Welcome! Come learn about Emotional Intelligence on the EQ Blog.

There are now about 1 centenarian (person over 100) per 10,000 population in the US. Scientists have studied some to find out what they have in common.

One thing they have in common is resilience. They're able to bounce back from losses without loosing their zest for life amd have positive attitudes. Sounds like EQ doesn't it.

Most of the other things are not surprising -- they observe a nutritious diet, don't smoke, aren't obese, and have the genes for it (it runs in families) .

One thing researchers found did surprise me -- they emphasize the need for flossing. Has to do with not getting blocked heart vessels.

15% still live alone. 85% are women, and 15% men, but the men who do make it to 100 do better than the women.
