Have you ever wondered what it would take for you to make it to 100?  Someone looked at 100 interviews done with people who lived to be at least 100 years old.  Then they compared them all to come up with a list of the ten most common tips some of them gave for making to 100 and older!

One person said "I watch my weight - no sugar, honey. If life’s not good today, forget about it. Tomorrow, it will be better. Look at it that way. Let it go by. Keep yourself occupied and busy. Do that all the time".

2.  Eat healthy, 25%.  So, the opposite of the first one.

3.  Stay active, 22%.

4.  Stay positive, 18%.
