You may credit “good genes”, but life expectancy is 80% up to you. A few things like eating whole foods, moving naturally and doing things that make you happy can help you add years to a long, healthy life. 

Here are some simple rules to follow for living a long, healthy and happy life - 

1. Believe in yourself, but be aware of your limitations
The first step to accomplishing all your goals and making your dreams come true starts with this simple realisation that you are human: you are not perfect and you can’t do everything alone.

2. Use everything in moderation
Embrace the philosophy of “having enough”: there’s no need to go to extremes, so exercise common sense and learn to curb any obsessive behaviour.

3. Treat others how they want to be treated
You might end up getting in trouble if you try treating others how you want to be treated, instead of how they would like you to treat them. 

4. Family first
You don’t have to stop living your life for your family members, but you’ll feel far less guilt if you prioritise and make time for them.

5. Educate yourself
The most interesting people are the ones who take an interest in life and never let go of the “beginner’s mind”. They discover learning opportunities and continue to grow, both personally and professionally.
