Anyone who thinks they don’t even have one must begin to enjoy even the simple things of everyday life, such as marveling at seeing a plant grow. Of course, another good tip is to eat in a healthy and balanced way, especially during breakfast. In fact, many California centenarians eat a bowl of oatmeal cooked in water every morning.
And that’s not all: they also feed on walnuts, soy milk and prune juice, discarding the usual packaged juices which contain a lot of sugars and dyes. Following the precious advice list there is also a cup of coffee a day, but without sugar.
Sometimes it can also be consumed twice a day, for example in the morning and in the afternoon. Some researchers have found that drinking a little unsweetened coffee a day can lengthen life. One last important tip to increase the chances of reaching the group of centenarians is to cultivate good friendships.
