2 with nuts and seeds!

To really impact your longevity, you have to spend hours and hours exercising or cut way, way back on calories, right? Wrong! A Brigham Young University study of more than 5,500 adults reveals simply eating nuts and seeds daily adds 1.5 years to your life, no other changes needed! D It works! Nuts and seeds are concentrat­ed sources of the phytochemi­cals, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals that help shield cells from damage and lengthen telomeres, the protective endcaps on DNA that indicate how fast you’re aging!

Folks who have a rich spiritual life have longer telomeres, Social Science & Medicine reports. One theory why: It reduces anxiety and depression, tamps down inflammati­on and revs your immune system’s response to health threats.
