According to an eight-decade study, a few simple alterations in lifestyle can lead to longer, healthier lives. The study first started by the late Stanford University psychologist Louis Terman in 1921 before psychology professors Howard Friedman and Leslie Martin took over the project in 1990, and published a booked called The Longevity Project in 2011. Here are 6 ways to live a longer life:
- Be conscientious as defined by being prudent, responsible, persistent
- Connect socially with friends and family members
- Worry a little. A moderate amount appears to be optimal for a long life
- Get good genes since a third of longevity is attributable to genes
- Get married if you’re a man due to the fact that marriage can lengthen your lifespan, if you’re male
- Eat less
