We can\u2019t control our genes; as we age, our bodies start to break down. But there are things we can do to increase our chances of a long life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">This article will explore some things you can do to increase your longevity. But first, let\u2019s show you Jeanne Calment\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Jeanne Calment\u2019s Story:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"976\" height=\"549\" src=\"https:\/\/areyouhungry.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/108858782_mediaitem108858781.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/areyouhungry.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/108858782_mediaitem108858781.jpg 976w, https:\/\/areyouhungry.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/108858782_mediaitem108858781-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/areyouhungry.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/108858782_mediaitem108858781-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/areyouhungry.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/108858782_mediaitem108858781-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/areyouhungry.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/108858782_mediaitem108858781-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 976px) 100vw, 976px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Jeanne Calment was born in 1875 and lived to be 122 years old, the oldest person ever documented. She attributed her long life to drinking port wine and eating lots of chocolate. She also consumed cigarettes daily. Jeanne lived through some of the most meaningful events of the 20th century, including world wars and the Great Depression. She also met Vincent Van Gogh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">So what can we learn from Jeanne Calment? First, enjoying life and not taking things too seriously is essential. Second, a healthy diet is important, but did she follow that? There\u2019s no need to deprive yourself of the foods you love. And finally, don\u2019t stress the little things \u2013 they\u2019re not worth your time or energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Diet:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/areyouhungry.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/How-To-Increase-Longevity-2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/areyouhungry.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/How-To-Increase-Longevity-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/areyouhungry.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/How-To-Increase-Longevity-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/areyouhungry.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/How-To-Increase-Longevity-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/areyouhungry.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/How-To-Increase-Longevity-2-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/areyouhungry.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/How-To-Increase-Longevity-2-750x422.png 750w, https:\/\/areyouhungry.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/How-To-Increase-Longevity-2-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/areyouhungry.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/How-To-Increase-Longevity-2.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">A recent study published in the journal Cell found that specific dietary changes could lead to a longer life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">The study, conducted by Harvard and MIT researchers, looked at the diets of over 100,000 people and found that those who ate a primarily plant-based diet with healthy fats, proteins, and carbohydrates lived an average of four years longer than those who didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">So what does this mean for you? To live a long and healthy life, focus on eating whole foods that are minimally processed.
