A Texas judge has slowed down a bankruptcy deal involving Tehum, formerly Corizon, a leading prison health provider. The judge on the case, Christopher Lopez, raised other concerns, saying "the fundamental deal has to be reconsidered." A federal judge has declined to consider expedited approval of the plan's disclosures, saying far too many questions remained unanswered. "We're not going forward today," Judge Christopher Lopez said at a hearing on Tuesday in the Southern District of Texas bankruptcy court in Houston. The settlement deal would resolve hundreds of the malpractice suits for just $5,000 each — even those from families suing on behalf of loved ones who they say died due to Corizon's neglect.

☆ 3 'supercentenarians' on living to 110 or older and their advice for a 'healthy and purposeful life'
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-12 | by ( Renée Onque | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: 1 min

Longevity experts Héctor García and Francesc Miralles studied the longest-living people in the world to write "Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life." While researching, they learned that there are around 300 to 450 people in the world who are aged 110 and older. "They aren't superheroes, but we could see them as such for having spent far more time on this planet than the average life expectancy would predict," wrote García and Miralles. García and Miralles went on to compile quotes from interviews they found with supercentenarians and devoted an entire chapter in their book to the wise advice. Here's what three of the supercentenarians in García and Miralles' book suggest for living a long and happy life.

One of the most popular books about longevity is "Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life," written by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles. Ikigai loosely translates to "the happiness of always being busy," and is centered around a person's true purpose in life. A Japanese proverb states: "Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years." And García and Miralles encourage you to stay active by immersing yourself in your ikigai. Here are the 10 rules that they've found have made living in your purpose more seamless.

Gravitating towards the activities that spark this state of "flow" can lead you to your "ikigai," which is "the happiness of always being busy," say Héctor García and Francesc Miralles, authors of Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life. Many of the world's longest-lived people find their ikigai and prioritize it nearly every day of their lives. "There is no magic recipe for finding happiness, for living according to your ikigai," wrote García and Miralles. "But one key ingredient is the ability to reach this state of flow and, through this state, to have an 'optimal experience.'" Thankfully, there's a framework that you can follow to achieve a state of flow.

Diet, healthy relationships and a positive attitude are all factors that contribute to longevity, but the elixir for a long and happy life isn't complete without physical activity. It turns out that there is some value in learning more about how the longest-living people in the world move their bodies each day, which is exactly what Héctor García and Francesc Miralles did. García and Miralles got a sense of Okinawan centenarians' daily behaviors, including how they moved their bodies. "You don't need to go to the gym for an hour every day or run marathons," wrote García and Miralles. "As Japanese centenarians show us, all you need is to add movement to your day."

Living a longer life has been linked to many behaviors like healthy eating and regular exercise, but can a person's personality also play a role? "Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life," one of the most popular books about longevity, highlights the practices of "blue zones," areas with some of the longest-lived people in the world, including Japan. The book, written by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles, discusses how the things that factor into a long and healthy life aren't limited to what you do physically. Most centenarians, people at or near the age of 100, have similar personality traits that may have helped increase their lifespan, according to a 2012 study cited in the book. These are the two traits that people who live the longest seem to have in common:
