Advice from long-lived people: how to live to be 100 years old and enjoy life

Longevity and health are two dreams that go hand in hand for many people. What to do to live longer, staying active and happy? This question was answered by longevity experts: Dr. Frank Lipman, Dr. Andrea Mayer, Walter Longo, and researcher Dan Buettner.

Most experts agree: diet is of great importance. One of the most effective approaches, they believe, is intermittent fasting, which consists of eating during an eight-hour window and fasting for another 12 to 16 hours.

Dr. Andrea Mayer notes:

"I often skip breakfast and start eating at two or three o'clock in the afternoon. Sometimes my first meal is in the evening and I'm fine."

Walter Longo, who has been researching longevity for many years, has developed a special diet that simulates fasting. It includes foods with a high content of unsaturated fats, but limiting calories, proteins and carbohydrates.

This approach, according to a study in the journal Nature Communications , reduces the risk of diabetes, heart disease and even cancer.

Despite strict dietary principles, experts allow themselves deviations from the rules. For example, Dr. Mayer admits that he sometimes drinks Diet Coke. Walter Longo allows himself late dinners, and Dan Buettner admits that parties with friends are rarely ideal for healthy eating.

"It's hard to eat really healthy when you go out, no matter where you go," Buettner adds.

According to the Harvard Happiness Study, quality relationships are another factor in longevity. Communicating with family and friends helps maintain peace of mind and psychological health.

Dr. Lipman sees this as a personal joy:

"My grandson is my main goal of social adjustment. He will soon turn five, and I enjoy every minute with him."

The secrets of a long life are simple: healthy food, social activity and small joys. Heed the advice of experts to make your life longer, healthier and happier.
