Our reading
The village’s women, who seem to have the best longevity, are described as baking bread and going to church together. It’s not that they’re avoiding stress, but that they’re sharing it—like a group therapy session with a side of pastries.
Walking everywhere is apparently the secret, but they don’t even think about it. It’s not exercise, it’s just how they get around, which makes it sound less like a lifestyle choice and more like a default setting.
So, if you want to live to 100, maybe just stop driving and start pretending you’re in a village where everyone’s always out for a stroll.
