7 tips for staying young:

1.) Meditate - Meditation reduces stress levels, keeps the mind positive and free from worries and anxieties — "Age is in the mind" and through a regular practice of meditation one can attain a positive, illumined and youthful mind

2.) Exercise regularly - Moderate exercise practiced on a regular basis promotes longevity, builds and maintains strength and flexibility and most importantly makes you feel alive

3.) Eat a well balanced plant based diet - Studies show that a well balanced vegetarian diet with plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts and grains provides optimum nutrition for a fit and active body

4.) Eliminate - Do away with harmful influences in your life — Smoking, drugs, alcohol and junk food are all detrimental substances which can be safely eliminated from your life to ensure a happier, healthier and more youthful existence

5.) Be creative - Whether through music, painting, dancing, writing… Getting in touch with your own unique creativity positions you in that sacred and childlike spontaneity of the NOW moment

6.) Give joy to others - You never lose what you give, in fact by offering your own joy, happiness and oneness to others you nurture your own treasure-chest of good qualities. Be like a child and give joy to others!

7.) Laugh - Children laugh an average of 300 times a day, while adults laugh just 30 times per day — Laughter is an expression of inner happiness and is a tonic for the soul — When you are laughing you are not brooding or despairing which are exclusively adult pastimes — Spend time with people, and do things that make you laugh
