11 RULES for Living a Long, Healthy, Young Life
Follow these daily (or as much as possible), and you’ll add YEARS to your life.
# 1️⃣ Never stop managing stress — stress is the #1 ager
Chronic stress destroys collagen, hormones, and vital organs.
Your healing journey? Your boundaries? The peace you’re choosing?
**This is what adds YEARS to your life.**
Daily stress reducers:
* 10 min quiet alone in the morning
* slow breathing
* warm tea
* journaling
* saying “no” without guilt
* stepping away from drama
* nature walks
# 2️⃣ Walk 30–60 minutes a day (THE LONGEVITY SECRET)
People in long-life areas walk EVERY DAY.
Not hard workouts — *walking*.
Walking lowers inflammation, belly fat, disease, AND aging speed.
Do this:
✔ 30 min walk daily OR
✔ 10 min after meals
# 3️⃣ Eat like a Blue Zone queen
These are the longest-living people in the world.
Eat more:
* beans (black, pinto, lentils)
* veggies
* berries
* nuts & seeds
* olive oil
* sweet potatoes
* whole grains
* herbal teas
* fish (2–3x/week)
Eat less:
* fried food
* red meat
* processed food
* sugar
* alcohol
* soda
Your new motto:
**“Mostly plants, sometimes treats.”**
# 4️⃣ Sleep like your life depends on it (because it does)
7–9 hours.
Deep sleep heals your brain, skin, metabolism, emotions, and organs.
Night routine:
* low lights
* no screens 30 minutes before bed
* magnesium (this helps so much)
* warm shower
* soft music
* cool room
* comfortable bedding
# 5️⃣ Keep your body at a stable weight
We’re not talking about being thin.
We’re talking about **stable**.
Weight that goes way up & down = inflammation.
Even being 10–20 lbs above ideal is fine IF you're stable.
# 6️⃣ Drink water all day — not soda
Water keeps your organs clean, brain sharp, and skin youthful.
Soda, energy drinks, and sugary coffee age the body faster.
Aim for 70–90 oz/day.
# 7️⃣ Lift something twice a week
Muscle = longevity.
Women lose muscle after 30 → leads to weakness, brittle bones, wrinkles, and metabolism crash.
Quick routine (2 days/week):
* 10 squats
* 10 lunges
* 10 glute bridges
* 10 push-ups (or wall pushups)
* 15 min total
That's it.
# 8️⃣ Stay emotionally healthy + connected
People with good relationships live longer.
But also:
* let go of toxic people
* seek peace over chaos
* choose love over stress
* maintain purpose
* talk about feelings
* build meaning
# 9️⃣ Minimal alcohol
Alcohol = faster aging, gut issues, sleep issues.
You don’t have to cut it out, but limit to:
* 1 drink occasionally
* never more than 2 per setting
* hydrate before & after
# 🔟 Keep dopamine healthy
Slow-aging brains require *balanced* dopamine.
Do more:
* reading
* nature
* creating
* building goals
* helping people
* laughing
* love/connection
Do less:
* doom scrolling
* TikTok overstimulation
* getting pulled into drama
# 1️⃣1️⃣ Take longevity supplements (the right ones)
