Teaching Health Behaviors That Correlate With Centenarian Longevity and Quality of Life

 

Abstract

Data show that centenarian populations mostly consume a whole-food, plant-based diet, live an active lifestyle, and avoid toxins. Many Americans, however, do the opposite and succumb to numerous health-related diseases at a much earlier age. The lesson presented in this article was designed to help the health educator to use this data in their quest to improve the health of their students and increase the odds of them having a high-quality life.
