Drinking A Beer Per Day Will Be Beneficial For These 10 Reasons. Number # 9 Is Very Important.

Many people especially women, choose to drink a couple of cocktails instead of beer when going out.

Considering that cocktails can be more expensive and can contain much more sugar and types of alcohol, switching to a beer can be a great idea.

Even if the beer doesn’t have that yummy taste, it can be very beneficial for your health.

But this doesn’t mean that you should consume beer without control. The consumption of one beer per day can be really advantageous for your health.

Beer is higher in vitamin B and protein than wine and has the equal amount of antioxidants with wine.

Beer is high in flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants, as well as minerals that are crucial for various metabolic processes. If consumed moderately, beer can boost health in various ways.

These are 10 Good Reasons Why You Should Drink “ONE” Beer a day:

1. Beer can lower bad cholesterol, as it contains fiber that effectively reduces LDL cholesterol levels.

2. Beer has been shown to effectively prevent the formation of blood clots.

3. Beer supports the health of your kidneys, and a bottle of this drink daily lowers the risk of developing kidney stones by 40%.

4. Beer strengthens your bones, as the high silicon content leads to higher bone density.

5. Beer boosts the vitamin B levels, as it is a rich source of several B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, and B12). Experts also claim that people who drink beer have 30 percent higher levels of vitamin B6 than their non-drinking counterparts, and double the levels of wine drinkers. Beer is also high in vitamin B12.

6. Beer greatly lowers the risk of a heart attack, and scientists have shown that beer drinkers have a 40 to 60 percent lowered risk of suffering a heart attack in comparison to non-beer drinkers.

7. Beer contains lactoflavin and nicotinic acid, which helps you fall asleep easily.

8. Beer supports the proper function of the brain, and beer drinkers have a lowered risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

9. Beer will make your skin healthy, youthful and smooth, as its vitamins have a beneficial effect on pigmentation and regenerate the skin.

10. Beer helps you fight stress. The findings of a study conducted at the University of Montreal showed that the consumption of two glasses of beer daily reduces work-related stress or anxiety.

Psychologists Warn: NEVER Use These 5 Phrases When Talking To Your Child…

When we are born, our parents are EVERYTHING we have in this world.

They are someone we turn to for support, guidance, and safety. They are someone we look up to tell us the rules of this mystery we are born into.

The truth is we are all human and we all make mistakes. However, to a child’s mind its parents are something A LOT more than just a human.

They are its creators, its caretakers, its guardians, and they’ve lived here before it was even born. Our mother and father are our goddess and god when we are young. They are the only thing we are familiar with in the midst of this vast unknown.

That’s the reason why what parents do and how they behave becomes a crucial part of their children’s psyche.

They are an example mold for our early consciousness, something to look from when it develops our character.

The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice!

Our brain has a lot more neural connections when we are young. It absorbs almost everything that happens around us with a purpose to better adapt in its surroundings.

As we grow up it holds on only to the most used neural connections and it gets rid of everything that we don’t commonly use.

Our mother’s and father’s voice is something that gets integrated deeply into our psyche, it becomes our inner voice.

The way they speak to us becomes the way our inner voice speaks to us, the way we speak to ourselves.

If they are angry most of the time they speak to us, if they are harsh and cold, if they shout and yell whenever we do something wrong, that’s how we’ll deal with ourselves whenever we make a mistake.

But as we said, we are all human, we make mistakes and that’s ok. The way you approach the mistakes is how you learn and overcome them.

How to speak to your child?

An insulting inner voice can prevent us from trying new things by making us feel worthless whenever we make a mistake.

While a friendly inner voice can be our greatest support, guide and motivator in life.

That’s why it is crucial to speak to your child with kindness, love and honesty even if they make a mistake, or do something wrong.

You will develop a voice inside their head that will support them in life whenever they need support, even when you are not there.

Or at least you can try to avoid saying these phrases:

They are extremely damaging to a child’s developing character!

“Stop crying right now!”

Usually when a kid does something it knows will be punished for they start crying. But even though there is no reason for them to cry, that’s their emotion.

They have all the right in the world to express how they feel. By saying this you are slowly programming your child to suppress its emotions.

Instead you should kindly say: “It’s ok to cry sweety, it’s ok to show how you feel. But that doesn’t make what you did a right thing to do.” Hug, and explain why it is wrong what they did.

“You are worthless!”

This is possibly the worst thing you can say to a child. Especially when you are the person and the mental figure they expect most of to be given approval of.

By saying this, you are putting your child on a never ending journey to seek approval from the outside world. Instead of helping them find their own worth inside, you are letting them believe they have nothing inside to find.

There are so many things you can say instead of this, like: “You can do better!”, “Nobody is perfect.”, “It’s not your day, you’ll do better next time.”

“Big boys/girls don’t get scared!”

First of all, why are you lying to your kid. You are probably more frightened than they are throughout your day. Second, you are forcing them to reject what they are honestly feeling.

Fear is not a bad thing, it reminds us when to be careful. You should not run away from it but face it, be aware, learn from it. And real courage is not being fearless, but facing your fear even if you are terrified.

Instead of this, tell your kid: “It’s ok to be scared buddy. All of us are scared sometimes. But I know there is courage inside you that will help you do the right thing even if you are scared. You are my little hero!”

“I am disappointed in you!”

Parents usually tell this to their children when they already feel bad. Trying to make them responsible for your disappointment is pretty selfish. You can be disappointed in a friend, you can be disappointed in a movie, or even your country’s politics, but you can’t be disappointed in your child.

You are there to let them on a right path. So when they do something wrong, guide them back. Your disappointment is in your guidance, not your child. Teach your child what that they did is wrong and why.

Instead of this, tell your kid: “What you did is wrong, in my opinion. And I believe you made an honest mistake. Even if you chose to do what you did, I can assure you’ll realize it’s wrong after I explain. I know you can do better!”

“You are not [something] enough!”

By saying this to your children you are showing them a pretty restricted image of themselves. You are implying that there is something they are lacking in order for them to do what they love or be who they want to be.

Even though you are not saying that they are not enough, you are programming their mindset that way. They are enough to be themselves.

They always are. A tree is enough to be a tree even when it is only a seed. But it needs to grow in order to become what it is.

Instead of this, tell your kid: “You are enough to be or do what you love. But sometimes we all need to train or practice something before, in order to grow that way.”

This is How Headaches Reveal What is Wrong With Your Health (And How To Cure It Naturally)

Headaches are ones of the most common health issues, and they can be of various types. Therefore, you need to find out the trigger of the pain in order to treat it.

Sometimes, headaches are a result of dehydration and fatigue, but they also might be a symptom of some more serious health issues.

According to Dr. Sakib Qureshi MD, a famous neurologist, headaches can often be manifested by “red light warning signals”, so in order to spot the real danger, you need to learn these symptoms and distinguish between common headaches and the signs of a health problem.

Painkillers offer temporary effects only, and they can bring about a long list of side-effects.

On the other hand, we will reveal the 4 most common headache types, and the natural ways to relieve them:

Tension Headache

This is the most common headache type, believed to be a result of stress that contracts the muscles of the scalp and neck.

It manifested by a constant pressure or pain at the temples, or in the back of the head and the neck. You might also experience a radiating pain above or below the eyes which leads to vomiting and nausea.

Treatment: Mix peppermint oil and ginger tea to relieve tension headaches.

Add some peppermint oil to the hairline to soothe the head and neck muscles, while the ginger tea will relieve the inflammation.

Cluster Headache

Women are more prone to cluster headaches, which are felt over one eye, and occur in a cycle or in a group. The pain they cause is sudden and intense, often accompanied by a nasal congestion, a watery eye or a rainy nose.

The cause is still not specified, but a cluster headache is an activated nerve pathway in the base of the brain.

Treatment: Apply a bit of capsaicin cream to the nostril to create a barrier of the nerve pain signals.

Sinus Headache

These headaches are caused by an infection and lead to intense pain and pressure on the cheeks, eyes and forehead, and a fever.

Treatment: Drink lots of liquids, as well as warm water, which relieves the inflammation and opens the sinuses.

You should consume oranges, and foods high in vitamin C, as it is rich in antioxidants and fights infections, fresh ginger, due to its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, and soups. The application of cold and hot compresses will be of great help as well.

Migraine

Migraines affect people of all ages, but the most prone include the ones between the age of 25 and 55.

A migraine is a complicated headache type, manifested by intense, severe, throbbing pain on only one side of the head, as well as nausea, numbness and tingling in the face, dizziness, vomiting, visual disturbances, extreme sensitivity to light, smell, touch, and sound.

These symptoms radiate from the top of the head descending.

Treatment: You should optimize your levels of magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin B12 (riboflavin), and try aerobic exercise, as scientists have found that it can provide better effects in preventing migraine attacks than the preventative migraine medication topiramate.

What A Kid Who Has Never Eaten A Gram Of Sugar In Her Life Looks Like Today

Modern diets are full of processed ingredients and sugar, so it is quite difficult to avoid them completely. Yet, it is not impossible.

A two- and- a- half-year-old baby girl, Grace Cooper, has never tried processed sugar yet, and her parents managed to keep her away from all products that contain hidden sugar.

Apparently, many products on the market contain hidden sugar, and a study by reuters.com found that leading baby formula products are rich in harmful chemicals.

Namely, baby formulas were discovered to contain melamine, which is a chemical used in the production of plastics. Moreover, many babies in China died as a result of the chemically polluted baby formulas.

Even though all baby food products are said to be completely organic, safe, and natural, they are often high in processed sugar and preservatives.

Therefore, it might take some time to research and gain the knowledge needed to find the best organic products for your baby, it is worth it in the long run.

Grace’s mom, Shan, says that as soon as her daughter grows old enough to understand her preferences in terms of their diet, she will give her the opportunity to choose whether she will continue with the healthy diet or not.

When Grace was only 13 months, her mom told the Daily Mail:

“If she eats a piece of bread I’m not going to have a conniption. She’s going to go to kids’ parties and eat what’s there. I’m never going to go to Grace, ‘You can’t eat anything at this party, but I packed you some kale, here you go.’

Shan has fought with food allergies all of her life, so she needed to make her own diet in order to prevent such issues and function normally. She stopped eating gluten, dairy, and processed foods.

She believes that their diet rich in nutrients is the main reason for the strong immune system of her baby. Grace is not prone to coughs and colds as other children, and she has had a cold only once in her life.

 “She’ll be old enough to know she can choose whatever she wants to eat. She’ll probably come home jacked up on sugar and cake and say, ‘mum I don’t feel very well’

And next time instead of eating 12 cupcakes she might only eat three. Females particularly have enough problems with eating disorders… I want Grace to eat what makes her feel good.”

We all want out children to eat what makes them happy, and more and more people are becoming aware that this is definitely not sugar. Yet, not everyone is so determined to make the switch. Are you?

HERE ARE 10 SIGNS THAT YOU WILL BE DIVORCED SOON

Most of the fairy tales, cartoons, and movies we grew up with, teach us that at some point you’ll meet the right person, fall in love, overcome some obstacles and then you’ll marry and live happily after.

However, in reality, more than one-third of marriages are expected to end in divorce within 30 years.

So, there’s no doubt that living ‘happily ever after’ requires hard work. And, as it turns out, there are some surprising things that can make it even harder.

According to relationship experts, there are certain ‘risk factors’ which can allude to a troublesome marriage.

By no means do these cause divorce or guarantee that the marriage is turning sour. But, they do increase a couple’s probability of going separate ways.

Many of these factors can’t be controlled. Nevertheless, you can always try to make some little tweaks in order to strengthen your relationship.

These could be anything from exercising together to learning to communicate better or adjusting your financial expectations.

Read on below to see if you and your partner fit into any of the divorce scenarios.

1. You’re A Child Of Divorced Parents

Seeing your parents go through a divorce can contribute to the probability of you experiencing divorce yourself. However, according to a new study in Psychological Science, this may actually have more to do with nature than nurture.

Researchers found that the patterns of marriage and divorce of adults who had been adopted as kids were more similar to those of their biological parents, not their adoptive ones.

2. You Have Different Drinking Habits Than Your Spouse

There are always couples who have all of the same friends and have fun together at the same bars and restaurants. But, what happens when one person is fond of drinking and partying, while the other isn’t?

In a 2014 University of Buffalo study, researchers discovered that 45 to 55 percent of couples where one person was a heavy drinker and the other wasn’t, divorced before their 10th anniversary.

On the other hand, when both partners indulged in drinking or neither did, only around 35 percent of couples split up.

3. You Got Married Waiting Too Long

As it turns out, those parents who told their children to wait for marriage and make sure he/she is the right one, were completely right.

Recent statistics indicate that those who get married in their teens or early 20s are at a much higher risk of divorce than those who get married in their late 20s and early 30s. Yet, you don’t want to wait too long, since waiting after age 32 may once again increase your divorce risk.

4. You’re Very Good Looking

This can explain most of the shocking celebrity divorces. It seems partners who score high on the scale of attractiveness, have a harder time staying together.

A recent paper published in the journal Personal Relationships showed that physical attractiveness was truly associated with a higher likelihood of getting divorced. Good-looking married people were also more vulnerable to temptation than average-looking married people.

5. You Paid Lots Of Money For Your Wedding

Did your wedding cost a fortune? Emory University researchers found that those who spent more than $20,000 on their wedding are at a higher risk of divorce than those whose weddings cost between $5,000 and $10,000.

In general, couples who spent around $1,000 for their weddings were least likely to split up.

6. You Didn’t Waste Time Getting Pregnant

Apparently, how quickly you have a child may affect your marriage. According to data from the CDC, women who waited at least 8 months after their holy matrimony were more likely to make it to at least 15 years of marriage.

On the contrary, women who had a baby before the wedding day or within the first seven months were at a high risk of divorce.

7. Your First Child Is A Daughter

There is another data which suggests that couples whose first baby is a girl have a higher rate of divorce than couples with a firstborn son.

A provocative 2014 study argues that those marriages who are already on the rocks might actually produce baby girls thanks to a concept known as the female survival advantage. Allegedly, girls are more likely than boys to be born into already strained marriages.

8. You Don’t Have A College Degree

Research shows that those who have only a high school diploma or GED are more likely to end their marriage than couples who have finished college or higher education.

Therefore, earning at least a bachelor’s degree is not only good for yourself, but for your marriage too.

9. You Grew Up Without A Religious Father

Yet another study states that women who grew up in religious households are more likely to stay beside their husbands than women without a religious upbringing.

Those who were not part of any religion had only a 43% success rate of their marriage lasting 20 years. If you think about it, this could be due to the fact that many religions teach people to fight for their marriage to succeed and consider divorce only as a final option.

10. You’ve Already Been Divorced Before

Just because you’ve got one or two marriages behind you, doesn’t mean that all your relationships from that point onward are doomed.

Nevertheless, because you know what it’s like to go through a divorce, you may be more willing to do it again. According to CDC data, about 40 % of second marriages end within 10 years.

8 Signs Your Partner Is With You Because Of Love (Not Just Sex)

Relationships. You never know for sure if it’s going the right way, but you know that you want it to work out. Unfortunately, many guys and girls end up in relationships that involve unrequited love, abuse, disrespect, and just toxic behavior that leads nowhere.

It’s true – there will always be people who will want to be with you for a personal gain – sex, money, having a babysitter, or just using you for the status called ‘relationship.’ These relationships take the best of us.

In such relationships, you will find yourself struggling and you will continue with the struggle even when you get out. You simply find people hard to believe after spending time with someone who didn’t love you at all and simply used you.

However, not everyone is like this. There are people who still believe in being with someone because of love, and you are sure that someone is truly in love when you see how dedicated they are to the relationship.

So, how can you know if someone is in for the love, and not just for sex?

1. They are genuinely interested in your life and well-being

A person who is with you just for the sex won’t care too much about your life and your well-being. They might show concern if you have gained a few pounds (and might even ghost you for this), but they will never try to learn what led you to that state.

If someone is truly in love with you, they will be interested in everything about you; they will truly care about what is happening to you, how your day was, and they will never spend a day without asking if everything is alright with you.

Even if they are not so much on the ‘wordy’ side, they will show this genuine care and interest in every possible way they know and can.

2. They tend to you when you are sick

Your only-interested-in-sex lover will be disgusted by your pale face and stuffed nose if you get sick. In fact, they will wish you to get better and they might be frustrated that you can’t pay attention to them because of your situation.

However, a person who is with you for the love will try to cancel every arrangement they had and tend to you. They will run with the tissues after you and they will fetch medications from the pharmacy at any time. They simply care about you and they will do everything to make you feel better.

3. You are on top of their priorities

Not only when you’re not feeling well – a person in love will always have you on top of their priorities. Since when are the friends more important than you?

You may both like to have some nights out with friends, but that person will never put others in your place.

If you are with someone who’s in just for the sex, they will be done with you the moment you’ve had your ‘fun time’ and they’ll run after their priorities.

This is not the case with a person in love – in fact, they don’t prioritize sex the way they prioritize you and your place in their life.

