Advice for living a long life: let me save you some time

  • Eat healthy
  • Get enough sleep
  • Exercise regularly

Each time I succumb to click-bait links to articles promising the secrets to living a long life, the writings all boil down to the three pieces of advice above. After reading about a million of these pieces, I think I get the point.

Next time you see an article about living longer, just remember these three things, and read something original. You can thank me for all the time I have saved you later.

Someone, somewhere is selling a pill that will take care of all that for you. I'll send them your email. :-)

Seriously, however, I would add one item to the list: keep your mind engaged. If you let your mind deteriorate, all the rest of that won't matter.

Hi Tim,

I had to look up the word "deteriorate" but I agree. Somehow, I think we have less control over the condition of our minds than we do of our bodies. But control, for the most part, is an illusion anyway, right?

Good to hear from you. I look forward to learning more about the magic pill.
