9 ways to live longer

Making just a few changes in your lifestyle can help you live longer, you can do something to correct bad behaviors (smoking, drinking too much alcohol, not exercising, and not eating enough fruits and veggies) which can push you into an early grave, and, in effect, age you by as many as twelve years. Feel free to implement the following habits to keep your body looking and feeling young.
Don't overeat: To live to 100, leaving a little bit of food on your plate may be a good idea. Studies on longevity around the world, shows that the oldest Japanese people stop eating when they are feeling only about 80% full. Eating less helps you age slower
Get busy: Having satisfying sex two to three times per week can add as many as three years to your life. Regular sex may also lower your blood pressure, improve your sleep, boost your immunity, and protect your heart.
Turn off the TV:  Spending too much time in front of the television/computer screen can take a serious toll on your health. Even cutting back a little can help; each additional hour you watch increases your overall risk of dying by 11% and dying from heart disease by 18%.
Stay out of the sun: Avoiding too much sun can head off skin cancer, and it can also keep you looking young by preventing wrinkles, fine lines, and saggy skin.
Reach out: Research shows that you’re at greater risk of heart disease without a strong network of friends and family. Loneliness can cause inflammation, and in otherwise healthy people it can be just as dangerous as having high cholesterol or even smoking.
Loneliness seems to pose the greatest risk for elderly people, who are also prone to depression.
Drink in moderation: Women who have two or more drinks a day and men who have three or more may run into detrimental effects ranging from weight gain to relationship problems. But in smaller quantities, alcohol can actually be good for you.
Eat fruits and vegetables: Getting fewer than three portions of fruits & vegetables a day can eat away at your health. Nutritional powerhouses filled with fiber and vitamins, fruits and veggies can lower your risk of heart disease by 76%.
Focus on fitness: Daily exercise may be the closest thing we have to a fountain of youth. Regular high-intensity exercise (such as running) can add up to four years to your life, which isn’t surprising given the positive effects working out has on your heart, mind, and metabolism.
Note: moderate exercise—a quick, 30-minute walk each day
Don’t smoke: Quitting smoking is perhaps the single most important thing you can do for your health—and your life span. It’s never too late to kick the habit. Quitting can slow disease and increase survival odds even in smokers who have already caused significant damage to their lungs
Don't enough water
