There have been a lot of power
outages in my little town as of late due to new upgrades in
the hydro system.
Which means I have been steady
running around the house fixing the time on all the clocks!
Along with having my 31st birthday
last month and all the blinking clocks I got to thinking how
fast time continues to tick away.

Despite all the medical advances available
today, the most effective and the most practical advice for us to
live a long and healthy life can be found in the father's who came
before us.
Here are The Top 20 time-tested healthy
habits to living longer that have survived for centuries...
1. Eat mostly plants.
(Have meat as a side dish instead of the main dish)
2. Put family first.
(Time with family is priceless)
3. Take a walk.
(Our legs are meant to move us, so move)