4. They will always make time for you

We are all very busy – being busy is what makes us push forward, really. But a person in love will never be too busy when it comes to you. They would even ‘sacrifice’ that little time they have left because they don’t see it as a sacrifice.

Someone who’s just in for the sex won’t have time for you if they’re not in the mood for some ‘play.’ You know that someone loves you when they make time to listen to your silly complaints about trivial things when they make time to come and see you, or at least write a text message.

5. They like talking to you and they show interest

There are so many things that make us who we are – so many trivial things we want to talk about; so many boring situations that seemed stressful for us.

The person who is in just for the sex won’t bother to listen to these things, and they will definitely not talk about such things.

The person in love, on the other hand, will always listen attentively and may even want to try to help you fix some problems (at least in your head).

They enjoy talking to you about stuff, they are interested in what you want to say, and they will always show this.

6. They aren’t afraid to show commitment

Of course, if they are in love, they will never be afraid to talk about commitment and work toward achieving it. If someone is with you for the sex, they will be definitely afraid to think of commitment – they didn’t sign up for that, did they?

A person in love will be proud of the idea that they are committed to you and they won’t be afraid to eliminate all reserves that could replace you.

7. They want to be liked by your friends and family

And they will do everything to show them that they are worthy of being with you. As we all know, the loudest judges about your partners are your closest friends and family because they care about you.

If someone is with you for the sex, they won’t bother to even show up in front of your company, and if they do, they won’t try to communicate too much with them and won’t really care about their opinion about the relationship.

A person in love, though, will be on their best behavior and will show your closest that they are worthy of being around you and that they will never make you feel used or abandoned (at least not on purpose).

8. They are ready to do things they wouldn’t normally do

If you see your partner trying to dance with you with their clumsy feet because you love dancing, or they sing karaoke with you even if they are terrible at it – it’s because they are doing something they wouldn’t normally do.

That is definitely a sacrifice that not many would do, especially not someone who is in just for the sex. If you see your partner doing things that don’t go with their character, and they are doing them for you – it’s because they love you.

If you are with a person like this, keep them close to you and don’t let them go. You may have quarrels, misunderstandings, and tough periods, but you will be able to overcome those challenges because of the love you have for one another.

Stay away from toxic people and respect every breath made out of love. People who aren’t afraid to love will always find someone who will respect their love and love them back.

THE 4 WIVES (STORY OF THE YEAR)

There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best.

He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He’s very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends.

However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men.

He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and infect is the merchant’s confidante.

Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times.

Now, the merchant’s 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household.

However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.

One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, “Now I have 4 wives with me.

But when I die, I’ll be alone. How lonely I’ll be

Thus, he asked the 4th wife, “I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you.

Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?” “No way!” replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word. The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant’s heart.

The sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife, “I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?” “No!” Replied the 3rd wife.

”Life is so good over here! I’m going to remarry when you die!” The merchant’s heart sank and turned cold.

He then asked the 2nd wife, “I always turned to you for help and you’ve always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?”

“I’m sorry, I can’t help you out this time!” replied the 2nd wife. “At the very most, I can only send you to your grave.” The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated.

Then a voice called out: “I’ll leave with you. I’ll follow you no matter where you go.” The merchant looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition.

Greatly grieved, the merchant said, “I should have taken much better care of you while I could have!”

‘Every man and woman has four wives or husbands. What do these wives signify?’

*THE FOURTH WIFE

The 4th ‘wife’ is our body. We love our body day and night. In the morning, we wash our face, put on clothing and shoes. We give food to our body. We take care of our body like the fourth wife in this story.

But unfortunately, at the end of our life, the body, the first ‘wife’ cannot follow us to the next world. As it is stated in a commentary, ‘When the last breath leaves our body, the healthy color of the face is transformed, and we lose the appearance of radiant life.

Our loved ones may gather around and lament, but to no avail. When such an event occurs, the body is sent into an open field and cremated, leaving only the white ashes.’ This is the destination of our body.

*THE THIRD WIFE

Our 3rd wife? Our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others.

*THE SECOND WiFE

The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when we’re alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.

*THE First Wife

The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure.

Hunza People Never Get Sick, Don’t Get Cancer and Live up to 120 years – Here’s Their Secret

Have you ever heard about Hunza People?

There are many myths and stories about people who lived happy and healthy for a long, long time.

The myths like the one about  the  Holy Grail, or the Fountain of youth are still found quite interesting even after all these years.

