You May Live Longer!

To boost happiness and health, get out there and socialize! Humans are social creatures and need a variety of social connections. Fulfilling personal and professional relationships have a huge impact on our emotional and physical health. Studies have shown that those who make time to regularly engage in social activities live longer, healthier lives.

Floss once a day. Something as simple as flossing has a significant impact on your health. Besides brushing, flossing is the best thing you can do to lower your chances of developing gum disease. Although many people don’t think gum disease is a big deal, it can have extremely negative consequences on your overall health, not only the health of your mouth.

Add muscle training to your workout routine. Building muscle is a great way to burn fat, even after you have worked out! According to researchers, muscle improves metabolic efficiency, helping to maintain a healthy weight even during rest- which can help keep you fit even after an occasional splurge.

Stop eating before you're full. It takes the brain approximately 20 minutes to receive the signal from your stomach that it is full. This can cause you to overeat without even knowing it. Researchers observed that locals from the island of Okinawa in Japan practiced an eating ritual known as ‘hara hachi bu.’ This practice consist of eating until one is 80% full.  The fact that Okinawa has the highest rate of centenarians in the world speaks volumes about their dietary customs.

Stop and smell the roses. Scent has a powerful effect on the mind and the body. Certain scents such as lavender and rosemary have been shown in studies to actually reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol present in the saliva of participants by up to 24%. Not only that, those who smelled low concentrations of lavender and rosemary on a regular basis had a better capacity of warding off free radical damage, one of the main culprits of disease and aging.

Add these super foods to your diet: To be healthy, you need a variety of foods to provide your body with all the essential nutrients it needs—but not all foods are created equal. Incorporate these foods to your diet and watch a healthier you emerge: avocados, blueberries, figs, flaxseed, walnuts, dark leafy greens, smelt, wild caught sardines and salmon, seaweed, miso paste, green tea, and dark chocolate. Now that’s something to love!
