| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. I recently attended a seminar on |
| 0:09.8 | mindfulness or meditation. It was really well done. It was about three hours long. |
| 0:14.8 | And the presenter was this jovial, very happy man who was about 85 years old. |
| 0:20.1 | That's right, 85 years old and still traveling around the world giving seminars on a regular |
| 0:26.1 | basis. |
| 0:27.1 | Well, about halfway through the seminar, one of the other people that was there asked him if he put |
| 0:31.6 | in his 10,000 steps that day. What they meant was they |
| 0:35.2 | knew that this man every day walked 10,000 steps or more and clearly they were referring |
| 0:41.2 | to this as a reason why this man was so healthy and was still working and was 85 years old. |

| 1:14.9 | In the Journal of Happiness 2021, three researchers at the University of Kent and the University |
| 1:21.6 | of Reading found that eating fruits and |
| 1:23.9 | vegetables and exercise can increase our levels of happiness. In other words when we |
| 1:29.6 | eat more fruits and vegetables and exercise more regularly we're happier. |
| 1:34.4 | Of course, in order to exercise and eat these fruits and vegetables, |
| 1:37.4 | we have to be good at delayed gratification and self-control, |
| 1:41.8 | because it plays a major role in lifestyle choices. |
| 1:45.4 | I mean given all the choices that we have in life this makes sense after all |
| 1:50.8 | it would be easy to go to the store and buy something sweet or something |
| 1:55.0 | delicious that may immediately gratify our senses. But in the long run not be very good |
