Top 10 Ways to Live Long and Be Healthy


By Mehmet C. Oz, MD, and Michael F. Roizen,

1.Stay active. That daily 30-minute walk is vital to keeping you young.2.Get enough of these to keep body and brain humming: whole grains, fruits, and veggies; vitamin D3 (1,000 IU; 1,200 after age 60); DHA omega-3s (600-900 mg); low-dose aspirin (talk to your doc first).

3.Get next to none of these: saturated fats, trans fats, added sugars.

4.Sleep 7 1/2 hours to 8 hours a night. Every night.

5.Manage stress. Meditate (here's an easy way) or take two 10- or 15-minute deep-breathing breaks daily.

6.Do. Not. Smoke.

7.Stimulate your brain. Do puzzles, learn languages, and take on new challenges. Stay sharp with these nifty (and fun) brain games.8.Support "village" movements: neighbors-helping-neighbors programs that let people live independently at home.

9.Harass your legislators to get health costs under control and affordable. At some point, you'll need it. Meanwhile, here are 6 ways to cut your own healthcare costs.

10.Move to North Dakota, Hawaii, or California. They're meccas for 90-year-olds.

Then plan on blowing out more than 90 candles. Once you hit 90, your average life expectancy is 95!

Add these 3 anti-aging superfoods to your menus.
