Key 4 to a longer life

Take a walk, build muscle. Before eating lunch, go outside for a brisk walk. We lose muscle mass as we age, which leaves us weak and our bones vulnerable. Vigorous physical activity can prevent frailty. And 15 minutes in the sun is typically all you need to make our own vitamin D. In one study, scientists found that those with the highest vitamin D levels had longer telomeres (small bits of DNA on the ends of cells that get shorter each time a cell divides) – giving these people about five extra years worth of cell division. If you can’t get outside, take about 1,000 international units of vitamin D3 daily.
