a healthier, longer life.
Here’s to a year filled with good health, happiness, and habits that last a lifetime.
Cheers to you in 2025!
