The Importance of Purpose in Longevity.
Written by Siddarth Saikia
When people think of living longer, they think about their body.They think about exercise, diet and nutrition. But research shows that state of ones mind is as important, if not more, than the state of ones body.
Dan Buettner and Dr. Tom Perls were interviewed on CBS' Early Show yesterday and they talked about the importance of mental states in increasing one's longevity. Dr. Perls mentioned the importance of the cognitive condition in increasing longevity. Research in the Blue Zones has shown that people with a close-knit support system who have found some higher purpose, be it though spirituality, religion or even volunteering, live longer than the average person.
