By 2050 3.2 million people will be 100 years or older, compared to 316 000 in 2011. So, what can you do to become a part of this elite centenarian club?
How can you, live to 100?
There are some obvious steps like, stop getting take-out.
65 year-olds who cooked 5 times a week were 45% more likely to live an extra decade. Being a vegetarian means you have a 12% lowered risk of premature death. And, if you have to keep eating meat, lay off the cold-cuts. Processed meats like sausage, bacon and cold-cuts are linked to a higher incidence of dying from cancer and heart disease. Less obviously, could you win an Oscar? Winners, on average live 4 years longer than their losing peers. Even a Nobel Prize could help, as finalists end up to living 1 to 2 years longer than their runner-ups.
Now, it may be time to move. The 20 counties in the US with the highest expediencies, also have average altitudes of 5967 feet above sea level. In Japan, a woman lives to 87 on average, and men to 80. Compared to the US with 82 and 77 years old, respectively.
Then, like the Japanese, you should start consuming more green tea and fish. A study of 40 500 Japanese people found that those who drank 5 or more cups of green tea daily, had the lowest risk of dying from heart disease. As well, those with a diet rich in Omega-3s from fish lived an extra 2.2 years.
The world health organisation recommends at least 150 minutes per week of exercise, potentially adding 4 years to your life. This could be either swimming or even... shopping? A Taiwanese study found that those who shop daily, even if they didn't buy anything, lowered their risk of death by 23% to 28%
Also, have sex, One study found that men who had sex only once a month had a 45% higher risk of heart disease than those had sex 2 to 3 times a week. When it comes to sleeping, a long term study found that men who got less than 6 hours a night were 4 times more likely to die over the 14 year period of the study. With this in mind, it's important to be realistic literally.
A German study found that those who overestimate their future happiness have a higher risk of death compared to their peers, who predicted a darker future. People who identify as Hispanic live an average life an average of 2.5 years longer than the average American. Researchers hypothesise that values of family togetherness provide a longevity boost.
A polish study found that dads of girls live 74 weeks longer than average than fathers of sons. And if your women, be more like Beyoncé and hope for twins.
New research has discovered that having twins could be an evolutionary adaptation where healthy mums pass on double the genes at once And these mums are also known to live longer.
When it comes to planning your life, get married, a Danish study of gay men found that those who were married had lower mortality rates. But, don't get married to the wrong person Another study of 1700 married adults found that the more a coupled argued, the worse their health.
Don't force for retirement, as the Harvard longevity project found that those who have satisfying careers and continued to work into their 70s made it to older ages. And, just throw a pet in there as well. Research shows that both cat and dog owners tend to live longer than those without.
Even if you haven't been living healthy so far, it's never too late to start. A study found that taking on healthy habits like eating good food, exercise, meditation and support from friends and family can increase the length of your telomeres, the caps on the end of your chromosomes that that fray as we age. So, get started with all these tips, and start prepping for the 100-year-old birthday bash.
