Well, from a scientific viewpoint, longevity is about keeping a healthy body. This includes sleeping eight hours, consuming two litres of water in a day, having good vegetarian nutrition, eating vitamins, and having some mild exercise. All this are key component of a good healthy body. Well, for me, I will follow this regime everyday to my old age.
The main idea of life is that we live for a reason. When our heart is planted in a servitute and loving attitude, God will have a reason for us to live to one hundred. My belief is that man may live to one hundred, but due to mistakes in life, both from health or moral point of view, give rise to a lifespan that is quite less than one hundred. Life in itself is ample being for lots of good experience when we consider our human average of eighty-years life span. Being a purposeful and value added person in society, is actually one of the fundamental for living long. This may start in a family, for children and grandchildren often depend on the elders for many good purposes of life. Some people may extend their retirement services to people in the community, for a charity or some form of voluntary exercise, and this is the essence of retirement-to slow down the tough work, but to keep continual good service for life. Even in friendly and good social contact with friends, there is charity. I chose to contribute by being a gardener in my old age. I hope everyone, in their compassion cherish for precious life experience, will navigate towards their longevity.
