It seems that Hawaii has one of the highest life expectancy ratings out of the United States. So, why are people who live in Hawaii so fortunate? Hawaii has a high cost of living like many other states such as New York.<\/p>\n

Logic would dictate that a high cost of living would equate to a high-stress lifestyle due to working harder and trying to make more money just to keep up with the cost of living. So, what\u2019s different about Hawaii?<\/p>\n

There could be several factors that contribute to Hawaii\u2019s high life expectancy rate.<\/p>\n

Free Vitamin D \u2013 Courtesy of the Sun \u2013<\/strong> In other states such as New York, there is something known as Seasonal Affective Disorder due to lack of sunshine and lack of Vitamin D; Hawaii does not suffer from this, however. There is always plenty of Vitamin D courtesy of an ever present sun.<\/p>\n

Inhale and Exhale \u2013<\/strong> In Hawaii, when you breathe in and out, you get the benefit of fresh air and plenty of aromatic scents from the exotic flowers there. This could have a direct impact on how you are feeling and the thoughts you are thinking. Hawaii has built-in aromatherapy.<\/p>\n

The Right Foods \u2013<\/strong> Vegetables, the freshest of fruits and plenty of fish make up the bulk of the Hawaiian diet. It\u2019s no wonder that people living there, live longer.<\/p>\n

Water, Water, Everywhere \u2013<\/strong> Everywhere you look, you see water in Hawaii. Going for a swim in the ocean is not a difficult undertaking. Swimming is a natural choice for exercise in Hawaii even if it is just for a lunch-break swim.<\/p>\n

A Zen State of Mind \u2013<\/strong> Anyone who is in the field of personal development or even just a follower of matters of the mind knows that the state of your mind can have a major impact on your day, your week and most importantly your health.<\/p>\n

If you start out your morning in a foul mood, chances are that this will spiral into an even worse day. There is a lot to be said about the attitude of Hawaiians in that there seems to be a happy-go-lucky foundation underneath it all. Research is beginning to show that thinking positive thoughts and being happy are some of the reasons to better health and longevity.<\/p>\n

Strong Ties \u2013<\/strong> A strong sense of community along with holding on to values and traditions makes a contribution to the Hawaiian lifestyle. This fostering of relationships with others makes for a sense of support, and promotes longer life, healthy living, and longevity just to name a few bonuses.<\/p>\n

Fresh air, loads of sunshine, the scent of exotic flowers wafting under your nose and being surrounded by easy-going, happy-go-lucky people sounds like a recipe for longevity after all. Hawaii seems to have all the right ingredients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
