Long life refers to living for an extended period, often beyond the average lifespan of a person. Factors contributing to long life include genetics, lifestyle choices, and environmental influences. Healthy habits such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding harmful substances can significantly impact longevity. Many cultures celebrate long life, often honoring individuals who reach milestones like their 100th birthday. In some regions, such as Okinawa in Japan, people are known for their exceptional longevity, attributed to their diet rich in vegetables and fish, as well as strong social connections and active lifestyles.
