A long healthy life is no accident. It begins with good genes, but it also depends on good habits.

It's hard to reach [the age of] 100. We're not programmed for longevity. We are programmed for something called procreative success.

Having a purpose and knowing exactly what your values are will add additional years to your life.

If you’re eating vegetables you are probably pushing unhealthier food out of your diet.

Inconvenience yourself: ditch the remote, the garage door opener, the leaf-blower; buy a bike, broom, rake, and snow shovel.

Gratitude always comes into play; research shows that people are happier if they are grateful for the positive things in their lives, rather than worrying about what might be missing.

The beauty of moving naturally, i.e. walking and gardening, is they're low impact. You're less likely to fall down and break a hip. Setting up your life so you're nudged into general physical activity every day is a strategy for your entire life from age 10 to 100.
