Longevity training

[everything]

Other than training IMA, are you doing anything you'd consider to be for longevity - either living longer and/or living healthier into old age? Nutrition, routine screenings, calorie restriction, supplements, green tea, quitting smoking, etc.?

[Felipe Bidó]

Yoga, and improving my eating habits.

And remember that a proper mental state is necessary, too

[qiphlow]

mostly that mental state that felipe referred to. having a relaxed spirit is important.

-having a purpose / having goals
-being enthusiastic and excited about the stuff I'm doing or will be doing in the immediate future
-systematically getting rid of negative thoughts and emotions
-cultivating my social network
-eating well

-daily systema

[mixjourneyman]

Working very hard to get where I want to be, but at the same time not being too serious about life.
Meditation and relaxation work.
Drinking a pile of tea everyday (though thats more because I like tea than anything else)

[Darth Rock&Roll]

It's not quantity, its quality.

having said that:

eat whole foods
do not engage in destructive activities or vices
keep a positive mental attitude through whatever vehicle you require to do so
be moderate in all things
avoid playing in moving traffic

all that, barring genetic dispositions to disease should take you down the road as far as you will be able to go.

[Teazer]

good posture

[Orpheus]

The George Burns method of longevity.

avoid playing in moving traffic

What do you do if you're dream is to become a fabulous traffic dancer?

S- playing devils advocate and getting all his badparenting out of the way while he's not around his kid.

Haha, maybe take up parkour and stuntman work as a substitute.

[meeks]

1, maybe 2 coffees a day
no breakfast, just a pastry
staying up until 2am dealing with factories in china
getting horrible sleep because of a 6 month old baby next to us
dragging my ass out of bed at 850 to get to the office by 930

[zenshiite]

Vegan diet. Try to do a bit of juicing at home. Periodic fasting for religious reasons, but it has health and longevity aspects to it too.

haha yeah how about the Hugh Hefner method?

[gretel]

besides tai chi, i do water aerobics and circuit training (like Curves). take fish oil, calcium, vitamin D, multivitamins, vitamin B12, some weight training to stay ahead of the so-called inevitable muscle loss of aging. lately there was an article on how searching for stuff on the internet keeps one's brain working and i certainly do that.
that said, i'm getting a little tired of it. i'm 73 today and my innate laziness finds the idea of keeping up all this activity for 15 plus more years a bit daunting. i've been slacking off lately, and as i get older it becomes more and more obvious that you have to keep it up, keep moving, or it all goes very fast.
on the other hand, my grandchildren and new great-grandchild are great motivators to keep me on track so i can see how they turn out.
