Have you ever thought about what determines your longevity? You might think it boils down to genetics, but the truth is that our behaviors and attitudes are also major contributing factors to how long we live. However, we shouldn’t only focus on living longer—I believe we should focus on being healthy, vibrant, and active as long as we possibly can.
