Way to a long purposeful life

 

Way to a long purposeful life

It has been observed that longevity is the cumulative result of healthy habits throughout one's life. The fundamental pillars of longevity include: [1] engaging in regular low-intensity activities such as walking, gardening, and practicing yoga on the floor to enhance core strength; [2] consuming a frugal yet nutritious diet, eating until 80% of one's appetite is satisfied; [3] prioritizing a 'plant-forward diet' that consists of greens, pulses, and whole grains; [4] cultivating a strong sense of purpose and fostering spiritual growth to build psychological resilience; [5] practicing self-care and consciously performing daily activities as acts of self-compassion; [6] dedicating time to hobbies, social interactions, and community service; and [7] ensuring 7–9 hours of quality sleep along with restorative afternoon naps.

Emphasize a light and balanced diet, nurture a sense of self-worth by maintaining a creative spark, pursue renewal through continuous learning and spirituality, and engage in low-intensity exercises such as walking, yoga and breathing techniques for a long life.

LONG LIFE SONG

Eat the sun's bright hue,
Grains and greens see you through.
Move your body with glee,
Strong and happy and free.

Sleep, a peaceful deep dive,
Where dreams come alive.
Find a thing you love to do,
Create something unique and new.

Nourish your soul,
Learn to make you whole.
Grow a little each day,
Chase worries away.

Long life's gentle song,
Where you always belong.
