Scientists have proven that the secret to longevity is basically 3 factors and it breaks downs like this:

✅ 25% diet

✅ 25% exercise

✅ 50% happiness AKA Joy 

Which makes this latest study on how exercise makes you happier is important!! 

🔺Researchers at Yale and Oxford say exercise is more important to your mental health than how much money you make.

🔺Researchers collected data about the physical behavior and mental mood of more than 1.2 million Americans.

🔺In the study people could choose from 75 types of physical activity — from lawn-mowing, childcare, and housework to weight lifting, cycling, and running or bicycling.

🔺The people in the study were also asked about their income and physical activities. 

🔺The researchers found that while those who exercised regularly tended to feel bad for 35 days a year, nonactive participants felt bad for 18 days MORE, on average.

🔺In addition, the researchers found that physically active people feel just as good as those who don't do sports but who earn about $25,000 more a year. 

🔺So, you'd have to earn a lot more to get the same joy-boosting effect that sport has.

🔺🔺According to the study, three to five training sessions, each lasting between 30 to 60 minutes, are ideal per week. 

🔺Sports that involve socializing can have more of a positive effect on your mental health than others.

🔺🔺The scientists also noticed that certain sports that involve socializing - such as team sports - can have more of a positive effect on your mental health than others.

🔺Despite the fact that neither cycling nor aerobics and fitness technically counts as team sports, these activities can also have a considerable positive effect on your mental health. 

🔺🔺🔺This is one of the reasons I’m so excited my newest program The Become Ageless Tribe because it combines all 3 of these factors!!

Give what you love 

Give what you believe people can use Give them what will benefit them  

Give them what will uplift them 

Give them Joy 

 

Basically, I believe the best health advice can be boiled down to a few words... In no particular order.

• Seek joy

• Don’t smoke 

• Avoid trans fats 

• Laugh

• Replace saturated fats with unsaturated if you can

• Cook from whole ingredients

• Minimize ultra-processed foods 

• Cultivate relationships 

• Nurture sleep 

• Love

• Drink alcohol at most moderately 

• Exercise as often as you can enjoy it

• Drink only the calories you love 

• Be present 

• Stretch more

If you’re great at the above words, even though they are basic ..these words of health advice is all you’ll ever need to becoming ageless.

This poem by Mary Ann Radmacher is a great reflection .... on key elements to longevity, beauty & mindfulness.

“Live with intention.
Walk to the edge.
Listen Hard.
Practice wellness.
Play with abandon.
Laugh.
Choose with no regret.
Appreciate your friends.
Continue to learn.
Do what you love.
Live as if this is all there is.”
