Breakfast was regularly served at 8:30 a.m. sharp, with Queen Elizabeth's breakfast being given top priority. A longer life has been associated with eating a good breakfast,

2. Having a pet

Elizabeth was renowned for her love of dogs and she had a pack of lovely canines. Acc. to research, having a pet can improve your health by lowering your blood pressure and relieving stress.

Horses have been a constant in Queen Elizabeth's life since a very young age. Acc. to a 2022 Alzheimer's study, regular horseback riding is the key to slowing cognitive deterioration caused by ageing.

4. Tea time

A daily cup of tea promotes organ function, protects against chronic diseases, and aids in cell repair in the body.

5. Snacking - In Small Portion

Nutritionists claim that indulging in pleasures in moderation rather than outright banning them is the key to leading a healthy lifestyle.

6. Laughing

In addition to enhancing mood, reducing stress, strengthening social bonds, and, yes, lengthening lifespan, humour is a potent medicine for your brain and body.

7. A loving relationship

Being in a happy relationship is good for your health. Acc. to a body of evidence known as "the marriage advantage," stable relationships are more likely to preserve good general health.

8. Close family and friends
