1
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.439
You' ve ever wondered why some
people get to be a hundred years old

2
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:14.279
with a smile on their face,
while others just get to sixty complaining about

3
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:21.440
everything, the answer is in their
daily habits. Today I' m going

4
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:25.920
to reveal thirteen habits that could add
decades to your life. You knew that

5
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:31.559
in Okinawa, Japan, there are
more centennials per hundred zero inhabitants than anywhere

6
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:37.159
else in the world. It'
s not a coincidence. Their secrets are

7
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:42.520
in these thirteen habits and don'
t worry. You don' t have

8
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:48.119
to move to a Japanese island to
benefit from these secrets. We' re

9
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:53.039
not talking about eating broccoli three times
a day or exercising until you faint.

10
00:00:54.119 --> 00:01:00.119
These are simple habits that anyone can
incorporate inspired in the blue zone of the

11
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:07.040
world. Those places where people live
more and better. The last habit is

12
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.840
going to surprise you so much that
you want to start practicing it right away.

13
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:18.959
Then you' re ready to figure
out how to live a long and

14
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.959
happy life before you start. If
you find value in these episodes, please

15
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:34.599
subscribe and click the bell to stay
updated. Let' s start habit a

16
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.159
natural movement. Have you ever thought
that to be fit you need hours in

17
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:45.239
the gym or run marathons get ready
for a surprise that will change your thinking.

18
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.599
Let' s talk about the natural
movement. Yeah, it' s

19
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:55.680
that simple. Centenarians in Okinawa do
not have gym memberships, but they are

20
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.760
in better shape than many young people
in the city. His secret is constantly

21
00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:06.000
moving throughout the day. Imagine that
your body is like a car. If

22
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:12.240
you leave it parked too long,
it rusts, but if you use it

23
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.800
regularly, even for short journeys,
it stays in good condition. That'

24
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:23.439
s how our body works. Okinahüenses
incorporate movement into their daily lives in incredibly

25
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:30.759
simple ways, cultivate their own gardens, walk to run errands, and some

26
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:38.759
even practice taichí in parks. You
don' t need to do anything extravagant,

27
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:44.400
just stay active. You knew that
just getting out of your chair every

28
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:50.840
hour can increase your life expectancy.
A study by the University of California found

29
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.639
that people who move frequently during the
day have a lower risk of premature death.

30
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.919
Who would have thought that such a
simple thing could have such a big

31
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:07.400
impact. But don' t worry. We' re not saying you need

32
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:13.520
to turn your office into a gym. Small changes can make a big difference.

33
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:19.120
Try these ideas. You park your
car a little further from your destination

34
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:24.599
and walk the rest. Two use
the stairs instead of the elevator, three

35
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:30.879
dance while doing home chores, four
have phone calls standing or walking, five

36
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:38.439
play with your children or pets in
the park. The trick is to make

37
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:44.000
movement a natural part of your day, not one more task on your dependent

38
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:49.840
list. It' s like adding
spices to your food. A little here

39
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:53.360
and there improves all the flavor of
your life and here is the best.

40
00:03:54.439 --> 00:04:00.479
Natural movement benefits not only your body, but also your mind. Studies have

41
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:06.080
shown that regular exercise can improve your
mood, reduce stress, and even enhance

42
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:15.040
your creativity. Who doesn' t
want to be happier and more creative,

43
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:20.360
so the next time you feel guilty
about not going to the gym, remember

44
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:25.759
that every step counts, every stretch, every spontaneous dance in your kitchen,

45
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.199
every play session with your dog in
the park adds up to a longer and

46
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:38.800
happier life. Natural movement is like
a long- term investment. Small daily

47
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:44.839
deposits accumulate over time to give you
great benefits and the best thing is that

48
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:50.519
you don' t need special equipment
or extraordinary skills, just your body and

49
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:57.720
the will to stay active. Let' s move on to the second habit,

50
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:04.480
find your ikigai. Habito two,
find your ikigai. You' ve

51
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:09.839
ever wondered what your raison d'être is. That question, which may

52
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:15.800
seem overwhelming, is actually the key
to this second habit. Ikigai is not

53
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.759
the name of a new sushi dish, although it does come from Japan,

54
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:26.800
and Ikigaai is a Japanese concept that
translates roughly as the reason for being or

55
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:32.360
the reason you wake up every morning. It' s that sweet spot,

56
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:36.759
where what you love in, what
you' re good, what the world

57
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:42.040
needs and what they can pay you
for, they intercept. But why is

58
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:46.519
it so important, as it turns
out that having a purpose not only makes

59
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.920
you happier, but can also add
years to your life. A study by

60
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:59.160
the University of Rushin Chicago found that
people with a strong sense of purpose or

61
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:05.120
n n n n NS were fifteen
percent less likely to die prematurely. Now

62
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:11.920
before you panic, thinking that you
need to discover the meaning of life before

63
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:16.680
dinner, breathe in finding your quiga
and it doesn' t have to be

64
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:23.480
complicated. In fact, he'
s probably already there waiting to be discovered.

