Longevity is shaped by several factors that are out of our control, such as genetics, race and age. However, we can influence several parts of our lives, including diet, exercise and lifestyle choices.
A woman who lived up to 103 years old, Dr. Gladys McGarey, has already shared her secrets for a longer life.
In a conversation recently shared by YouTube Channel Seeds of Success, Centenarian explained that despite her age, she was aimed at remaining mobile.
She said, “I always walk with my walker and keep my steps on my mobile phone. It makes sure that I continue to move.”

Although he has “no place to go”, Gladys walked around his “little house” to reach his step goal.
The centenary, who died in September of last year, recommended “sleeping at least eight hours every night” and resting if it felt the need.
She said: “It took me a while to understand that if you are resting, you are not lazy; you do something. Rest is a good thing to do.”
In addition to their physical health, the 103 -year -old has encouraged people to focus on their mental health by managing their stress level.
Gladys said: “To reduce your stress, advance music or look at a laughter. Do something that makes you laugh and makes your diaphragm vibrate.”
The doctor explained that laughter meant that your adrenal glands “deposit” because your diaphragm vibrates.
This is due to the “adrenal glands seated on the diaphragm”, which relaxes all “fear” that you have.
