Delving into the lives of centenarians in the world’s Blue Zones, (places where people live longer, healthier lives) I discovered nine crucial habits shared by individuals who live past 100. These practices aren’t just about longevity; they’re about living well.
- Embracing Natural Movement: Daily life includes organic physical activity, like tending a garden or a leisurely stroll, rather than structured exercise routines.
- Living with Purpose: Whether it’s “ikigai” in Okinawa or “plan de vida” in Costa Rica, having a strong life purpose propels these individuals forward, contributing significantly to their longevity.
- Effective Stress Management: Even the longest-living people aren’t strangers to stress. They’ve mastered the art of managing stress through various techniques, recognizing its potential harm.
