If you’re looking to enjoy living for as long as you possibly can, perhaps you’ll be interested to hear what these people have to say about human longevity:

• The Georgian of the Caucasus Mountains (in Southern Russia);
• The Vilcabamba Indians of the Ecuadorean Andes; and…
• The people of the Hunza Valley in Kashmir.

All three follow this no nonsense recipe for a long, happy life:

1. Exercise regularly and consistently;
2. Don’t use preservatives or artificial colorants;
3. Eat a frugal diet which is high in fiber, low in salt, fat and refined sugars -plus- rarely fry in oil;
4. Drink water with a high mineral content, from a well or mountain streams;
5. Consume plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables;
6. Never experience loneliness;
7. Practice holistic medicine namely using traditional herbs and medicines to prevent -and- cure disease;
8. Enjoy regular sex, even up to the venerable age of 99 ; )
9. Live in extended families since they offer cradle to grave security;
10. Seldom drink, smoke or otherwise poison yourself;
11. Live at high altitudes where there is little air pollution;
12. Respect your elders, especially those who lead busy active lives well into their 90′s;
13. Emphasize good relationships over the pursuit of wealth or success.

Take a few moments to reflect on these wise words.

Succeeding in business will may only bring you short lived joyful moments if the price to pay for such mercantile rewards is a miserable, short span life.

Look for balance in everything you venture into and you’ll see, doors will open more easily when you need them to.
