23 tricks to live longer and happier

Have you ever noticed that some people look older than they really are? And what others, despite their advanced age, display a form and willingness to envy anyone who hasn’t even surpassed their 20s yet?

Experts claim that this difference goes beyond genetics and is directly linked to the way each one faces life situations. That’s right: our behavior is one of the big ones responsible for body wear.

Scared? Relax. If you declare war on bad habits, you can greatly mitigate the effects of the passage of time. Check out some days…

1. Feed within you only what is good for you: faith, love and joy.

two. Sleep and wake up early. The morning air invigorates.

3. Keep your back straight. Correct posture wards off old age.

4. Never say “yes” when you mean “no”.

5. Get rid of everything that is useless. Thus, energies are renewed.

6. Seek silence once a day. The universe sings, try to listen to it.

7. Do everything in moderation. The secret is in balance.

8. Provide at least one potted plant to take care of at home.

9. Walk daily, no matter how small the route.

10. Have a glass of water on an empty stomach as soon as you wake up.

11. Learn to cook something different and realize how it can become therapy.

12. Think, speak and act positively.

13. Avoid going to bed angry at someone.

14. Don’t isolate yourself. Join group tours and excursions. Loneliness makes you sick!

15. Fight for your dreams.

16. Don’t get attached to intrigue and futilities.

17. Make love at least three times a week. If sex is lukewarm, it’s worth going out dancing, practicing social action and even re-living your relationship with your husband!

18. Follow good examples: read biographies of greats like Jesus, Buddha, Gandhi and other inspirational people.

19. Face things with joy. The weight of problems will decrease considerably.

20. Make new friends.

21. Contemplate yourself – and also the Sun, the Moon, the stars, nature…

22. Never do anything with hate, anger or hurt feelings.

23. Have discipline. This is the main virtue for those who want to live well.
