Building healthy habits can extend your life, you just have to keep them going strong.

The question of how to live longer—and how to increase your health span, not just life span—is a centuries-old pursuit.

It turns out this list isn’t just for those in good health who want to spend a few more years playing pickleball and riding centuries, it’s also a powerful approach even for those with chronic conditions.

A recent study published in Age and Ageing looked at nearly 50,000 people throughout Japan during a 20-year period and found that these six habits, even when adopted later in life, were associated with longer life expectancy.

The biggest challenge isn’t just building these healthy habits, it’s making them stick.

Here are some simple tactics to help you build healthy habits that help you live longer and how to make them part of your everyday mix.

Even just two weeks of a higher-fiber diet with vegetables, fruits, and whole grains can change your gut health in a way that helps you absorb nutrients better, according to a study in the journal mSystems.

According to the National Institutes of Health, studies show that even short periods of fitness, and especially aerobic exercise, can reduce the urge to smoke, with the effect lasting up to an hour after your workout.

There’s no guarantee that putting all of these habits in place will make you live longer, but as you stack them up, you have a much better chance at living healthier.
