3 Tips for Living Longer

Get Enough (But Not Too Much) Vitamin D – Often called “the sunshine vitamin because we can receive it by being out in sunlight, vitamin D is linked to longevity. But too much can increase your risk of dying. Consult your physician to make sure you’re getting the right amount.
Cut Back on Pain Pills – Studies show that taking daily doses of painkillers such as ibuprofen and naproxen (marketed under brand names like Advil, Motrin, and Aleve) may rise your risk of heart attack and stroke. Reserve these drugs for when pain is the most severe, and then use the lowest possible dosage.
Get Plenty of Sleep – Make sure you're getting at least six hours of sleep. Anything less can double your risk of heart attack and stroke.
