Consume Whole Foods, Not Supplements

Strong evidence suggests that people who have high blood levels of certain nutrients—selenium, beta-carotene, vitamins C and E—age much better and have a slower rate of cognitive decline. Unfortunately, there’s no evidence that taking pills with these nutrients provides those anti-aging benefits. “There are more than 200 different carotenoids and 200 different flavonoids in a single tomato,” points out Ferrucci, “and these chemicals can all have complex interactions that foster health beyond the single nutrients we know about like lycopene or vitamin C.” Avoid nutrient-lacking white foods (breads, flour, sugar) and go for all those colorful fruits and vegetables and dark whole-grain breads and cereals with their host of hidden nutrients.

Get at Least Six Hours of Sleep Each Night

Instead of skimping on sleep to add more hours to your day, get more to add years to your life. “Sleep is one of the most important functions that our body uses to regulate and heal cells,” says Ferrucci. “We’ve calculated that the minimum amount of sleep that older people need to get those healing REM phases is about six hours.” Those who reach the century mark make sleep a top priority.

Eat a Fiber-Rich Cereal for Breakfast

Getting a serving of whole-grains, especially in the morning, appears to help older folks maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day, according to a recent study conducted by Ferrucci and his colleagues. “Those who do this have a lower incidence of diabetes, a known accelerator of aging,” he says.

Move Around

“Exercise is the only real fountain of youth that exists,” says Jay Olshansky, a professor of medicine and aging researcher at the University of Illinois at Chicago. “It’s like the oil and lube job for your car. You don’t have to do it, but your car will definitely run better.” Study after study has documented the benefits of exercise to improve your mood, mental acuity, balance, muscle mass, and bones. “And the benefits kick in immediately after your first workout,” Olshansky adds. Don’t worry if you’re not a gym rat. Those who see the biggest payoffs are the ones who go from doing nothing to simply walking around the neighborhood or local mall for about 30 minutes a day. Building muscle with resistance training is also ideal, but yoga classes can give you similar strength-training effects if you’re not into weight lifting.

Here’s what <a href=”http://www.ufc.com/fighter/Chael-Sonnen”>Chael Sonnen</a> has done so far.

<p>Lets see what happens tonight</p>

FLoss Every Day

That may help keep your arteries healthy. A 2008 New York University study showed that daily flossing reduced the amount of gum-disease-causing bacteria in the mouth. This bacteria is thought to enter the bloodstream and trigger inflammation in the arteries, a major risk factor for heart disease. Other research has shown that those who have high amounts of bacteria in their mouth are more likely to have thickening in their arteries, another sign of heart disease. “I really do think people should floss twice a day to get the biggest life expectancy benefits,” says Perls.

30 minutes, No Excuses

While Chael didn’t address anyone in particular in this tweet, UFC fans can take their guesses…
“If your career was a horse, they’d take it behind the barn and shoot it.”

Oh my heavens Chael…
“You are a walking punchline. Go fight what’s left of Sakuraba in an alley behind a sushi place in Tokyo for 10 Yen apiece.”

In a promotion for his newly designed T-shirt, Sonnen tweets about having drinks with Obama and texts from Michael Bisping:
“Get home from drinks with the President and have a half dozen texts from Bisping. http://www.greenlightdaily.com/ is the link, Mike.”

Well, according to Chael they still do exist. In fact, he claims there is one still in the UFC:
“Pipe down Mirko and let us just use you for oil like the rest of the dinosaurs.”

Chael agreed with Bisping when he stated he deserved a title shot. That was however until he looked at his wins over…
“Bisping, you make good points about deserving a title shot.After all you did beat, umm, well ahh…Hum and then there was.. Ah..Wait, what!?”

Sonnen was at it again when he used the analogy of pyramid builders, Lisa Rinna and leprechauns.
“More guys have worked on your face than it took to build the Pyramids. You look like Lisa Rinna w/a Leprechaun beard, you fool.”

In regards to Vitor Belfort remarks, Sonnen fired back in stating:
“Hey Vitor, take my name out of your mouth until you show up for half as many fights as you pullout of.”

It doesn’t take Chael long to respond to someone after they verbally attack him. This time it was Mirko Cro Cop who spoke out. Sonnen responded with:
“Mirko, ol’ buddy! Strong words from someone who’s been carried out more often than Chinese food!”

If your going to call out Chael make sure you have something good to fire back with. Or else he’ll reply with:
“Take your comebacks, write them down on a sheet of paper. Roll it up tight, soak it in water, freeze it overnight, then jam it up you’re ass”

After leaving Andeson Silva’s home country, Sonnen tweeted his appreciation of Brazil when he stated:
“Yushin and I go back to civilization tomorrow. Thanks for everything, Brazil. It was like camping in Compton.

Sonnen took a shot at both Anderson Silva and Forrest Griffin when he stated:
“He hasn’t put up a fight since Forrest Griffin, which is about as notable as getting your hand held by a stripper. NEXT.”

Chael did it again when he compared Machida’s championship belt to that of his nephew’s:
“Lyoto, don’t feel bad that you don’t have the belt. You still have that little cotton one my nephew has.”

It’s hard to tell who Sonnen despises of more, Anderson Silva or Wanderlei Silva…wait, when did Hulk Hogan get into this?
“Wand wins 22 fights in Japan!! In related news, Hulk Hogan pins the Iron Sheik.”

It’s hard to take Chael seriously when he makes a comment like this. Sonnen bashes Bisping when he tweeted:
“It’s for the best. After I got through with Bisping the only person that would ask for his signature is FedEx.”

Don’t Retire

“Evidence shows that in societies where people stop working abruptly, the incidence of obesity and chronic disease skyrockets after retirement,” says Luigi Ferrucci, director of the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. The Chianti region of Italy, which has a high percentage of centenarians, has a different take on leisure time. “After people retire from their jobs, they spend most of the day working on their little farm, cultivating grapes or vegetables,” he says. “They’re never really inactive.” Farming isn’t for you? Volunteer as a docent at your local art museum or join the Experience Corps, a program offered in 19 cities that places senior volunteers in urban public elementary schools for about 15 hours a week.
