They make up the fastest-growing age group in the United States-but how do people who live to 90 (and beyond) do it? That's the question neurologist Claudia H. Kawas, M.D., at UC-Irvine, set out to answer as co-principal investigator of "The 90+ Study," one of the largest studies of this kind in the world. "We looked at which daily health habits might be relevant to achieving this milestone."
A few easy strategies may surprise you, and even give you reason to say "cheers," as modest caffeine and alcohol consumption were tied to super-aging success.
If that doesn't make you smile, this surely will: "Gaining 5 to 10 pounds per decade after age 50 is linked with longevity," says Dr. Kawas, explaining that a little extra padding helps keep us robust.
Now that you've officially been given the go-ahead to enjoy a latte and pastry as you flip through these pages, read on for more live-longer strategies you’ll want to add to your daily routine.
Secret:
Hitting the dance floor
You know exercise is key to a long life, but there’s no need to hit the gym, assures Dr. Kawas. “Even 15 minutes of moderate exercise a day is linked with longevity—30 minutes is better, and 45 minutes is best.”
