I am 104 years old today!

People are living longer. See if you can add anything to this list of reasons that answers the question "why?"

1) More people are getting involved in exercise and fitness at a later age in life.

                               Seeing role models(via television and the internet)who are staying and getting

                               fit in the senior years, encourages the viewer. "If she/he can do it, so

                               can I."

                                 

2) There is an increase in medical technology.

                               New medicines and enhanced tests, detect diseases in the early stages

                               making diseases easier to treat and cure.

3) Opportunities to make friends and find mates increase due to the internet.

                               Social networking sites afford people the chance to mingle with

                                thousands, cutting down on loneliness and isolation. This helps to cut

                               down on depression and lethargy.

4) People are eating healtier.

                                Today people are reading about and researching ways to eat and cook 

                                 healthier. Wanting to look good and feel good, vitamin-laden foods

                                 and antioxidant- enriched foods are desired.

5) Many have stopped smoking.

                                Stop smoking and one greatly decreases their chances of contracting

                                lung disease and heart disease, top killers!


                                                Have a great day and enjoy every moment!