But, it is no secret that there are many living people that live longer than the rest of us. There are even people that were never ever sick in their life.

So, what is the secret to a long and healthy life?

To answer that question, I went through the most amazing life stories of those centenarians who were willing to share their wisdom on the net.

To be honest, many of those stories were different and I was not able to make some final conclusion at first about the “secret” I was looking for. I found many different answers and they confused me even more.

For example, E.M from Italy lived 116 years, and she explained that the reason for her long life is staying single. She said: “I didn’t want to be dominated by anyone”, so after her divorce, at the age of 38 she spent the rest of her life single. She even won the battle against anemia by eating two raw eggs a day her whole life.

Another life story about Mushatt- Jones tells about eating fried bacon every single day. A California centenarian told his secret was eating one donut a day…

Then I found out about the life story of C.E, who was born and raised on a farm. She explains that her family and she ate only what they grew and caught. She is still physically active, working out every day together with her friends.

Then, I found out stories about centenarian twins and their secret of getting older together and close as the main reason for their long life…

Confused as I was, I continued searching for the “secret”. An article about the Hunza people took my attention for I began to realize that I am closer to my answer. Hunza people or Hunzas are a population in a mountainous valley in the region of Pakistan.

The many reasons these people took my attention are the following:

1. The literacy rate of Hunza valley is more than 95%- which means that every Hunza has at least a high school diploma;

2. The Hunza region is home to people of four ethnicities;

3. There are two different religion in the Hunza region and people are divided between them, but;

4. The lifestyle of Hunza people is very simple and they are considered to be very welcoming and warm;

5. Some Hunzas live up to 150 years;

6. The women in Hunza can give birth at the age of 65.

7. They never eat processed food, and they eat apricot often and a lot.

8. They work in the fields from sunrise to sunset every day and they work hard.

Connecting together the dots of all the stories and facts presented above, here is my conclusion about how to have a long and healthy life:

1. You do need to educate through life. You can start developing a healthy mind in the young age, and you should never stop reading and thinking actively. Clarice Emley was a teacher, almost all Hunzas are educated, so we can say, we need a healthy developed brain activity to have a healthy life.

2. Single or not it doesn’t matter as long as you maintain healthy relationships during your whole life. “Healthy relationship” can sometimes mean a good connection with yourself, knowing and acknowledging all those hidden feelings, and helping them dissolve in a healthy energy, no matter how contagious they can be.

Using self- learning techniques and meditation can help you develop a better understanding of your needs and wishes, which can lead to a bigger and wider loving atmosphere for yourself and everyone around you.

Don’t hesitate to express your feelings, for suppressing them can sometimes lead to an abyss. Expressing your feelings can make your relationships “grow old” with you in a healthy direction.

So don’t stay away from marriage, but be able to “jump out” of an unstable and unhealthy one. At the end, it is your life that matters most, and the lives of those you love.

3. Avoid stress! Yes, stress is the greatest silent killer, the modern “exterminator” of life force.

Nowadays it is hard to ignore those stressful situations like hard working days, paying rents etc. but if you somehow manage to survive these modern obligations and complications, you should retire and slow down in some peaceful place, where you can reconnect with nature and try to live a calmer life.

4. Try to eat organic, natural food, and if you have the chance, grow it yourself. Maybe this is something you hear every day or even think of it often, but look at the Hunza people -they eat only what they grow, and they are healthy to the stadium they don’t even know what cancer is.

They die old and happy, seeing more in life than anyone of us. Maybe they don’t know what pizza is, but they see the sunrise many years after your last sunset.

They get to witness their great-grandchildren running and playing around. So think about that next time you reach for a fast food snack!

5. Don’t skip the physical activity! Even though it is hard, don’t give up! Think of all the working hours on the fields that Hunza people spend a day! It is hard but keeping your muscles “warm” can never be a bad thing.

Clarice Emley (we mentioned before) exercises every day. And she is 105! So, if she won’t give up her working out for the program, why should you? You are never getting younger but you should try to get older!

Yes, getting older is hard. Sometimes we have to give up many things and change our lives direction, but we do it for ourselves.

Why not try these things; maybe they will help you after all? Maybe you will live longer than anyone in your family. Maybe you will be the first one that can live for 200 years. And then, you will tell us your secret.

But till then, let’s use the knowledge of all those people that are older than 100 and still happy and healthy.

Good luck, and have a long and healthy life!
