The Secret to a Long and Healthy Life?

Was cruising around YouTube today and came across a clip about a guy who claimed he was 114 years old.  Born the son of a Brazilian MD he said his father passed along advice he followed to achieve a long and healthy life.  

Daily diet he said is key.  The five foods he consumed daily is a must.  Garlic, olive oil, cinnamon, honey and chocolate.  

He said white meats are ok but to stay away from red meat and fried foods.  Organic fruits and vegetables should also be a daily staple.  

Thinking about this should baffle your imagination.  He saw the inventions of the automobile and airplane, survived WWI, the Great Depression, WWII, the Korean, Vietnam and Gulf Wars, the inventions of computer and internet.

Still more long life advice from this man coming up in this Thread.

Stop eating food that causes cancer  life solved

Citrus fruits, tomatoes, leafy greens such as lettuce, cabbage, spinach, kale.  Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots are excellent vegetables.

Fatty fish such as Salmon and Sardines.

 outstanding list of vegetables. you're gonna live past 100 whether you want to or not if you eat that everyday. 

In addition to diet and exercise, the following lifestyle choices affect longevity and quality of life.  Not smoking. Limit alcohol.  Enough sleep.  Hydrate.  Socialize.  Positive thinking.  Since declining health is inevitable in old age, important for seniors to have family support.  For examples, help with walking, avoiding falls, visiting doctors and buying food or medicine.

Morning walks was another daily regimen mentioned by the 114 year old.  

got an annual membership at a local trampoline park ($199)  use it 3-4x a week, avg .44 cents per use.

activates trillions of cells, with the acceleration / deceleration / moments of zero gravity.

great cardio, no post workout soreness .... studies show 15 min of this type of cardio is equivalent to 50 jog.

NASA study shows (mini-trampoline) as the best way to reacclimate humans after extended periods of time in space.

lotsa dogma, 'that's a kid thing' .... usually I'm at the T park when its a ghost town.

blood pressure normalized, 133/77 yesterday, & its biggest benefit is lymphatic drainage

lots of great common sense advice above, just my 2 cents, after a deep dive research into rebounding.

Trampoline workouts benefit is no stress on the knees.  It’s something younger adults don’t think about but, trust me, healthy knees are critical as you age.
