Making
Your
GOLDEN YEARS LAST
WANT TO KNOW THE SECRET TO LIVING
LONGER? GIVE YOURSELF A REASON TO DO SO.
Research shows having a sense of purpose is one of the
most effective ways to lengthen your lifespan. According
to a 2009 study of more than 1,200 older adults, those
with a high sense of purpose were half as likely to die in a
four-year period than their less purpose-driven peers.
WHAT MAKES YOU TICK?
Fortunately, you don't have to set lofty, world-changing goals to lead a
meaningful life. Here are a few easy ways to boost your sense of purpose
and potentially increase your lifespan:
Adopt a furry friend. Taking care of an animal makes you feel needed
and valued. A dog can also improve your health by promoting
physical activity.
See the world. Traveling inspires you to learn and experience
new things.
Get lost in a book. Whether you're tackling War and Peace or
contemplating a haiku, literature enriches the meaningfulness
of everyday life.
