Researching their family's lives and their present day environment has revealed some interesting factors. All three regions were sunny and peaceful areas near the ocean and all the residents maintained vegetarian dietary styles. The vegetarian style diets consisted of lots of fiber because of the fruits and vegetables that they consumed every day.
The residents were very active in their daily lifestyles and were free from brittle bones. Studies at New Hampshire Home Care have proven that either remaining active or adding physical activity to our daily lives added years to our life expectancies. Stress free exercise also gives us a heart healthy outlook where we can live free of cardiovascular diseases. The above residents also did not smoke and their intake of alcohol was very low or moderate.
Living a long life with close relationships is a beneficial factor in helping New Hampshire Home Health Care clients live longer and happier.

A very natural function which prolongs life is what we do every day, but sometimes not without tossing and turning. Getting a full 7 hours of sleep is what the body needs to heal and rejuvenate. Our cells are regenerating as we sleep which helps to boost our immune system. Continued sleeplessness can cause memory loss, depression, headaches and many other serious disorders. With the right sleeping techniques, the human body can actually slow down the aging process that takes place when we rest.
