Find a life partner
A 2004 study at Rockefeller University in New York suggested that the stress of divorce could accelerate the ageing of white blood cells. On the other hand, life-long happiness really does what it says on the tin. Experts believe that long-term loving relationships can keep you as much as 7.5 years younger.
Go to the beach more often.
There's something about nature and life extention. Studies have shown that just 30 minutes of bright light per day for five days is enough to banish depression in people's lives.
Get a dog
Scientists have always sworn that dogs lower your risk of heart attacks and strokes. Studies have shown that dog-owners tend to have lower blood pressure and cholesterol than people without. Dogs are more effective than other pets because they force owners to take a daily walk.
Move to another country
If you think the standard of living of the country you live in stinks, move to a better country. And if you really want to prolong your life, try living in Andorra - it tops the world's lifespan table with an average age of 83.
Sports/Exercise
The added benefits of regular exercise, keeping muscles and joints supple and strengthening heart and lung function will also keep you ticking along nicely.
Laugh more often
Humour can help us lead happier and longer lives, according to a 2006 study at the Norwegian University of Science. They've proved that people with a sense of humour are 30% more likely to survive when killer diseases strike. Laughter produces more protective hormones, regulates blood pressure, decreases the effects of stress and boosts the immune system.
Go to church more often.
Visit your doctor more often
Prevention is better than cure - don't ignore warning signs until they turn into flashing blue and white emergency lights. Nip treatable illnesses like diabetes, depression, kideny problems etc by visiting your doctor.
To me, finding a life partner is the best way to live long. The right life-partner I mean. A wrong life-partner is the quickest way to an early grave.lol
