Connection

• They belong to the "right" tribe, i.e., they surround themselves with healthy, trustworthy people.

• They put family first.

• They belong to a faith-based community.

Eat Wisely

• Eat mainly a plant-based diet.

Have the right outlook

• They take the time to slow down.

• They know their purpose.

Move naturally

• Set up their lives so they are constantly nudged into activity.
