Top Tips To Live To 100 – New Website Aims High

Top Tips To Live To 100 – New Kiwi Website Aims High! 23 September 2009

liveto100 is a health and wellbeing website written especially for New Zealanders – September’s launch signals the first stage of a comprehensive one-stop-shop for anyone keen to improve their physical and mental health. In prevention, can lie the cure.

Okay, so some of us chose our parents badly and will never get to 100, others just plain don’t want to – but many of us are interested in how to eke out our three score years and 10 in the best ways possible.

liveto100.co.nz is the latest website in the family of the award-winning health consumer website everybody.co.nz

Where everbody focuses on medical conditions, liveto100 focuses on wellness and the science of prevention. It’s a handy one-stop-shop for reliable information about: nutrition, physical activity, mental wellbeing, sleep and stress management.

In addition, our Personal WOFs (Warrants of Fitness) section brings together all the tests, shots and checks Kiwis need from before birth to their 100th birthday.

No other website brings all this information into one easily accessible place.
If your doctor’s given you or someone you care about the thumbs down on lifestyle – liveto100 is a great place to see where to get back on track. Like its parent website, it offers reliable consumer health information. A team of Auckland dietitians has approved and added to the nutrition information, and a registered personal trainer has made her contribution as well. Our expert teams will grow as the website grows.

liveto100 also provides the personal touch: Success Stories showcases ordinary New Zealanders who have taken the plunge to improve their lives, eg:
Meg tells how she has kept type 2 diabetes at bay for seven years with diet and exercise.

Amanda shares how she dealt mentally and emotionally with pregnancy after a stillbirth.
Abbey reveals her desire to lose weight for good and how she achieves it.
Noel (72) survives triple bypass and continues to compete in triathlons.

These stories are genuine, brave and inspirational - and other Kiwis can add theirs via the website.
liveto100 is socially networked, easy to understand and gives quick tips for people in a hurry, as well as more detailed information for those with more time and interest. We also have fun things like quizzes, calculators and weekly polls to play with.

If you, or a relative or friend, have made the decision that you want to be happy, healthy, relaxed, calm, energized and positive about your life, you will find so much of value in liveto100.
