"In his new wellness book, "Eat Your Ice Cream: Six Simple Rules For a Long and Healthy Life," Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a prominent oncologist and health policy expert, goes beyond the basics of eating, exercise and sleep."
"He talks with Norah O'Donnell about the importance of being happy, social engagement, and recommended behaviors (like "don't be a schmuck") that can benefit longevity."
Six practical longevity rules emphasize balanced nutrition, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, cultivating happiness, active social engagement, and treating others kindly. Occasional indulgence can support mental well-being and motivation without undermining health when paired with overall healthy habits. Strong social bonds reduce stress, encourage healthy behaviors, and increase resilience, all of which support longer life. Clear, simple behavioral guidance—including being polite and conscientious toward others—complements traditional medical and lifestyle measures to improve physical and emotional well-being across the lifespan.
