1. Live Life to the Full Life is not what has already happened, we are just at a different stage of life, with still more life to challenge us and to enjoy.
2. Be Active Medical Science has determined that the more active you are in playing sports etc, the more likely you are to extend your life. Tennis players lived more than 9 years longer than people who were sedentary, topping the list of sports that add the most value.
3. Broaden the friendships base Social Interactions are like vitamins and minerals for ageing brains, with ridiculously powerful implications. We are offering the opportunity for social connection at a time when our friends base is typically shrinking.
4. Care and be Helpful No matter what our age or our position in life, we need friends who care. When things are not going as you wish or you are lonely, there is no better remedy than to have a friend to talk to. Be that friend.
