The lifestyle to live healthy 100 years Welcome to Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show. Today I’m going to talk to you about how to enhance your health, vitality and quality of life to reach 100 years of age. Welcome to the Cloverleaf Chiropractic Show, a podcast advocating wellness, life and healing from within. With 38 years in practice, 50,000 patients and over 1 million chiropractic adjustments, here's your host, Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr. My name is Dr. Daniel Abeckjerr, Doctor of Chiropractic. And today, we're going to talk about what to do to reach 100 years of age. Stay tuned. And I’m doing this show to educate the public on health and wellness, and we're going to talk about health to live a long life. So what is the key to longevity? How do we make it to 100? Things that we can do to change our lives so that we can reach a hundred years of age, but not only live longer, but live with good quality of life. Would you rather live to a hundred and be in a nursing home or would you rather live to 100 and be in a cruise ship and enjoy your life and have fun and do all the things that you want to do? So some of the statistics in the US; in 1980, there was only 30 000 people that lived to a hundred years of age. In 2009, there was a hundred thousand people that lived 100 years of age. And now we're predicting that in 2050, there will be at least a million people that will live to a hundred years of age. So we have a body that's designed to be around for at least 120 years, so we have the ability to live to 100; at least. My father's family, they all live you know, very old, and over 100 years of age. My father's mom was 103 years old when she passed away, and she lived by herself, cooked every day. She would go to the market every day until the last day that she died. So she was 103 years of age, but she was active and she was able to do whatever she wanted to do. So I went to the doctor for an examination for my dad, and the nurse sat down with my dad and asked him, and said well you know. “What was your family's health like you know? How old did your mom live and how old did your dad live and how old did your sister and your brother?” And he would respond well, they just died you know, each person just died of old age. They're just you know, and they lived up to 90, 95, 100, 103. And every person he went by…. And he had a big family. I just sat there and listened to him and I couldn't believe it, but every person died of old age, nobody really died of an illness. And everybody lived a long long life. So my dad passed away about a year ago, and he was 94 years old.