65
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:29.000
I propose a quick exercise. Take
a sheet of paper and draw four

66
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:34.160
overlapping circles as the Olympic rings,
but with one less. In each circle

67
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:40.439
write one what you love to do, two in what you are good,

68
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:47.040
three what the world needs four,
so they can pay you. Now pause

69
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:51.959
the episode and come back when you' re done. I' ll wait

70
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:59.399
for you here smart cool now look
where these circles cross. That intersection could

71
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:03.759
be your wikigai. Maybe you'
ll find you love cooking You' re

72
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:09.600
good at it. The world needs
healthy food and you can make money from

73
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:15.319
it. Buon. You' ve
found a clue to your ikigai, but

74
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.319
don' t worry if you don' t find it right away. The

75
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:24.720
ikigai is not something you discover overnight. It' s more like a plant

76
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:30.519
you grow over time. Sometimes you
just need to start doing things you like

77
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:36.199
and see where they' re taking
you. Okinawa residents, those teachers of

78
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:43.439
longevity, have a hikigai that goes
beyond work for some may be taking care

79
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:50.560
of their grandchildren, for others practicing
a traditional art. The important thing is

80
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:55.920
that it gives them a reason to
get up every morning with enthusiasm. And

81
00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:01.600
here comes the best. Your Ikigai
can change time. You' re not

82
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:07.160
tied to one thing forever. As
you grow and change, your purpose can

83
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:13.839
evolve with you. It' s
like having multiple seasons in the series of

84
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:20.000
your life, each with its own
exciting theme, so the next time you

85
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.920
find yourself stuck in the routine,
ask yourself what excites me, what makes

86
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:31.439
me miss the notion of time.
These questions could be the first step towards

87
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:37.240
your Ikigai. Remember, it'
s not about finding the greatest or most

88
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.720
impressive purpose. It' s about
finding something that makes you feel alive and

89
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:48.000
useful. It can be as simple
as making someone smile every day or as

90
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:54.120
complex as solving climate change. The
important thing is to motivate you. Now

91
00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:01.120
we' ll tackle the third habit, reduce stress. Habits reduce stress.

92
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.759
You' ve ever felt your head
is about to burst out of stress.

93
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.559
Take it easy. You' re
not just stress. It' s like

94
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.840
that awkward guest who arrives unannounced and
stays longer than he should. But if

95
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.320
I told you there' s a
way to show him the exit door,

96
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.759
yeah, I know what you'
re thinking. Easier to say than to

97
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:30.320
do. But don' t worry. We' re not going to suggest

98
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:35.639
that you move to a cave in
the Himalayas, although let' s admit

99
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.039
it sometimes sounds tempting. Chronic stress
is like a silent thief who steals years

100
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:46.399
of life from us. Studies have
shown that prolonged stress can shorten the telomeres

101
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:52.320
of those tiny caps at the ends
of our chromosomes that protect our adn.

102
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:58.879
When telomeres shorten, our cells grow
older faster. It' s like stress

103
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.840
puts the accelerator on our biological clock. But not everything is lost. Blue

104
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.600
areas, those places in the world
where people live longer and with better health,

105
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:16.679
have some tricks up their sleeves to
keep stress at bay and do not

106
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:22.559
involve taking permanent vacations on a tropical
beach, although it is also not a

107
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:30.639
bad idea. In Okinawa, for
example, they practice something called Taichi or

108
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:35.639
Kigong. Imagine slow and fluid movements
that look like a ball in the Chamber.

109
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:41.399
Slow may seem funny at first,
but it is incredibly effective in calming

110
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:46.240
the mind and relaxing the body.
On the island of Icaria, in Greece

111
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:52.399
they have an even more surprising technique, the nap. Yes, you read

112
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:58.240
well. Sleeping a little nap after
lunch is not only acceptable, it is

113
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:05.240
almost obligatory. It' s like
they have a built- in reset button

114
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:11.799
in their day now before you start
planning to move to Greece isn' t

115
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.600
a bad idea. Let me share
some techniques that you can apply without packing.

116
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:24.159
One conscious breath. Take a few
minutes each day to focus on your

117
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:31.320
breathing. Inhale deeply through the nose, counting to four, keep the air

118
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.639
for four seconds, and slowly exhale
through the mouth, counting to eight.

119
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:41.720
It' s like giving your nervous
system a massage. Two connect with nature.

