Experts estimate that about 25% of the variation in human life span is determined by genetics. But the rest can be attributed in large part to how we take care of our bodies.
There are simple things you can do to be your healthiest, most active, most productive self while living longer. The keys to perhaps living to 100 or more are a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and good lifestyle choices.
Worry is a very important lifestyle choice. Yes, a choice that you are making in every waking moment …whether you are aware or not.
It doesn’t feel good …and for the most part it’s not good for us. So why do we do it?
Dr. Sarb Johal explains: “In the past, we’ve worried about something, but everything has turned out OK. The result is that our brain pairs the feeling of worry with a positive outcome. The brain becomes convinced that worrying helps us get the result that we want.”
Dr. Johal goes on to give some good advice about managing worry so that it doesn’t hurt our health:
1. Identify unproductive worrying.
2. Express your worry.
3. Practice mindfulness.
4. Develop habits and routines for a sense of control.
5. Seek humor.
6. Accept what you can’t control.
I urge you to take control of your worry by looking at … and using these 6 tools.
These are simple things we can all do to live longer while enjoying a good quality of life.
Sounds good to me. Are you with me?
