If you rolled out of bed today, made coffee, and were ready to tackle the world, you may have missed a few steps in your quest to live a long and happy life. You see, according to longevity experts, there are seven things you need to do every morning in order to live to be 100 years old. How many of these steps are you doing or not doing?

1.  Drink a glass of water.  Hydrating right away sets you up for the day.  It helps with digestion, supports your metabolism, and eliminates toxins.

2.  Eat a nutrient-dense breakfast. Yogurt, oatmeal, berries, and nuts are great choices. You need fiber and protein, but not too much meat.

3.  Stretch your body.  You don’t necessarily need a grueling workout.  Even just stretching or taking a brisk walk can do wonders.

4.  Activate your nervous system.  Google “vagal tapping” or “somatic body tapping.”  You tap your body with your fingers for a few minutes to wake your nervous system up.

5.  Practice mindfulness.  Take a few minutes to meditate or do some deep breathing.  It can help lower your baseline stress level to start the day.

6.  Set intentions. Take a minute to think about what you want to accomplish. This can help you focus and be more productive.

7.  Enjoy your morning coffee.  More and more research shows it’s good for us.  A study in November found it helps promote good bacteria in your gut.  If you don’t want the caffeine, even decaf works.