120
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:48.320
Spend time outdoors, walk, barefoot
on the lawn embraces a tree if

121
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.759
you dare. Yeah, it sounds
like hippie cliché, but it works.

122
00:11:54.440 --> 00:12:00.840
Nature has an amazing soothing effect on
our brain. Three practices. Gratitude before

123
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:05.360
sleep, think of three things you' re grateful for That day can be

124
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:13.480
as simple as coffee was delicious this
morning. It' s like putting pink

125
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:22.200
glasses on your mind four disconnect,
turn off your electronic devices at least an

126
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:30.240
hour before bedtime. Social media will
be there tomorrow. I promise you remember

127
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.960
to reduce stress. It' s
not about eliminating all the problems in your

128
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:39.080
life. I wish it were that
easy. It' s about changing your

129
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.240
relationship with them. It' s
like learning how to surf instead of fighting

130
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.600
the waves and who knows. Perhaps
over time you become quite an expert by

131
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:56.639
raffling the waves of stress habit four
the rule of eighty percent. This concept

132
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:01.840
I have known in Okinawa as jara
hachibu. It' s so simple you

133
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.480
could start practicing it from your next
meal. But what exactly does it mean?

134
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:13.240
Imagine your stomach is like a gas
tank. The Ocinaguenses, those teachers

135
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:18.840
of longevity, have the habit of
filling their tank only up to eighty percent.

136
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:26.039
That is, they stop eating when
they feel they are satisfied but not

137
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:31.759
completely filled. Now, before you
start calculating percentages on your plate, let

138
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:39.399
me explain why this is so important. Turns out it takes our body about

139
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:45.720
20 minutes to send the satiety signal
to the brain when we eat until we

140
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:50.840
feel full. Actually, we are
exceeding our needs, but what benefits this

141
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:58.440
has. Well, eating less not
only helps maintain a healthy weight, but

142
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:05.039
also reduces stress in our digestive system. It' s like giving your body

143
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:13.039
a break so that it can concentrate
on other important tasks, such as repairing

144
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:20.159
cells and fighting aging. Studies have
shown that moderate heat restriction can increase longevity

145
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:26.399
and reduce the risk of disease.
It is as if by eating less we

146
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:33.399
give our body the opportunity to function
more efficiently. Now, implementing this rule

147
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:41.120
doesn' t have to be complicated. Here are some practical tricks. You

148
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.279
use smaller dishes. It' s
a visual trick, but it works a

149
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:52.320
small full plate will give you the
feeling of eating more two, eating slower,

150
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:58.720
enjoying each bite, chewing well and
pausing between bites. This will give

151
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.639
you time to recognize when you are
satisfied. Three drinks water before meals.

152
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:11.399
A glass of water about 30 minutes
before you eat can help you feel fuller.

153
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:18.240
With less food. Four listen to
your body, learn to recognize the

154
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:24.240
difference between being satisfied and being full. Satisfaction is that point where you'

155
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:31.159
re no longer hungry. But you
could eat more if you wanted five meals

156
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.960
without distractions, turn off the TeV
leave the phone and focus on your food,

157
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.159
you' ll be more aware of
how much you eat and enjoy more

158
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:43.919
remember. It' s not about
being hungry. The idea is to eat

159
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:50.600
enough to nourish you and feel satisfied, but not to the point of feeling

160
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.399
uncomfortable or too full. And here' s a funny fact. In ancient

161
00:15:54.440 --> 00:16:02.080
Rome there was the figure of the
whisperer. His job was to stand behind

162
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:06.720
the diners at the banquets and whisper
to them not to eat too much.

163
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:15.039
Imagine having someone constantly reminding you not
to overdo it. Luckily, you don

164
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.919
' t need a whisperer to practice
the chibuo pitcher. With a little attention

165
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:25.799
and practice you can turn this habit
into a natural part of your daily routine

166
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:30.600
and who knows you might find that
eating less makes you feel lighter, more

167
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:37.080
energetic and in the long term,
healthier. Before we move on to the

168
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:40.960
fifth habit. If you are liking
the episode, don' t forget to

169
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.480
hit the button I like to subscribe
to the podcast and click on the bell

171
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.840
of content. As much as I
comment, I love knowledge and write your

172
00:16:53.840 --> 00:17:03.120
age, let' s keep learning
together and improving our lives. Habito Five,

173
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:08.519
Meditation. Yeah, I know what
you' re thinking. Meditation is

174
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:14.880
not just for monks and hippies,
but let me tell you that this habit

175
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.079
is more powerful than a double coffee
Monday morning. Meditation is like a gym

176
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:26.039
for you. Mind imagine being able
to train your brain to stop spinning like

177
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.759
a hamster on your wheel. It
sounds true, for that is exactly what

178
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:37.400
meditation does. And best of all, you don' t need special equipment

179
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:42.839
or an expensive subscription. Just you
your breath and a few minutes a day,

180
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.839
but don' t panic. You
don' t need to become a

181
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:55.519
Tibetan monk or shave your head just
a few minutes a day to calm that

182
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:59.480
mind of yours that sometimes looks like
a monkey with maracas. You imagine being

183
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:02.440
able to turn off that mental chatter
that doesn' t leave you alone.

