Some tips for long life

Laugh often

A reputed cardiologist says Laughing at 100 to 200 times can be the same as rowing or jogging for ten minutes.Research shows the level of stress hormones reducing while heightening the antibodies and killer cells’activity in our bodies.

Living the Country life

People who live in green and open spaces, although living in cities
are prone to live longer than those living with the concrete
surrounding them.

Body weight matters

One of the main causes that increase the risk of stroke and heart
decease, speeding the ageing process, also cancers in the womb,
colon, breast, gall bladder and ovaries is over eating. If you can
reduce your body’s weight by 10 pounds, you can reduce your risk
of heart decease.

More children

A study done in the psychology of aging revealed that women who
have more children, have an extended life expectancy. The reason
for this could be that they get more contact and support from their
children and grandchildren as they grow older.

Smoking: An enemy of longevity

If you want to live a long, healthy life, make sure you’re among the
nonsmokers. Smoking contributes to heart disease, osteoporosis,
emphysema and other chronic lung problems, and stroke.

Totally avoid Tea and coffee 

Totally avoid Tea and coffee - They contain toxic substances, which
damage the liver in the long run. Tea takes approximately 6 hours to
digest and plays havoc with the metabolism of the body. Continuous
consumption of tea or coffee is said to result in damage to modular
oblongata, which links up all body nerves with the brain, and
therefore, controls all body functions.

Don’t take salt in excess

Use as little salt as possible. Just observe that any food provided by
nature is never salty in taste, it is always plain, sour or sweet.
Excessive salt corrodes our body like sea water, which is never
allowed to be drunk even if a person is thirsty.

The Story of the Butterfly

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.
One day a small opening appeared.
He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours
as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole.
Then it stopped, as if it couldn't go further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly.
He took a pair of scissors and
snipped off the remaining bits of cocoon.
The butterfly emerged easily, but
it had a swollen body and shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch it,
expecting that any minute the wings would enlarge
and expand enough to support the body,
Neither happened!
In fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life
crawling around.
It was never able to fly.
What the man in his kindness
and haste did not understand:
The restricting cocoon and the struggle
required by the butterfly to get through the opening
was a way of forcing the fluid from the body
into the wings so that it would be ready
for flight once that was achieved.
Sometimes struggles are exactly
what we need in our lives.
Going through life with no obstacles would cripple us.
We will not be as strong as we could have been
and we would never fly
