Living on a mountain can simply make you live longer.

In fact, 7 out of 10 long-lived communities in the US are living in high-country Colorado countries, meanwhile, in the small Sardinian town of Ovodda, many men and women reach 100 years old.

It can be the fresh and clean air of the mountain or the uphill walks which give you a good workout every time you go outside.

Whatever the reason, moving to the mountains means adding some extra years to your life, as well as serenity and wonderful landscapes.

4. Get Religion

Well, whatever god(s) you believe in, they seem to keep you on Earth a few years longer than our atheist fellows.
According to several studies, there is a strong and positive connection between good health and religious belief.

The National Institute for Healthcare Research held a meta-analysis of 42 independent studies conducted by Michael E. McCullough, and it was found that the rates of mortality were higher among the non-religious group.

Whether it’s due to divine intervention or to the better social support within religious communities, having a religion can make you live longer.

Recently, the scientists could modify mice embryo genes to give them a longer life. However, treating human beings in such a way is a little bit far from being judged as being ethical.
