Longevity Tip of the Day

Plus, some Okinawans made a habit of eating only 80% of the food on their plate. Younger generations have dropped the old ways and aren't living as long.

Phrase: Drag
Meaning: Refers to something or someone that feels boring, tedious, or exhausting.
In a sentence: "This meeting is such a drag; I can't wait for it to be over!"
