100In today’s world most people want to live to a ripe old age and will do almost anything to slow down the aging process. One of the biggest factors that determines how well you age is not your genes but how well you actually live and take care of yourself from day to day. A recent study of 20,000 British folks was published in the British Medical Journal and it showed that you can cut your risk of having a stroke in half by doing the following four things: being active for 30 minutes a day, eating five daily servings of fruit and vegetables, and avoiding tobacco and excess alcohol.

Although those are some of the obvious steps you can take to age well, researchers have discovered that centenarians tend to share certain traits in how they eat, move about, and deal with stress, which are the sort of things we can emulate to improve our own aging process. Bear in mind that getting to age 100 is enormously more likely if your parents did. Still, researchers believe that assuming you’ve sidestepped genes for truly fatal diseases like Huntington’s, there’s nothing stopping you from living independently well into your 90s. so go ahead and shoot for those triple digits. Follow these 10 habits, and give yourself a shot at shooting for those triple digits.

hypertensionToday I’m gonna be talking about “The Silent Killer”.

A couple of years ago our domestic worker got really sick and eventually died a result of high blood pressure. It was really sad because he had been around since we (my brother and sister) were kids and was basically part of the family. I was young at the time and did not understand the negative impact hypertension has on one’s health. That is why I am writing this post to make people sensitive to this silent killer which is known as hypertension.

A high percentage of adults all over the world have high blood pressure. These hypertensives are three times more likely to have a heart attack, five times more likely to develop heart failure, and eight times more likely to suffer a stroke than people with normal blood pressure.

Did you know that most successful people are known to have very high levels of energy. Since energy is the fuel with which everything is achieved, there seems to be a direct relationship between energy levels and levels of accomplishment. It is hard to imagine a tired, burned-out person achieving much in life. On the other hand, energetic, positive, forward-moving individuals seem to get and enjoy far more of the things life has to offer than does the average person.

We have been led to believe that there is basically one kind of energy, and we supposedly replenish this energy by sleeping at night, and during the day, we use it up again. It’s like we’re machines powered by batteries, and each night we recharge our batteries for seven or eight hours. However, there are some problems with this view of energy. The biggest problem is that it doesn’t deal with the fact that there are actually three different kinds of energy, each of which is necessary for maximum performance.
