Want to live a long, healthy life, maybe even to 100? Start following these 5 simple habits today. They're easy to do and the benefits are huge.

One of the most important secrets to longevity is daily exercise. It doesn't have to be strenuous. Just 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily is enough. You can choose walking, cycling, swimming, or yoga. Exercise strengthens muscles, increases bone density, improves heart health, controls blood pressure, and reduces stress.

Avoiding or significantly reducing red meat can greatly contribute to longevity. Red meat (beef, pork, lamb, etc.) is high in saturated fat and sometimes high in sodium, which can increase the risk of heart disease, certain types of cancer, and diabetes.

Instead of consuming large meals, eating smaller portions five or six times a day helps control hunger and avoid overeating. This improves metabolism and increases energy levels. It helps maintain a healthy weight, regulates blood sugar levels, and keeps the body's energy levels stable.

Adequate sleep is crucial for a healthy life. Most adults need 7-8 hours of quality sleep per day. Lack of sleep can lead to stress, fatigue, weakened immunity, and various diseases. Avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and excessive screen time before bed can promote good sleep.