184
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:07.839
Well, meditation is like the silence
button for that inner noise. And before

185
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:14.400
you think this is too newage for
you let me tell you a secret.

186
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:21.119
Some of the most successful people in
the world practice meditation. You knew that

187
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:26.359
even Steve Jobs himself meditated yes,
the genius behind Apple, found time in

188
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:33.640
his busy schedule to sit down and
just breathe and look how far he got

189
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.799
with his manzanitas. But Steve Jobs
isn' t the only opra. Winfrey,

190
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:44.880
Hugh Jackman and even sportsmen like Coby
Briant have attributed part of their success

191
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:49.960
to regular meditation practice. Coincidence,
I don' t think so. Now

192
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.680
I know what you' re thinking, but I don' t have time

193
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:57.279
to sit down and do nothing.
Well, and if I told you that

194
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:03.880
with just five minutes a day you
could start seeing results. You heard right,

195
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:10.240
five minutes. That' s less
time than you spend on instagram while

196
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:12.720
you' re in the bathroom.
Don' t play innocent. We all

197
00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:19.799
do. Meditation doesn' t just
help you relax. It also improves your

198
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:26.720
concentration, reduces stress, and,
according to some studies, may even help

199
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.240
you sleep better. It' s
like a multivitamin for your brain, but

200
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:37.039
without the disgusting taste and best of
all, you can start today. You

201
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:42.519
don' t need a fancy,
not a special cushion, not even a

202
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:48.079
quiet place. You can meditate on
the bus, on your desk, or

203
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:52.160
even while waiting for your coffee to
cool a little so you don' t

204
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:55.759
burn your tongue again. So here' s a challenge for you. Tomorrow,

205
00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.440
when you wake up before you grab
your phone and so dive into the

206
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:07.519
chaos of the day, take five
minutes sit down, comfortably close your eyes

207
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:12.000
and just focus on your breathing.
Inhale, exhale. That' s all.

208
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:18.640
If your mind starts to wander and
you will believe me, just focus

209
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:23.559
on your breathing again. Sounds easy. Well, I' m warning you,

210
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:27.680
it can be a little frustrating at
first. Your Mind will try to

211
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:32.880
convince you that you have a thousand
more important things to do, but resist.

212
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:40.160
In time. I promise it'
ll get easier. Habits six.

213
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:44.799
Sleep well. You have ever thought
that the key to living more could be

214
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:52.279
hidden under your sheets welcome to the
wonderful world of restful sleep. We are

215
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.960
not talking about turning you into the
sleeping beauty, but it almost turns out

216
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:02.960
that the centennials of the blue zones
have not been revealed watching series until late

217
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:07.880
in the morning. They understand that
a good rest is as important as a

218
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:15.640
good diet, but why it is
so crucial to sleep well, because imagine

219
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:19.920
that your body is like a factory. During the day everything works, every

220
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:26.599
machine, but at night it is
when maintenance is done. If you don

221
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:32.640
' t give enough time for this
process, it' s like you'

222
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:38.599
re driving a car without ever changing
the oil the result of a mechanical disaster

223
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:44.279
or, in our case, a
biological disaster. The famous psychologist William James

224
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:48.920
once said the art of being wise
is the art of knowing what to overlook

225
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:56.440
and it turns out that spending the
night awake. It' s definitely something

226
00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:02.960
we should overlook. But how can
we improve our sleep without resorting to counting

227
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.440
sheep? All night. Here are
some tricks that even morpheo would approve.

228
00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:15.640
One sets a sleep schedule. Your
body loves routine, lie down and get

229
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:21.720
up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Yeah, I

230
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:26.440
know it sounds boring, but your
body will thank you. Two. Create

231
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:33.400
a nocturnal ritual, it can be
reading a book meditating or even doing gentle

232
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:36.839
stretching. It' s like giving
your brain a sign it' s bedtime,

233
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:42.200
buddy three, turns your bedroom into
a cool, quiet dark cave.

234
00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:48.160
If you can make your room look
more like a bear cave than a nightclub.

235
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:53.799
You' re on the right track. Four. Avoid screens before bedtime.

