Seven Ways to Add Years to Your Life—And Life to Your Years



Adding years to your life is one thing; adding life to your years is another. Here are seven ways you can not only add years to your life but, more importantly, add life—abundant life—to your years:


1. Circadian Biology (light & darkness): Sunlight is the ultimate life source, powering everything from mood to cellular function. At a mitochondrial level, natural light boosts the “power plants” of your cells, enhancing energy production, hormone release, and vitamin D synthesis, all essential for vitality. Quantum-level interactions with sunlight even help your cells communicate and repair efficiently. By syncing up with natural light cycles, you’re tapping into nature’s rhythm, fueling healing, and supporting your body to operate at its peak. Exposing yourself to natural light in the morning kickstarts your metabolism, improves insulin sensitivity, and can even aid in weight loss by aligning your internal clock with nature's rhythms. And when night falls, embracing darkness signals your body to rest and repair. So if you’re trying to lose those extra pounds, you might just start with a sunrise and a sunset… no sit-ups required!


2. Movement of the Body: Our bodies were designed to move, not just to commute from couch to fridge. When we get moving—whether it’s through walking, dancing, or an impromptu living-room workout—we not only strengthen our muscles and improve heart health but also release those magical endorphins, a.k.a. the “feel-good” hormones. It’s like an instant upgrade to your mood and energy levels, with zero side effects (well, maybe a few sore muscles).


3. Meditation & Embracing Stillness: In a world obsessed with productivity, sitting quietly might seem like a radical act. But meditation and moments of stillness offer a kind of magic. By quieting the mind, you can hear the wisdom that often gets drowned out in daily chatter. It’s like finding the “pause” button on life, where inner peace and clarity replace stress. Meditation teaches us that you don’t have to go anywhere to arrive—you’re already here.


4. Limit Blue Light & Non-Native EMF: Exposure to blue light and electromagnetic fields disrupts your body’s natural rhythms, tricking your brain into thinking it’s daytime when it’s time to wind down. Cutting back on screen time or using blue-light filters helps your body recognize when to rest, improving sleep and overall well-being. It’s a simple way to give your mind a break and let your body recover naturally—no tech involved.


5. Choose Your Friends Wisely & Steward Healthy Relationships: The people you surround yourself with can have a profound impact on your life. Strong, supportive relationships add meaning, connection, and resilience, creating a foundation for joy and growth. True friends bring perspective, humor, and encouragement when life gets tough, helping you stay grounded and uplifted. Nurture these bonds as they bring richness and laughter to your days—plus, they’re the ones who make the journey of life all the more worthwhile.


6. Eat Real Food and Drink High-Quality Water: If you want abundant life, start with what you’re feeding your body. Processed foods might be convenient, but they can leave you feeling like a soggy french fry. Instead, go for vibrant, nutrient-dense whole foods and pure, clean water. Eating real food and drinking high-quality water helps you feel energized, alert, and ready for whatever life throws at you. After all, you wouldn’t fuel a sports car with low-grade gasoline, would you?


7. Prioritize Having Fun and Humor: Humor has magical properties; it lowers stress, boosts immunity, and acts as a reminder that life is more absurd than it is logical. Fun is not just weekend vacations; it’s a lifestyle choice. Dance terribly, laugh loudly, and find joy in the quirks of everyday life. And here’s a secret: the universe itself seems to reward those who don’t take it too seriously. So go ahead—laugh at your own bad jokes, find reasons to smile, and if you ever take yourself too seriously, just remember: you’re a human who occasionally trips over flat surfaces.
