My dear mgbeke Many people think that life expectancy is largely determined by genetics. However, genes play a much smaller role than originally believed. It turns out that environmental factors like diet and lifestyle are key players on how long and how healthy your life will be..
Today I bring you 5 habits you need to start practicing in you want to live long and live healthy.. Y
Move Around At least 30mins A day: Exercise my dear mgbeke is very important to maintaining good health… the least 30mins walk every day will not kill you. I know you may have nice cars and plenty servants that can take you to places you want to go our buy things you need however, that life can kill you…
Exercising for 30mins per day may help you achieve benefits, which could include an additional 3 years of life Furthermore, your risk of premature death may decrease by 4% for each additional 30 minutes of daily physical activity.
My dear Mgbeke find time to exercise, you can decide to walk around your office or your house or even climb up and down the stairs.. Not only does it increase your life expectancy, it also help to keep your brain active.
Sleep at least 7 Hours a day: Sleep is very important. A recent study reports that longevity is likely linked to regular sleeping patterns, such as going to bed and waking up around the same time each day.
For instance My dear Mgbeke,
sleeping less than 5–7 hours per night is linked to a 12% greater risk of early death, while sleeping more than 8–9 hours per night could also decrease your lifespan by up to 38%.. On the other hand, excessive sleep could be linked to depression, low physical activity, and undiagnosed health conditions, all of which may negatively affect your lifespan. So try to leave it at the 7 – 8hour mark.
Eat good food: Food is what helps to sustain and regenerate your body cells. Make sure to eat right and healthy. Avoid eating too much or too little. while Malnutrition affects every system in the body and will always result in increased vulnerability to illness, increased complications and in very extreme cases even death Over eating especially unhealthy foods — can take its toll on your digestive system and may also lead to obesity and lack of sleep.
Drink at least 2 liters of water daily: Drinking water helps our body to defend itself against colds and seasonal illnesses and to prevent the accumulation of salts in the kidneys, which could cause the formation of stones. Water maintains proper blood density to avoid cardiovascular complications and it is also useful for bones to keep them fit and to prevent arthritis. Water helps our body to eliminate toxins and waste materials that accumulate during the day.
Avoid chronic stress and anxiety: Anxiety and stress may significantly decrease your lifespan. For instance, women suffering from stress or anxiety are reportedly up to two times more likely to die from heart disease, stroke, or lung cancer. Similarly, the risk of premature death is up to three times higher for anxious or stressed men compared to their more relaxed counterparts.. If you are feeling stress try to get as much humor as possible by hanging up with friends or watching funny videos on youtube..
