F ollowing five health habits by the age of 50 can add more than a decade of healthy life by holding off major diseases, scientists have found. Harvard University discovered that people who ate a good diet, exercised, were a healthy body weight, did not smoke and did not drink too much, lived free of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer for far longer.

A woman who maintained all five habits by the age of 50 could expect to live to 84 years and four months before succumbing to any of the illness, compared to a woman who followed none, who would develop at least one by the age of 73 years and eight months. Men who did not follow any of the healthy behaviours were also likely to develop one of the three conditions by 73 year and one month, but could stave off the deterioration until 81 years and six months by living well. Chan School of Public Health. I n recent decades, modern medicine and scientific breakthroughs have led to a large increase in lifespan, yet it has not always been replicated in healthspan - the amount of healthy life that a person lives before the rigours of old age catch up.

To find out how healthy habits affected healthspan, researchers looked at data from two longitudinal studies involving more than , people dating back up to 34 years. Shihab Nye: Last week, I was in a classroom in Austin, Texas, where a girl who was apparently going through a really rough spell at home wrote a poem that was definitely tragic and comic, both, about — everybody was yelling at her in the poem, from all directions. She was just kind of suffering in her home place and trying to find peace, trying to find a place to do her homework. But she wrote this in such a compelling way that when she read it — and read it with gusto and joy; there was such joyousness in her voice, even though she was describing something that sounded awful — when she finished, the girls in her classroom just broke into wild applause.

And I saw her face. She lit up.

That feeling of being connected to someone else, when you allow yourself to be very particular, is another mystery of writing. Tippett: I was looking at A Maze Me , this book that you did — Poems for Girls — which actually echoes what you just said. Uncanny connections will be made visible to you. You can sit down and write three sentences — how long does that take? Three minutes, five minutes — and be giving yourself a very rare gift of listening to yourself, just finding out, when you go back and look at what you wrote. When and how did that even occur to me?

I sort of like it, this week. And it could help me. And now I want to connect it to something else.

How to Reset Your Life

I can read for myself. And so I paused for a while. And then, this farmer showed up in Oklahoma at a workshop and told us all that he had come just to listen. He just wanted to hear everyone read their work.

Look at this. The wandering audience. He just wants to listen. And my brain clicked. So it was a pleasure, to me, to hear poems in the air first thing in the morning, be saying them to our beloved son. Tippett: Wow. I like that too, because — as much as — my kids are also great big now.

And you feel better — you, the reader, feel better. And there are also so many other places where this could be appropriate. Where is the intercom in your school? And so we carry poems with us every day. We have them in our heads. Well, why not? He liked that, but I think he just needed the encouragement. Tippett: Before we draw to a close and, also, hear some more of your poems, I want to touch a little bit on your father again, just on this matter of refugees, which is so resonant now in the world….

Tippett: … in a new, desperate way. Shihab Nye: Yes. They have to operate in another language. How easy would that be?

If I had to go to China today and start living in China and doing everything in Chinese, it would be very, very hard. It just seems outrageous. Why is that happening so much? Shihab Nye: So wide open, so much we could do, always; so many surprising moves a person, a country could make that might be imaginative, that might encourage positive behavior instead of negative.

Human beings do that every once in a while, too. Shihab Nye: I hope so. Shihab Nye: Yeah, the boring dink and Jane — I was trying to get away from them all the time.

Where is it? Where is it tucked away? And are you your best self?

Is my teacher her best self? And I think one nice thing about writing is that you get to encounter, you get to meet these other selves, which continue on in you — your child self, your older self, your confused self, your self-that-makes-a-lot-of-mistakes — and find some gracious way to have a community in there, inside, that would help you survive.

Writing is a way of having a conversation between those different selves inside you. I think so. Shihab Nye: Well, my father felt like a wanderer, like he was always wandering around. But I think you can feel all kinds of gravity, wherever you are, every day in different ways. And often, through human contact, you find your best gravity. A real conversation with someone, just a simple, simple exchange of words, can give you a sense of gravity. You feel as if you recognize it, you see it; maybe it sees you back. And so feeling that sense of gravity and belonging everywhere is very important to me.

Shihab Nye: Claiming it — yeah, a kind of global passport, I guess it might be. And this young woman in Kuwait, this morning, on the Skype class I did — she was saying that she was Palestinian; had never been to Palestine. Born in Jordan; had never seen Jordan. Was taken to Kuwait as a baby and raised in Kuwait, and now she was a college senior. And I think there is a way to do that. Maybe one day; some time. But so we abide with one another; we find, through images, ways to be together. So my hope for that girl was not that she would feel alienated forever from all her places, but that she could find a way to be so much herself and let those parts of herself continue the dialogue, through writing or through whatever she chooses to do.

But I do think writing would really help, in her case, would help her to feel an identity. The world frustrated him endlessly, but he loved it, and he hoped for it. Everything depended on mutual respect. The sadness of my father was a land mass under water. Shihab Nye: Oh, thank you for asking that. All these flowers open their faces to the sky.
