💧 Drink plenty of water.
💪 Keep your body moving.
😴 Get plenty of rest.
Our Resident Life Director at The Columns of Bastrop, Lora Sanders, is sharing a few simple (but important) tips in honor of Healthy Aging Month!
But we have to mention Elizabeth Sullivan of Fort Worth, Texas. The former high school math teacher lived to be 106 and famously credited part of her longevity to drinking three Dr Peppers a day... a habit she began at age 60. She even joked that the doctors who warned her against it all passed away before she did! 😂🥤
We’ll stick with water, exercise and rest as the practical advice... but Elizabeth’s story certainly makes for a fun conversation!
Now we want to hear from you: What is your best tip for living a long, happy and healthy life? It can be practical, funny or a piece of wisdom passed down by someone you love. Share it in the comments!