236
00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.240
The blue light from electronic devices is
like a coffee for your brain,

237
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:07.799
unless you want your brain to party
all night. Turn off those five devices,

238
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:12.799
be careful with the naps. A
short nap can be refreshing, but

239
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:18.759
if you spend it is like stealing
hours at night, keep your naps below

240
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:26.559
30 minutes. Remember to sleep well
is not a luxury, it is a

241
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.759
necessity. So the next time someone
tells you that you' re wasting your

242
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:36.759
time sleeping, you can answer that
you' re investing in your longevity.

243
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:48.240
Who knew being lazy could be so
healthy. Habit seven. Plant- based

244
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:56.880
diet. No. We' re
not talking about turning you into a giant

245
00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:02.640
rabbit, but about learning from our
friends in the blue areas who seem to

246
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:06.759
have discovered the secret to making fun
of time. In these regions of the

247
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:11.480
world, where people live more and
better, the typical dish looks more like

248
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:18.720
a vegetable rainbow than a carnivorous feast
coincidence. I don' t think so.

249
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:23.279
Studies have shown that a plant-
rich diet can reduce the risk of

250
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:30.440
chronic diseases and increase longevity. It' s like every vegetable bite is a

251
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:37.720
little shield against aging, but don' t panic. We' re not

252
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:44.640
suggesting you become a broccoli hermit.
The key is balance. The inhabitants of

253
00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:48.599
the blue zones follow a diet that
is approximately ninety- five percent vegetable,

254
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:55.920
the other five percent. Well,
let' s say it' s to

255
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.079
keep sanity and maybe enjoy an occasional
barbecue. Now, before you start thinking

256
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:06.680
that this sounds more boring than a
documentary marathon about painting drying, let me

257
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:14.559
tell you something interesting. You knew
that the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, besides being

258
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:19.400
a genius of mathematics, was a
fervent advocate of vegetarian diet. Yeah,

259
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:26.000
the same guy who made you suffer
in school with his theorem. He also

260
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.039
believed that eating meat clouded the mind. Maybe there' s the secret to

261
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:34.319
his brilliance, but let' s
go back to the present. Adding more

262
00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:40.759
plants to your diet doesn' t
have to be a herculia task. Here

263
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:45.640
are some ideas so simple that even
your cactus could follow them. One.

264
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:51.960
Start with Monday without meat, one
day a week that your meals are 100

265
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.319
% vegetables. It' s like
a mini vacation for your digestive system.

266
00:25:57.319 --> 00:26:03.519
Two tries to add an extra vegetable
to each meal. Three change your snacks,

267
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:08.880
change your chips for smoke with carrot
sticks, your palate and your waist

268
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:18.200
will thank you. Four experiment with
vegetable milks. There are so many options

269
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:23.079
you could make an advent calendar with
them. Five adopts the philosophy of the

270
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:30.359
colorful dish. The more colors your
dish has the more nutrients. You'

271
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:36.039
ll be consuming. It' s
like painting a painting, but edible remembers

272
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:40.039
it' s not about being perfect, but about making small changes that add

273
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:45.680
up. As the Stoic philosopher Epicte
said, it is not the things that

274
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:49.839
disturb us, but our opinion of
them. So, instead of seeing the

275
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:53.880
vegetables as a punishment, what if
we see them, as a ticket to

276
00:26:53.960 --> 00:27:00.759
a longer and healthier life. So
next time you' re at the supermarket,

277
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:07.240
take a walk around the fruit and
vegetable section. Who knows you could

278
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:17.640
find your next source of superpowers hidden
between spinach and tomatoes. Habito eight wine

279
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:22.599
and friends in the blue zones,
those regions of the world where people seem

280
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.640
to have discovered the source of youth. Wine is not just a drink.

281
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:33.559
It is part of a social ritual
a ritual that, surprisingly, might be

282
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:37.960
adding years to their lives. But
before you run to open that bottle you

283
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:45.680
' ve been saving, let'
s explore why it turns out that moderate

284
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:52.640
consumption of wine, especially red,
can have health benefits. Antioxidants present in

285
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:57.519
wine, such as beratrol, have
been associated with improved cardiovascular health and longer

286
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:07.119
lifespan. However, the key word
here is moderate. We' re talking

287
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:11.960
about one or two drinks a day, not emptying the cellar every night,

288
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:18.200
as Celso the father of toxicology said. The dose makes the poison. In

289
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:23.160
other words, the difference between a
remedy and a poison is in quantity,

290
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:30.000
but wine is only half the equation. The other half and perhaps the most

291
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:37.039
important are social connections. In the
blue zones, wine is not drunk alone

292
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.000
in front of the TV, it
is enjoyed in company, as part of

293
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:48.440
a shared meal or an animated conversation
with friends and family You know that having

