The goal for most people is to live a long and happy life. There are several habits that happy and healthy people observe as they age, according to behavioral scientist and happiness expert Arthur Brooks, professor at the Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School in Boston.
In a recent appearance on Dr. Rhonda Patrick’s FoundMyFitness podcast, Brooks referenced data from the Harvard Study of Adult Development – an 85-year longitudinal study of adult life – which identified seven typical habits of people who are happier and healthier. HAPPINESS EXPERT SHARES 6-STEP MORNING ROUTINE THAT BOOSTS MOOD AND PRODUCTIVITY While the first four habits are 'obvious,' Brooks said, the other four are often overlooked. No. 1: Follow a healthy diet Research shows that a nutritious, balanced diet supports both physical health and mental well-being over time. No. 3: Exercise frequently For exercise, Brooks noted that doing too much can backfire. Those who are 'exercise maniacs' could run the risk of doing 'mechanical ill' to the body, he warned. CREATIVE HOBBIES KEEP THE BRAIN YOUNG, STUDY FINDS — HERE ARE THE BEST ONES TO PURSUE No. 4: Abstain from smoking and drinking 'They’re very moderate on substances, none of them were addicts,' Brooks said. 'Or if they had trouble with it, they quit.' CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES 'Lifelong smokers have a seven in 10 chance of dying of a smoking-related illness – and that’s an unhappy way to go.' 'And actually, you’re probably not happy and there’s a lot of compensation that’s going on,' he continued. 'That’s how a lot of former alcoholics re-sample: They become addicted.' No. 5: Never stop learning People who are lifelong learners tend to be healthier and happier, according to the expert.

'You’ve got to get good at it,' he said. 'You need skill at dealing with life’s problems. If you don’t get good at it, you’re going to be bad when things actually crop up.' 'All the happy and well people have their way with it, and they’re highly skilled in doing it.' Some healthy ways to cope include therapy, meditation, prayer and journaling, according to Brooks. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ No. 7: Love 'People who have the best lives, who are happy and well when they’re older, have a strong marriage and/or close friendships,' Brooks said. 'That’s it. There’s no substitute for love. Happiness is love – full stop.'
