阅读：A Healthy Life A 本文词数:274参考时间:1′57″ What’s the secret of those who survive into the 100s? It might be that they are keen on keeping up with the latest trends, including iPods, current events and even MTV, a new survey finds. Evercare, a health insurance plan that specializes in older people, carried out a survey which polled 100 people who are over 100 about their secrets to successful aging. One of the old people, George Reed, aged 103, owes his health and long life to luck. But he has also spent much of his life being active, and remains so today. Once an avid* baseball player and cyclist, Reed still practices Tai Chi daily and keeps up with news and current events. Among the main findings of the survey were the tendencies of people who are over 100 years old to tune into trends and current events, lead healthy lifestyles and hold faith in high regard. The survey found that nearly a third of the respondents have watched a reality TV show, and 27 percent have watched MTV or music videos. So, what do experts call the keys to successful aging? While good genes can help you live a longer, healthier life, balancing your genes with a healthy lifestyle is also important, doctors say. Maintaining good health behaviors throughout one’s life may lead to longer survival and better health, said Dr. Dellara Terry.???? While you cannot have complete control over how long you will live, having good health habits, following your health care providers’ advice and staying socially and mentally engaged will go a long way in improving the quality and —perhaps —the quantity of your life, the experts said.
