10 tips for a long, vital life Thousands of books have been written on what to eat, how to exercise and even where to work in order to enjoy a healthier, happier life. But the keys to a long, vital life are basic. The International Council on Active Aging (ICAA) has put together the 10 tips below based on recent research. And in most cases, they apply to people of all ages.

Keep your motor running. Don’t underestimate your ability to recharge through lifestyle changes and gain the energy to do the things you love to do when you want to do them.
4
Eat a balanced diet. A balanced diet and healthy weight are keys to physical and mental health. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables; go easy on the sugar and salt. Cut back on calories if your weight is trending the wrong way. You can do it!
10:30–11:00 a.m..................................... (Free) Barcode #1053958
5
Regular Exercise. Staying physically active fuels the body and mind and helps prevent physical and mental decline. Just walking for as little as 10 minutes, 3 times a day is infinitely better than doing nothing. The key is to be consistent. Get started!
6
Connect with people. Keep your social life active or do volunteer work on a regular basis. Research shows that people who volunteer have higher levels of well-being and life satisfaction than people who don't.
7
Don’t STAY down. If you're feeling out of sorts for two weeks or more, talk with your doctor. In many instances, exercising and changing to a healthier diet can help lift you out of the doldrums.
8
Keep learning. Learning adds a needed dimension to life, whether it involves staying in touch with what is happening in the world or keeping the brain stimulated. The best news is that you can start learning new subjects or physical activities at any age. So why not start today?
9
INVEST in you. Embarking on new behaviors to realize your goals takes energy and effort. Consider your effort to improve as a small investment in a plan that pays big dividends. The results will be well worth it.
10
Have fun! Do what you need to do to kick up your heels and have a good time. Ride a bike, learn a language, take up square dancing. Step outside of your comfort zone if you have to. Make 2015 the best year ever to be alive.
