The Road Less Traveled

Life has a way of taking us in unplanned directions and giving us unexpected experiences. Many of today’s centenarians have led lives of travel, exploration, and unanticipated twists and turns. Their stories often reveal anything but “typical” lives, often taking the road less traveled. Perhaps that is part of what has kept them healthy and active for so long.

At The 100 Year Lifestyle, we believe that your life should be enjoyable, you should be a lifelong learner, and you should never stop trying new things! You, too, can take the road less traveled. It’s never too late to act on your interests and passions, or develop new ones. A healthy brain and body, and the lifestyle to support them, can keep you vibrant until your last breath of life.
