Find
Your Fountain of Youth
History
shows us that people will go to great lengths to search for ways to remain
young. The literal and figurative quest for the elusive "Fountain of
Youth" is alive and well to this day. While there is no way (at least
yet) to "live forever," the process of searching has helped
us to learn more about the multitude of factors that seem to allow for
longevity and lifelong health. Here are some easy ways to find your own Fountain of Youth and live a healthier, happier life.
- Hydration is important for cellular functioning, so
make sure you drink liquids regularly throughout the day.
- The phytonutrients in plant-based foods are
essential for health and wellness. Eat plenty of vegetables and
low-sugar fruits every day.
- Rest is necessary for your body to run optimally.
The way to figure out how much sleep you need is to think about how
much you sleep on a relaxing vacation, when you fall asleep naturally
and wake up without an alarm. The number of hours you get on a relaxing
vacation per day is generally how much time your body is craving for
sleep.
- Take time to have fun with your loved ones. Social
support and positive experiences have been seen in studies to be
beneficial to health.
- Make sure to keep your body moving every day, even
if it's just walking up and down stairs at work or taking a noon-time
stroll around the block. Exercise is key to living a long and healthy
life!

when it comes to sodium intake isn't what we sprinkle on our foods – it's
