As the world around us continues to evolve at an unprecedented rate, people have also become more educated and mindful of their lifestyles and environments. Since the 1800s, the human life expectancy has been increasing steadily at a rate of about 3 months per year. As a result of that, it is more common than ever to now see people all over the world living well into their 90s and going past the century mark.

That being said, living longer may not always mean living better. If anything, it would be more burdensome to have to live longer if your quality of life continues to decline. When I read up about the oldest people to ever live in order to see how they dealt with such a decline, I was surprised to see that their quality of life remained very much intact until just shortly before they died.

The secret to their extra long lives? None at all. Just a few simple habits that they all have in common and that I’d love to share with you now.

You don’t have to be a health fanatic
