I :heart: Reader’s Digest! It’s a cheap little magazine but with tons of informations, trivia things and hilarious jokes. For me who has a habit to bring a book everytime I enter bathroom, Reader’s Digest is the perfect reading material. And because not everyone reading this magz (which they shoud do^^), I will often share an artikel from Reader’s Digest just because it’s interesting.
So here’s from RD’s June 2002
Biologist reckon our bodies could last up to 120 years. We all know about smoking, exercise, diet, etc, but here are some other longevity-boosters (nb: gains aren’t cumulative)
1.Ask lots of question
Add up to 5 years
Research following 1200 pensioners for five years found those who were most curious had a 30% better chance of living beyond this period. Higher curiousity levels may mean better adaption to changes, challenges and stress.
Note from the blogger: who said that curiousity kills the cat?
2.Don’t make mobile phone calls in the car
Add 1-2 years
Every day people blabbing on mobiles while driving crash. Each one-minute shaves an average of 45 seconds off your life.
3.Think positives
Add 2 years
A study of AIDS patients found those with pessimistic outlooks died on average two years before more positive subjects.
4.Go to church twice a week
Add 7-14 years
An American study reported that white people attending religious services more than once a week lived on average seven years longer than those who didn’t. Among black people the figures are 14 years. Churchgoers have lower rate of smoking and drinking, and strong social ties.
Note from the blogger: Thus conclude that it’s nothing to do with religious fanatism, just a matter of self control and better discipline in your life (which is the base of some religion teaching)
5.Be eccentric
Add 5-10 years
A Scottish neuropsychologist studying 1000 eccentrics (one abseils from building dressed as an pink elephant; one built a lectern on his roof to preach to his sheep) found they live five to ten years longer than normal people. One reason, they are unencumbered by the usual worries the rest of us fret over.
Note from the blogger: Well, being different is always fun and now it’s proofed can longer your life span hoho…
update from MaO:
OK I’m impulsive! But never thought I will become this impulsive ’till actually kidnapped a stray kitten. I forget how relentless a kitten is, he’s continuously miauuuwww and mioww-ing all day >.< *sigh* after get used to Kimi who hasn’t an attention deficit syndrome, this new situation is quite annoying. And apparently Kimi is annoyed too, because he looks angry everytime MaO start meowwing.
