If you\u2019re taking in too much, you won\u2019t burn it off and your body stores it instead.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t take in enough, your body won\u2019t have the energy it needs to function properly. A diet of a variety of fresh foods like vegetables, fruits, lean meats and whole grains are delicious and provide our bodies with the vitamins and nutrients it needs.\u00a0 Diets that are high in sugar, fat or salt can seriously impact the health of that individual in a negative way.\u00a0 You\u2019ll also want to focus on the amount of water you consume daily.\u00a0 Your body\u2019s systems require hydration in order to function properly.\u00a0 Though just about every liquid contains water, like soda or juice, many of these also contain sugars, salts, or other ingredients that can actually dehydrate you. An active body is a healthy body.\u00a0 Get your body moving and working.\u00a0 Action is imperative to your health and works in conjunction with what you put into your body.\u00a0 Take up an activity like hiking or yoga.\u00a0 Get up so that you aren\u2019t just lying in bed or watching TV. \u00a0 Your activity level has a direct impact on your health and therefore on your longevity.\u00a0 The more active you are, the healthier you are. The healthier you are, the longer you will live.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The third component to health and longevity is social interaction.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Humans are social creatures and need to keep company with others, not just being a lone wolf, staying at home sitting in front of the TV or computer. Really interacting with other people, whether its a quiet activity together or something a little more boisterous, can spark life and invigorate you. Increase your health and longevity by getting out there and connecting with people!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When it comes to aging and longevity, good health is the key.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For good health, what you put into your body, your activity level, and your amount of social interaction are all important factors to consider.\u00a0 A diet rich in good foods and drinking plenty of water is just as critical to your well-being as exercising, or being active regularly, and connecting with others.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Be sure to subscribe to our iTunes podcast to listen on the go!\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/assisted-living-networks-podcast\/id1360517721?mt=2\">[CLICK HERE]<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2C.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2C.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2C-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2C-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2C-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2D.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2D.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2D-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2D-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2D-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2A.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2A.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2A-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2A-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2A-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we age, health and longevity become a prevalent topic.\u00a0 People want to know how to increase their longevity.\u00a0 They want to live longer and live better.\u00a0 How well you age, and your longevity is a projection of your health.\u00a0 There are some genetic factors to consider when talking about your health, but in many [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":274,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.2 -
