Cima ukukhangela umthombo wolutsha. "Ukwenza ii-tweaks ezilula kubomi bakho bemihla ngemihla kunokuthatha iminyaka esibhozo ukuya kweli-10 ebomini bakho," utshilo uDan Buettner kumthengisi wakhe weNational Geographic, IiNdawo eziBlue.

Kunye neqela lababhali beedemografi kunye noogqirha, umhloli wamazwe waya kwiimbombo zone zomhlaba-eSardinia, e-Itali; eOkinawa, eJapan; eLoma Linda, eKhalifoniya; yaye, Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica-apho iipesenti eziphezulu zabemi bayahleka, abaphilayo kwaye bathanda kakuhle kwi-100 yabo. Nazi iimfihlo zabo ezintandathu kwimpilo yabo ephezulu kunye nobomi obude.

Hleka kakhulu ngaphandle. "Inye into evelele kwiqela ngalinye labantu abaneminyaka eyi-centenarians endidibene nayo-kwakungekho nomsindo kwiqela," kusho uBuettner. Ukuhleka akunciphisi nje ukukhathazeka. Iphinda iyenze ithambe imithambo yegazi, yehlise umngcipheko wokuhlaselwa sisifo sentliziyo, utshilo uBuettner ecaphula uphando kwiYunivesithi yaseMaryland.

Yenza umthambo ungabinangqondo. Akukho namnye kwabaneminyaka elikhulu uBuettner kunye neqela lakhe badibane neembaleki ezibalekayo okanye i-iron emponthiweyo. Abantu abenza ii-100 zabo babenomthambo omncinci wokuzivocavoca-ukuhamba imigama emide, igadi

kunye nokudlala nabantwana-abalukiweyo kwizinto zabo zemihla ngemihla. Ngenxa yoko, benza umthambo rhoqo ngaphandle kokucinga ngako. Ukuzilolonga ngaphandle komthungo kwishedyuli yakho: Fihla i-TV ekude, khetha izitephusi ngaphezulu kwe-elevator, ipakishe kude nesango leevenkile kwaye ujonge amathuba okukhwela ibhayisekile okanye ukuhamba endaweni yegesi evuthayo.

Sebenzisa izicwangciso zokutya ezifanelekileyo. Ibinzana leConfucian eliqhelekileyo kwinkcubeko yaseOkinawan, uHara Hachi Bu, lithetha ukuba "yitya ude ube ugcwele iipesenti ezingama-80." Kuthatha isisu sakho imizuzu engama-20 ukuxelela ingqondo yakho ukuba wanelisekile, ngoko ke ukuba uzinqumle ngaphambi kokuba uzive ugcwele ungakuphepha ukutya kakhulu. Elinye iqhinga? Misela ikhitshi lakho lokugcina impilo ngendlela efanelekileyo ngokugcina iikhabhathi ezinamacwecwe amancinci kunye nokususa i-telly. "Ukutya ngelixa ubukele umabonwakude, umamele umculo okanye udlala ngekhompyuter," utshilo uBuettner, & quto; kukhokelela ekusebenziseni okungenangqondo.

Thatha i-nutcracker yakho. Abaphandi abaphanda ngebandla lamaSabatha eLoma Linda, eCalif., bafumanisa ukuba abo batya amandongomane izihlandlo ezihlanu ngeveki babenesiqingatha somngcipheko wesifo sentliziyo yaye baphila iminyaka emibini ixesha elide kunabo babengatyi. "I-ounce enye okanye ezimbini zikhohlisa," kusho uBuettner. Stash iipakethi zesnack kwidrowa yeofisi yakho okanye isipaji sokuqubha emva kwemini. Okanye faka i-walnuts okanye i-pecans egcotyiweyo kwiisaladi eziluhlaza, uphonsa ii-cashews ezigcadiweyo kwisaladi yenkukhu okanye kwiintlanzi eziphezulu zentlanzi ngamantongomane acoliweyo.

Khetha malunga nesangqa sakho. Bakhethe ngobunono abahlobo bakho. "Qokelela abantu abakungqongileyo abaya komeleza indlela ophila ngayo," utshilo uBuettner. Abantu baseOkinawa, abanye babantu abaphila ixesha elide emhlabeni, banesiko lokungazenzeli nje iinethiwekhi ezomeleleyo (ezibizwa ngokuba zii-moais) kodwa nokubakhulisa. U-Kamada Nakazato, oneminyaka eyi-102, akaze aye ngosuku ngaphandle kokudibana nabahlobo bakhe abasondeleyo-ukusuka ebuntwaneni-kwiseshoni yokuhleba okumnandi. Emva kokuba uchonge isangqa sakho sangaphakathi, sigcine siphele. Yenza umgudu wokunxulumana nabahlobo bokwenene ngokuhlala unxibelelana nabo rhoqo uze uchithe ixesha kunye nabo.

Phila ngenjongo. ECosta Rica ibizwa ngokuba isicwangciso de vida. E-Okinawa, ikigai. “Kuyo yonke ibhodi, abo baphila ixesha elide babenenjongo ecacileyo,” utshilo uBuettner. "Kufuneka uyazi ukuba kutheni uvuka rhoqo ekuseni." Thatha ixesha lokunxibelelana kwakhona kunye nexabiso lakho kwaye uphinde uhlole ukuthanda kwakho kunye namandla. Emva koko jonga imisebenzi okanye iiklasi apho unokwenza ngakumbi zezona zinto zikwenza wonwabe ebomini.
