No one really knows when they will die ,but everyone wants to live a long life.Every parent want to be there for their kids. Yesterday, I read an interesting article that gave some tips on how to live a longer life.

Tips for living a longer life:

Add 5 years by eating power foods: Antioxidants

Add 5 years by NOT smoking

Add 4 years by skipping the fast food

Add 3 years by getting yourself moving (30 min. walks 5 day a week)

Add 3 years by losing weight

Add 3 years by eating salmon twice a week

Add 1 year by flossing daily

Sounds interesting, and I would probably agree with all of them... but I'm not too sure about flossing daily. I mean I know you have to, but I don't see how it actually increases your life span?

Re: How to live a Longer Life ?

Flossing helps one live longer because it has been acknowledged that bacteria reside under the gum line. Bacteria are swallowed and can lead to inflammation of the heart'sblood vessels. That's something we want to avoid. Medical advice has declared that, for the same reason above, it's good health for most people over a certain age to take an aspirin everyday to avoid inflammation of the arteries, avoid damage and blockages. I know it seems far fetched but this is what health authories state. This, like all health advice needs, to be checked out with your licensed health care practitioner.

My new book has been released about elder abuse: PARADISE COSTS--A Victim's Daughter Fights Back Against Elder Abuse. This is reality writing including my father's actual forensic report that is suspicious...it's included to exemplify a terrorifying reality for America's growing senior citizen population. Please tear out the reality writing section of this book and demand your Senator and Congress representative pass the ELDER JUSTICE ACT now on the floor of both Houses. We must STOP ELDER ABUSE NOW.

Re: How to live a Longer Life ?
Hi
You are so right but then wheres the fun in living longer if you are not enjoying what you are doing heheheeh
How do i eat a antioxidant??? i thought it was in my cup of tea and i drink that
Is that just cigarettes that count or other substanses as well and smoking after sex

My fast food wont skip...i know i tried once but it just sat there beside the skipping rope.
If i skip after the fast food can i still eat it

My fingers move on the keyboard does that count??
I also jump to lots of conclusions

I try to lose weight but it keeps finding me cause i cant run fast enough
Wish those that lose weight would keep their own weight cause it usually finds me too

Does raw salmon count or does it have to be cooked?
Cuz I only like raw on my sushi

I flossed once but flossy didn't like it
So if i floss and not brush my teeth does that count??

Just some things that come to mind that i need cleared up

Oh and what happens if a child with Cystic Fibrosis eats junk food
Does this lessen their life span?

Luv Deb

The "minor " things we don't do could have major effects on our lives.
