According to older Australians, the top three secrets to living longer are being happy and content, eating well and exercising. Being financially savvy, working hard and enjoying life are also said to be the key ingredients to living well.
With life expectancy on the rise, Australian Seniors released a 100 Year Lifespan Report that sheds light on the thoughts and opinions of older Australians on what they see as the opportunities and challenges that come with ageing.
Of the 5,000 over 50s surveyed, most view the prospect of living to 100+ as a positive, with a decisive 72.5% saying that being older means being wiser. Being healthy, happy and travelling more were the top three when asked what they wanted to be or do when they ‘grow up’.
