Keep your mind and body active. 

Living 100 years means lots of time on your hands, which means one must learn to fill up the hours in the day with meaningful, engaging or at least productive activities. One retirement community in Rhode Island is home to a whopping six centenarians. Several of them have one thing in common — they keep themselves busy. They’re exercising daily, whether it’s going for brisk walks in the fresh air or diligently hitting the indoor gym. Others swear by hobbies like reading — all things which keep their bodies and minds in motion. And they all stay social.
