2. Lots of Sleep. Get a lot of rest, this is extremely important for your body to rest and recuperate. Take a short nap in the afternoon; people who nap are known to live longer.
3. Good Food. Take good care of what you put in your body; do you eat too many high calorie foods? Are you eating a balanced diet, with lots of fruits and vegetables? Unfortunately, most overweight people live shorter lives.
4. Lots of Exercise. It’s very important to remain active; even a small amount of exercise a day will help to improve your health. Research has proven that those who regularly participate in a fitness program will have longer life spans.

6. Hope. You may be surprised to know that having faith in a religion reduces peoples stress levels and gives them a feeling of well being. Studies show people who believe in god enjoy longer happier lives.
7. Telomerase enzyme. A little enzyme called telomerase was discovered and won Nobel Prize recently all because it was the primal and contributing factor on the length of telomeres. Long telomeres are allowing cells to divide, but that division makes them shorter. If the cells can’t divide, you age and die very fast. Taking a telomerase enzyme supplement should help to make us live 40% longer, according to latest research.
