10 Longevity Tips

According to Dr. Smith of the Jewish Home for the Aging in a recent article, living to 90 and beyond is pretty straightforward. He says, "the overall lesson is a simple one: Get out of bed in the morning and get active."

Apparently the Jewish Home has the highest number of residents living beyond 90. Based on their collective wisdom, here are Dr. Smith's top ten tips to increase your chances of reaching the century mark:

"1. Decide what is most important to you and focus on it. A lot of life's little annoyances don't seem so great if you keep your priorities straight.
2. Participate in some kind of physical exercise, depending on what your body will allow you to do.
3. Keep your mind sharp through mental exercise. The mind is a muscle. It must be used.
4. Have a balanced diet and pay attention to what you eat. In short, eat right.
5. Avoid isolation. Find someone to love and something to keep you engaged.
6. Relax. Don't let stress eat you up. The older people get, the more they seem to understand that it doesn't pay to sweat the small stuff.
7. Don't smoke at all and don't drink too much.
8. Remain spiritual. Believe in something.
9. Laugh every day. Happiness breeds contentment and laughter remains one of the best medicines.
10. Keep 'spice' in your life. Either in your food, your reading or your love life."

Makes a lot of sense!

Spice Up Your Knees with Ginger

Believe it or not, ginger extract was tested and found to significantly help people with stiff, sore, osteoarthritic knees. It contains a complex mix of compounds that apparently helps thwart inflammation. It has anticancer powers, too. Ginger is also great for nausea. Use fresh ginger to marinate meats or chicken, make ginger fried rice, or even salad dressing. For more info, check out ChefMD's Big Book of Culinary Medicine by John LaPuma, MD.
