Yekisa ukufuna umthombo wobusha. "Ukwenza ukulungisa okulula kokuphila kwakho kwansuku zonke kungadonsa iminyaka eyisishiyagalombili kuya kweyishumi empilweni yakho," kusho uDan Buettner kwincwadi yakhe ethengisa kakhulu yeNational Geographic, Izindawo Eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.

Nethimba labadobi bezibalo zabantu nodokotela, umhloli wamazwe wahamba waya emagumbini amane omhlaba-iSardinia, e-Italy; e-Okinawa, eJapane; ULoma Linda, eCalifornia; futhi, Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica-lapho amaphesenti aphezulu abantu behleka, baphila futhi bathanda kahle phakathi 100s yabo. Nazi izimfihlo zabo eziyisithupha zempilo yabo ekhokhiswe kakhulu kanye nempilo ende.

Ukuhlekela phezulu. "Kunento eyodwa evelele kuwo wonke amaqembu abantu abahlanganisa ikhulu leminyaka engihlangane nabo - bekungekho ukugquma eqenjini," kusho uBuettner. Ukuhleka akunciphisi nje ukukhathazeka. Iphinde ixegise imithambo yegazi, inciphise amathuba okuhlaselwa yinhliziyo, kusho uBuettner ecaphuna ucwaningo lwase-University of Maryland.

Yenza ukuzivocavoca kungasebenzi. Akekho noyedwa kwabaneminyaka eyikhulu u-Buettner nethimba lakhe abahlangabezane namarathoni okugijima noma i-iron pump. Abantu abangena kuma-100s abo bebenamandla aphansi okuzivocavoca-ukuhamba amabanga amade, ingadi

kanye nokudlala nezingane-ezilukwe ezinhlelweni zazo zansuku zonke. Ngenxa yalokho, bazivocavoca njalo ngaphandle kokucabanga ngakho. Ukuze usebenze ngokuzivocavoca ohlelweni lwakho: fihla irimothi ye-TV, khetha izitebhisi ngaphezulu kwekheshi, upake kude nomnyango wezitolo bese ubheka amathuba okuhamba ngebhayisikili noma wokuhamba ngezinyawo esikhundleni segesi ebabazekayo.

Sebenzisa amasu okudla ahlakaniphile. Inkulumo yamaConfucian ejwayelekile esikweni lase-Okinawan, uHara Hachi Bu, isho ukuthi "yidla uze ugcwale ngamaphesenti angama-80." Kuthatha isisu sakho imizuzu engu-20 ukutshela ubuchopho bakho ukuthi wanelisekile, ngakho uma uzisika ngaphambi kokuba uzizwe ugcwele ungakugwema ukudla kakhulu. Elinye iqhinga? Misa ikhishi lakho ukuze uthole i-noshing enempilo ngokubeka amakhabethe anamapuleti amancane futhi ususe i-telly. “Ukudla ngesikhathi ubukele i-TV, ulalele umculo noma udlala nekhompyutha,” kusho uBuettner, &quto;kuholela ekusetshenzisweni okungenangqondo.” Uthi, gxila ekudleni, ukuze udle kancane, kudla kancane futhi ujabulele ukunambitheka nokuthungwa okwengeziwe.

Thatha i-nutcracker yakho. Abaphenyi abafunde umphakathi wama-Seventh-day Adventist eLoma Linda, eCalif., Bathole ukuthi labo abadla amantongomane kahlanu ngeviki babecishe babe nengxenye yengcuphe yesifo senhliziyo futhi baphila iminyaka emibili ubude kunalabo abangayidlanga. "I-ounces elilodwa noma amabili enza ubuqili," kusho uBuettner. Amaphakethe we-stash snack kudrowa yakho yehhovisi noma isikhwama semali santambama. Noma engeza ama-walnuts noma ama-pecans athosiwe kumasaladi aluhlaza, uphonsa ama-cashews agosiwe kusaladi yenkukhu noma izibopho zezinhlanzi eziphezulu ngamantongomane aqoshiwe.

Khetha kahle ngombuthano wakho. Khetha ubungani bakho ngokucophelela. "Butha abantu abaseduze kwakho abazoqinisa impilo yakho," kusho uBuettner. Ama-Okinawa, abanye babantu abaphila isikhathi eside emhlabeni, banesiko lokungakheli nje amanethiwekhi wokuxhumana aqinile (abizwa ngama-moais) kepha futhi nokubanakekela. UKamada Nakazato, oneminyaka engu-102, akalokothi athathe usuku ngaphandle kokuhlangana nabangane bakhe abasondelene kakhulu-kusuka ebuntwaneni-ngenhloso yokuhleba okumnandi. Ngemuva kokuthola umjikelezo wakho wangaphakathi, wugcine unganciphisi. Yenza umzamo wokuzihlanganisa nabangane abahle ngokuhlala uthintana nabo futhi uchithe isikhathi nabo.

Phila ngenhloso. ECosta Rica ibizwa kanjalo plan de vida. E-Okinawa, ikigai. “Kuwo wonke umlando, labo ababephila isikhathi eside kakhulu babenomuzwa ocacile wenjongo,” kusho uBuettner. "Kumele wazi ukuthi kungani uvuka njalo ekuseni." Thatha isikhathi sokuphinda uxhumane namanani akho bese uhlaziya izinkanuko zakho namandla akho. Bese ubheka imisebenzi noma amakilasi lapho ungenza khona izinto eziningi ezikwenza ujabule kakhulu empilweni.
