Ex- 27 The Secret of Longevity

(Kar) People in Hong Kong generally are enjoying good health. Therefore, nowadays, they can usually live longer.

According to the Vital statistics of the life expectancy at birth (Male and Female) were captured by the Centre for Health Protection in 2009. It showed the life expectancy at birth for both sexes to live to an average age of 82.2 years. Boys born in 2009 could expect to live 79 years and girls 85 years.

On the other hand, some people, the rich ones especially, hope to get the secret of longevity. However, long or short life sometimes results from one’s family genes. Yet we can usually live longer by taking care of ourselves such as having a positive attitude, emotionally calm, or healthy life-style and so on. Also, we should keep a healthy weight and reduce the number of calories, and doing some exercise, or playing ball games as we like.

If you like to near the nature, you can go hiking, to breathe the fresh air and see the mountain scenery in the countryside, with family members or friends. This activity is useful for you to relax.

I personally, believe optimists who can usually live longer since their lives are healthier, active. They are also happier, more passionate than pessimists. Consequently, we should be optimistic and enjoy ourselves, our life, whenever.
