Living in the country
It would seem that living in the country, rather than in a city or in the suburbs would lead to longer life with the clean air, less stress, etc. But, on balance, there are more hazareds and less help in the country. so, which is better, or does it matter?

DNA Tail
Apparently there is a "time-tail" of varying length on our DNA, the length of which determines longevity and which differs from person to person. Has anyone read/heard about this? Sign in to see full entry.

It was mentioned, half in jest . . . .
... that one way to live longer is to not allow another to open a large insurance policy on you. I wonder if there are statistics on the rate of death shortly after new, large life insurance policies are purchased. Sign in to see full entry.

Some ways of increasing longevity are both easy and obvious, yet we still do not do them.

Attitude
Perhaps the most important thing to do to live a longer life is to be as happy as possible as often as possible. It's not necessary to go overboard, Pollyannaish is too much. Merely be satisfied with who you are, where you are, and when you are. If there are things that "bug" you, either try to... Sign in to see full entry.
