Here are 20 things they say make you live longer or to 100:


20. Get Married


19. Laugh out Loud


18. Buy a Pet


17. QUIT SMOKING! On average it takes off 13-15 years of your life!


16. Exercise more


15. Give your brain a work out like reading


14. Don't stay in the sun too long


13. Go to your doctor regularly


12. Eat fish


11. Eat more fruits and veggies


10. Cuddle-studies found that couples who even hold hands for 10 mintues lower their heart rate and blood pressure


9. Limit Alcohol!


8. Get enough sleep


7. Have a positive attitude


6. Consume a low fat diet


5. Go to the dentist


4. Manage stress


3. Go back to school-Harvard found that college graduates live longer than high school graduates


2. Take vitamines


1. Drink tea


Some of these are obvious, but others I had no idea!

I would think that staying in the sun a lot would make you live longer because I always feel better when I spend time in the sun, but I guess too much of anything is bad.  Being married makes sense, and smoking haha... duh.  I didn't know that it took that many years off your life though, 13-15 years is a lot of memories and happiness to miss out on.

My friend has an intestinal disease where there isn't any treatment for it... but his doctor said that the best thing he can do for himself is stay stress free.  I feel that is pretty much impossible, but stress is actually very unhealthy for us.