294
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:55.400
strong social connections can be as beneficial
to your health as quitting smoking. Studies

295
00:28:55.559 --> 00:29:02.200
have shown that people with strong social
relationships are fifty percent more likely to live

296
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:11.079
longer than those with weak relationships.
It' s like every shared laugh,

297
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:17.960
every story told, every moment of
connection, is a small deposit in your

298
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:25.200
longevity savings account. So how can
we incorporate this habit into our lives in

299
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:32.440
a healthy way? Here are some
ideas one regular organized with friends or family

300
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:37.160
do not have to be elaborated.
The important thing is the company. Two

301
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:44.880
join a dance club or any group
that shares your interests. It' s

302
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:49.359
a great way to meet new people
and keep your mind active. Three,

303
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:53.680
if you decide to drink wine,
do it with food and in good company.

304
00:29:55.480 --> 00:30:00.799
Enjoy the taste and conversation, not
the effect of alcohol. Four,

305
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:04.839
practice the art of tabletop. Stay
a while longer at the table after eating,

306
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:11.559
chatting and enjoying the company. Five, if you don' t drink

307
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:15.240
alcohol, don' t worry.
The important thing is the social connection.

308
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:19.559
Not wine itself, a tea,
a must or a sumo can fulfill the

309
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:26.640
same social function. Remember, it
is not about turning each encounter into a

310
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:33.920
party, but about cultivating meaningful connections
and enjoying the small pleasures of life in

311
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:40.359
good company. So the next time
you meet a glass of wine in your

312
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:45.599
hand surrounded by friends, remember that
you might be participating in one of mankind

313
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:52.799
' s oldest and healthiest rituals.
Who would say that such a pleasurable thing

314
00:30:52.920 --> 00:31:02.440
could also be so good for you
habit nine the practice of generosity. You

315
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:06.960
' ve ever thought that giving could
be the key to receiving more from life.

316
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:11.720
No. We' re not talking
about emptying your wallet in every corner,

317
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.920
we' re talking about something much
deeper and more transformative. The ancient

318
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:22.680
Stoics, those bearded philosophers who seemed
to have an answer for everything already knew.

319
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:30.039
Marco Aurelio, the Emperor philosopher,
wrote what is not good for the

320
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:34.079
hive, is not good for the
bee. In other words, what you

321
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:38.119
give to others you give to yourself, but not only philosophers say it.

322
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:48.039
Modern science agrees. A study by
the University of California found that people who

323
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:56.880
practice generosity regularly have lower levels of
cortisol. Stress hormone. It' s

324
00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:00.799
like every act of kindness is a
little more healthy for your nervous system.

325
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:06.960
Now, before you start thinking you
need to be Bill Gates to be generous,

326
00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:12.200
let me tell you a secret.
Generosity is not measured in dollars,

327
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:16.839
but in intent. It can be
as simple as giving away a smile.

328
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:22.640
Yeah, even with a mask.
You can see in your eyes, help

329
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:28.480
a neighbor with his purchases, or
just listen to a friend who needs it.

330
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:32.200
And if I told you to be
generous, I could make you richer.

331
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:37.079
No. I haven' t lost
my mind. A study from Notre

332
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:43.920
Dame University found that generous people tend
to be more successful in their careers.

333
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:52.279
It' s like the universe has
a system of financial karma. So you

334
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:59.160
' re ready to put this revolutionary
habit into practice. Remember, it'

335
00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:02.240
s not about how much you give, it' s about the intention behind

336
00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:08.000
your actions. And who knows maybe
you' ll find that real wealth isn

337
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:14.079
' t in your bank account,
but in the smiles you bring and the

338
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:21.480
lives you touch. I have ten
readings. Yes, as a child,

339
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:25.160
that seemed like punishment to you.
Now it could be your ticket to immortality.

340
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:31.279
Well, it almost turns out that
library mice have an advantage over the

341
00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:38.079
rest of us. Recent studies have
shown that adults who regularly read live on

342
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:45.680
average two years longer than adults who
do not read two years. Imagine everything

343
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:52.759
you could do with that extra time. You could finally learn to juggle or

344
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:55.640
watch all the seasons of that series
that you' ve been putting off.

345
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:01.960
But reading not only lengthens your life, it also enriches it. As the

346
00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:08.000
Great George Luis Borges said. I
always imagined paradise would be some kind of

347
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:15.840
library and I wasn' t wrong
to read how traveling without moving from the

348
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:19.599
couch is living a thousand lives in
one. Now don' t be scared,

349
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:22.800
you don' t have to become
a scholar overnight. Starting is as

350
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:28.559
easy as opening a book. You
remember that book you used as paperweights.

