       how to live to 100 or more? apart from exercise and good diet, important are socializing (follow me!, I follow back) and using mind/brain: Here’s a **clear summary** of the *Guardian* article about “superagers” — people in their 80s and 90s whose bodies and minds function like those of much younger adults: ([The Guardian][1])### **What the article says about superagers*** The piece profiles older adults like **Lajuana (89)** and **Ralph (91)** who show **exceptional physical health and mental sharpness**, much younger than typical for their age. ([The Guardian][1])* These individuals are part of scientific studies, such as the **SuperAging Research Initiative** at the University of Chicago, which enrolls people over 80 whose memory and cognition are comparable to those of people decades younger. ([The Guardian][1])* **Brain scans** show that many superagers maintain brain structures—especially in areas related to attention and memory—that look more like those of middle-aged adults than typical older adults. ([The Guardian][1])### **What superagers tend to do*** They prioritise **physical activity** (walking, exercise classes, endurance sports). ([The Guardian][1])* They follow **healthy diets** and pay attention to nutrition. ([The Guardian][1])* They **engage their minds** with activities like puzzles, word games, music, and other challenges. ([The Guardian][1])* They maintain **social connections** and stay involved in community and relationships. ([The Guardian][1])* Many stress **purpose, positivity, and curiosity** as keys to staying youthful. ([The Guardian][1])### **What research suggests*** Genetics may play a role, but **lifestyle habits** — exercise, cognitive engagement, and social life — appear to be stronger determinants of why some ageing people stay fit and sharp. ([The Guardian][1])* Experts say it’s never too late to adopt healthier habits that support brain and body resilience. ([The Guardian][1])**Bottom line:** Superagers challenge the stereotype that ageing inevitably means decline. Instead, a mix of active living, mental engagement, strong social ties, and positive habits is linked with thriving well into the later decades of life.
