    Live well with longevity in mind

    JUly 21, 2023

    Fifty years ago, 100-year-olds were few and far between. But the numbers have been steadily growing over the years. And that trend may continue. Some experts believe that longevity may jump another 30 years in the next decade.1

    Discover the fundamentals to living well while living longer. And the benefits each provides.
     
    Sleep

    When preparing for sleep, imagine slowly landing a plane instead of crashing one. The brain needs quiet time before bed to destress and transition from high activity to down time.2

     

    Mental health

    Breathing is our primary connection to life, and when we're stressed, we tend to breathe fast and shallow. Controlled breathing lowers stress and calms the mind by activating the parasympathetic nervous system.3

     

    Movement

    Middle-aged adults who took 7,000 or more steps daily had a 50% to 70% lower risk of dying from any cause, compared to those who took fewer than 7,000 daily steps.4

     

    Nutrition

    The Mediterranean diet — which emphasizes eating less red meat, sugar, and saturated fat, and more fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains — has been ranked the best overall diet by U.S. News & World Report for five consecutive years.5

     

    Financial health

    Your financial health is often closely tied to your well-being in older age. That's because financial worry can often be a chronic stressor.6

    Annuities are long-term, tax-deferred vehicles designed for retirement. Variable annuities involve investment risk and may lose value. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed. Individuals may be subject to a 10% additional tax for withdrawals before age 59½ unless an exception to the tax is met.

    Before investing, investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the variable annuity and its underlying investment options. The current contract prospectus and underlying fund prospectuses provide this and other important information. Please contact your financial professional or the Company to obtain the prospectuses. Please read the prospectuses carefully before investing or sending money.