351
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:34.760
Yeah, that one. It'
s time to shake the dust and give

352
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:37.440
it a chance. And if you
think you don' t have time to

353
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:45.000
read, think twice about it,
Warren Buffett, one of the world'

354
00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:49.679
s most successful investors, devotes eighty
percent of his day to reading if he

355
00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:52.559
can do it while running a financial
empire. You can do it between episodes

356
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:58.519
of your favorite series. Reading isn' t just a hobby, it'

357
00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:01.000
s a workout for your brain,
but it' s like going to the

358
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:06.119
gym. But instead of lifting weights, you' re raising ideas. And

359
00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:09.920
the best thing is that you don' t need sportswear or a expensive subscription.

360
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:15.760
So you know, if you want
to live longer and better add reading

361
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:22.199
to your daily routine it starts with
just fifteen minutes a day. It can

362
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:27.639
be before you sleep during your trip
to work or while you wait for your

363
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:34.039
food to cook slowly. You will
notice how your mind expands your vocabulary improves

364
00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:37.480
and who knows. Maybe you'
ll even become the soul of the holidays,

365
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:44.000
with all the interesting stories you'
ll have to tell. Remember every

366
00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:49.760
page you read is one step further
to a longer and fuller life. As

367
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:57.880
the philosopher Seneca once said, reading
feeds the soul. So what do you

368
00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:02.960
expect next chapter of your life.
He' s literally waiting for you on

369
00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:12.960
the pages of a good habit eleven
book leaving your Komfort area. Imagine your

370
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:19.079
comfort zone as a comfortable and cozy
bubble sounds good, right, but here

371
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:22.719
' s the trick. Inside that
bubble there' s no growth. It

372
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:28.599
' s like trying to make muscles
without lifting weights. Spoiler alert doesn'

373
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:35.079
t work. The stoic philosopher Seneca
once said we do not dare many things

374
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:40.239
because they are difficult. But they' re hard because we don' t

375
00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:44.679
dare make them boom. There you
have it the secret to overcoming fear is

376
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:49.840
to face it. It' s
like when you were a kid you were

377
00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:54.199
afraid of the monster in the closet
until your mom opened it up and it

378
00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:57.519
turned out to be just a bunch
of wrinkled clothes. But don' t

379
00:36:57.519 --> 00:37:00.519
worry. We' re not talking
about throwing you off a plane unless you

380
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:07.480
want to. Of course, we
start with small steps that if today you

381
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:13.480
try that exotic dish that you'
ve always wanted to try or better yet

382
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:19.320
what if you talk to that neighbor
you always come across but never greeted who

383
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:24.280
knows, it could be the beginning
of a great friendship, or at least

384
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:30.000
you' ll have a funny story
to tell. Psychology tells us that every

385
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:35.360
time we do something that scares us
a little bit, our brain releases dopamine.

386
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:39.840
It' s like a mini-
adrenaline, but without having to run

387
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:45.159
for your bear life. And the
best thing is that with every little challenge

388
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:50.760
you overcome, your trust grows.
It' s like leveling up in a

389
00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:55.159
video game, but in real life. A study from the University of Texas

390
00:37:55.559 --> 00:38:01.280
found that people who regularly leave their
comfort zone report higher levels of satisfaction in

391
00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:09.840
life you see science supports what we
are saying. It' s not just

392
00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:14.679
motivational talk, it' s pure, hard biology. So the next time

393
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:19.239
you find yourself hesitant to do something
new, remember the words of the great

394
00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:24.280
philosopher Nike Jas Duet Or as your
grandmother would say, the one who does

395
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:30.840
not risk, does not win and
if everything goes wrong, well, at

396
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:34.079
least you will have a good anecdote
to tell at the next family meeting.

397
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:39.760
Remember, life starts at the end
of your comfort zone, so go out

398
00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:45.000
there and do something that scares you
a little bit every day who knows.

399
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:51.559
You could discover a new talent,
make a new friend or just realize that

400
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:55.679
you are braver than you thought and
that, my friend, is worth more

401
00:38:55.800 --> 00:39:05.880
than all the gold in the world
habit twelve disconnect from technology. You'

402
00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:09.320
ve ever felt that your phone is
like a magnet and you' re a

403
00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:15.000
piece of metal. Yeah, I
know what you' re thinking about how

404
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:20.559
I' m going to survive without
my precious smartphone, but calmly, I

405
00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:25.760
' m not asking you to throw
it out the window, although the idea

406
00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:31.880
is tempting, really look at even
the great thinkers of history understood the importance

407
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:36.960
of disconnecting and that they didn'
t have to deal with Instagram notifications every

408
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:43.719
five minutes. The Roman philosopher Ceneca
said we should give rest to our minds

409
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:47.199
so that they can come back stronger
to think and believe your mind. He

410
00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:53.440
' ll thank you. Now I
confess something to you I can' t

411
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:58.880
completely disconnect these episodes that I do
on my podcast to help you. They

412
00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:02.239
require technology and I' m happy
to do it, but I' m

413
00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:06.840
telling you a secret. Those days
on the beach with friends or families,

414
00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:09.840
without looking at their phones, are
like an oasis in the digital desert.

