Where have we got our info?
We’ve looked at some of the biggest studies into ageing, including the excellent 80-year Longevity Project, to find out which habits seem to help people live longer. Our smart network of over 7,000 UK doctors know a thing or two about living a healthy life as well, so they’ve chipped in with a few tips.
Of course, we’ve also considered healthy lifestyle advice from some of the oldest people in recorded history. After all, who would know better than them about what it takes to reach a century of years on Earth? When people reach 100, they’ll usually be asked what their secret is and many are only too happy to share their wisdom.
Does this stuff really work?
While trying these tricks might tip the scales in your favour a little, they certainly won’t make you immortal. The science suggests they’ll help, but only if you take care of your general wellbeing. As ever, the best way to secure your long-term health will always be a balance of regular exercise and a healthy diet.
