Industry Trend:
Who Doesn’t Want To Live Longer?
Decemberv 1st, 2018

It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t like the idea of living a longer and healthier life. While the average life span has gown to be impressively long, I think most would agree that life is still too short. Everybody has different advice about what to do to live longer, there are some common themes.

National Geographic writer Dan Buettner studied the four cultures with the longest and healthiest average life spans to find some common characteristics. Those cultures were the ones developed in Sardinia, Italy; Okinawa, Japan; Loma Linda, California; and the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica. In these areas the rates of cardiovascular disease and cancer were significantly lower than the average rates in America and diabetes really wasn’t an issue at all meaning. Buettner reports that he found that people who were considered likable tended to live longer. By likable he means that people want to be around you, typically meaning compassionate, giving, interested and interesting. But don’t fret if you don’t feel as if you are extremely likable at this moment, you have time to become that way! Another important part of living long is having a sense of purpose. This is of course something that develops with time, but should be a thought in the back of your mind, not as a source of stress but as a means of guidance. Identify things that you like to do and that give you great pleasure, they are likely to help lead you on a more fulfilling path. Buettner also found that leading a social life is crucial to your overall health and happiness, even if it means skipping a trip to the gym or eating a bit less healthy. As far as physical activity goes, Buettner who was once himself a world champion cyclist, recommends finding physical activities that you enjoy and that don’t hurt too much. Adjust what you are doing based on your age and abilities. Pushing yourself too far, or doing something you don’t enjoy really isn’t helping you very much in the long run. As far as eating goes, moderation is key. Don’t worry about strict dieting, just remind yourself to take it slow and eat in moderation. Eating with others and controlling your proportions is a good way to do this. Another way to eat less is to eat a big breakfast and to avoid eating much meat. Another surprising discovery of his was that those who go to church tend to live longer as they are typically more social, risk averse and have a way of ridding themselves of church, even if you aren’t particularly religious it is an avenue to consider. All of Buettner’s findings have been fairly widely accepted.