415
00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:15.480
They make you remember that there is
a world beyond the screen and it'

416
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:22.719
s great. Okay, but what
do modern experts say? A study from

417
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:29.039
the University of California found that just
by being close to your phone, even

418
00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:34.199
if it' s off, it
reduces your cognitive ability. It' s

419
00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:39.880
like your brain is in standby call
mode constantly. You imagine living like this.

420
00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:45.440
It' s like having a very
noisy roommate, but in your head,

421
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:52.599
then how we started disconnecting. Don' t be scared, you don

422
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:55.519
' t have to become a technological
hermit of the night. In the morning

423
00:40:57.360 --> 00:41:01.000
it starts with small steps. What' s up. If during meals you

424
00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:07.119
leave the phone in another room or
try to have a digital curfew an hour

425
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:15.119
before sleeping your sleep will improve and
who knows you could even rediscover the pleasure

426
00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:22.119
of reading a paper book and if
you need extra motivation think about this.

427
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:30.039
The psychologist ada Malter says that the
time we spend on screens is directly related

428
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:36.119
to our unhappiness. You want to
be happier. You know what to do.

429
00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:44.519
Now let' s go with the
last habit of laughing sometime You'

430
00:41:44.519 --> 00:41:49.960
ve wondered why children laugh about three
hundred times a day, while adults barely

431
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:53.159
get to twenty. We seem to
have forgotten the art of laughing. You

432
00:41:53.239 --> 00:42:00.199
don' t think, well,
get ready, because our last habit is

433
00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:04.880
just that to laugh. Yeah,
you heard right. Laugh isn' t

434
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:07.840
just a fun thing. It'
s a powerful tool for your well-

435
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:13.800
being. You knew the epicte philosopher
once said if you want to be happy,

436
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:19.639
be good. I' d add
if you want to be happy,

437
00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:22.840
laugh, but don' t believe
me. Only to me does science support

438
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:28.360
this. Studies have shown that laughter
reduces stress, improves the immune system,

439
00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:35.920
and can even relieve pain. It' s like a gym for your soul,

440
00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:40.599
but without sweat and holes. So
here' s a challenge. Try

441
00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:45.400
to find something funny in your day
to day. Maybe you do that dog

442
00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:50.440
with a weird hairstyle you saw on
the street, or maybe it' s

443
00:42:50.519 --> 00:42:53.960
the face you put on when you
try to open a particularly stubborn pickle jar.

444
00:42:55.360 --> 00:43:01.480
Humor is everywhere. Just look for
it and if everything else fails,

445
00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:07.320
you can always resort to one of
my bad jokes. Why the divers throw

446
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:13.679
themselves back into the water, because
if they pulled forward, they would fall

447
00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:19.119
into the ship. My jokes are
getting worse. I know, well,

448
00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:24.960
that now you might think that all
these habits are like separate ingredients in your

449
00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:30.039
kitchen. But magic happens when you
combine them. It' s like making

450
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:36.519
a secret recipe for longevity. The
restful sleep gives you energy to maintain your

451
00:43:36.639 --> 00:43:43.480
routine, a stable routine gives you
room for play and laughter laughing and playing

452
00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:47.880
helps you find your purpose and having
a purpose motivates you to slow down and

453
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:55.440
enjoy the journey. These habits reinforce
each other as the musicians of an orchestra.

454
00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:01.880
Each has its own role, but
together they create a symphony of well

455
00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:06.920
- being. The end result is
more than the sum of its parts,

456
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:12.800
a longer, happier and fuller life. So the next time you are tempted

457
00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:17.079
to stay up late, skip your
routine or take life too seriously, remember

458
00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:22.719
that these habits are not strict rules, but invitations to live in a way

459
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:30.920
that has worked for generations in the
blue zones. Ready. To incorporate these

460
00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:35.880
secrets into your life. You don' t have to do it all at

461
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:42.719
once. Start with small steps,
maybe today you decide to lie down half

462
00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:49.239
an hour earlier or spend five minutes
laughing with a friend remember the road to

463
00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:53.599
a longer and happier life is not
a race, it is a dance and

464
00:44:53.639 --> 00:44:58.639
now you have all the steps to
dance it your way. If you'

465
00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:01.840
ve come this far, that'
s it is or write the comments long

466
00:45:02.400 --> 00:45:07.119
