Learn the secret to living longer at Chiva-Som

Five key takeaways to live a healthier, and more relaxed life

The first is to eat healthily, with a variety of foods to get the essential nutrients while eating lesser calories. This will help to slim waistlines as well as slow down the process of ageing at a cellular level.

Pair this with regular physical activity, to control your body weight and reduce the possibility of gaining excess weight. Regular exercise can also help prevent high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol etc. while improving your mood and helping to manage stress, which is the third aspect of living longer. Too much stress may lead to changes in your appetite or mood and may affect your sleep and concentration. It might be beneficial to try meditation to help reduce stress.

Fourth, if you have a meaningful purpose defined in your life, especially something more significant than just yourself, will help improve your well-being, while strengthening your body. Lastly, remember to surround yourself with friends and family in frequent face-to-face conversations.

Take some time to build good habits at Chiva-Som in Hua Hin, Thailand, which can help you focus on any areas you lack in, whether it’s building up your fitness, instilling good food choices—the vegetables, fruits and other edible plants are all grown in the resort’s organic gardens—or just taking some time to unwind from the stresses of daily life with a Siam Ritual Cocoon treatment. www.chivasom.com ◼
