12 Surprising Signs You'll Live to 100

Mga timailhan nga makaabot ka og 100 years old. Gikan na usab kini sa internet, atong ipaambit kaninyo. Nindot ni, tungod sa mga pagdukidoki nakita nga nagkataas ang pangedaron sa tawo. Maoy hinungdan nga nagkadaghan ang mga senior citizens sa atong nasud.

Sa miaging issue, atong gi-feature ang kaluha nga nag-celebrate sa ilang ika-102 nga sumad sa ilang natawhan. Sa ato pa, alang kanila, dili imposible nga muabot ang tawo og 100 years old. Ania ang mga timailhan nga ikaw dunay purohan nga muabot og 100 ang imong edad.

1. You’re the life of the party. Sa ato pa, kun alegrihon ka nga tawo. Kun ikaw ang kinabuhi sa inyong grupo sa higayon nga magkapundok mo, magdugay ka ning kinabuhia. Giingon dinhi: “Outgoing people are 50% less likely to develop dementia, according to a recent study of more than 500 men and women age 78 and older.” Dili kuno sila daling ma-stressed. Ilang tambag: Meditate, sip black tea (mora ra ba kog kabuhion ini), or take a nap.

2. You run for 40 minutes a day. Scientists in California found that middle-aged people who did just that — for a total of about 5 hours per week — lived longer and functioned better physically and cognitively as they got older; the researchers tracked runners and nonrunners for 21 years. The runners didn't just get less heart disease — they also developed fewer cases of cancer, neurologic diseases, and infections. Aerobic exercise keeps the immune system young.

3. You like raspberries in your oatmeal. Most Americans eat 14 to 17 g of fiber per day; add just 10 g and reduce your risk of dying from heart disease by 17%. Dietary fiber helps reduce total and LDL ("bad") cholesterol, improve insulin sensitivity, and boost weight loss.

4. You feel 13 years younger that you are. That's what older people in good health said in a recent survey of more than 500 men and women age 70 and older. "Feeling youthful is linked to better health and a longer life," says researcher Jacqui Smith, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Michigan. "It can improve optimism and motivation to overcome challenges, which helps reduce stress and boost your immune system and ultimately lowers your risk of disease." Mao ni ang giingon nga ang katigulangon ania ra gyud sa atong hunahuna, sa atong attitude. Kun maghunahuna ka nga tiguwang na ka, tiguwang na gyud ka.

5. You embrace techie trends. May kalabutan ni sa mga latest technology. Kinahanglan Di sad ta magpauwahi. “Learn to Twitter or Skype to help keep brain cells young and healthy, Many of the oldest Americans send e-mails, Google lost friends, and even date online. Researchers say using the latest technology helps keep us not only mentally spry but socially engaged: "Stay connected to friends, family, and current events, and you feel vital and relevant."

6. You started menopause after age 52. Studies show that naturally experiencing it later can mean an increased life span. One reason: Women who go through menopause late have a much lower risk of heart disease.

7. You make every calorie count. Researchers in St. Louis reported that men and women who limited their daily calories to 1,400 to 2,000 (about 25% fewer calories than those who followed a typical 2,000-to 3,000-calorie Western diet) were literally young at heart — their hearts functioned like those of people 15 years younger. It's about not just eating less but getting the most nutrition per calorie.

Kun mao kini ikaw, chances are you’ll live up to 100 years old.
