Here are x13 smart habits to get into
if you want to increase your life span...
---
1. Eat Plenty of Plant Foods. Eating a wide variety of fruits,
vegetables, nuts, seeds, pulses and legumes has been linked with
a decreased risk of disease and a longer life. Various studies
are showing that the Mediterranean Diet for example is linked
with a lower risk of premature death. Other links include a decreased
risk of brain deterioration, cancer, depression, heart disease
and metabolic syndrome. Eating plant foods has been thought to
attribute to these effects as they can provide a wide range of
nutrients including carotenoids, folate, polyphenols and Vitamin
C. Several studies have also linked vegan and vegetarian diets
with a 12-15% lowered risk of premature death.
2. Avoid Smoking. Smokers can lose up to 10 years of their lives
and may be three times more likely to die prematurely than those
who don't smoke cigarettes. Smoking is also strongly linked with
disease and early death. Men and women who smoke can lose up to
10 years of their lives and are three times more likely to die
prematurely as opposed to those who have never picked up a cigarette.
The good news is that it's never too late to give up smoking and
one study shows that even people who quit smoking by age 35 may
be able to prolong their life by 8.5 years. While quitting smoking
in your sixties can add up to 3.7 years to your life.
3. Keep Alcohol to a Minimum. Drinking heavy amounts of alcohol
is linked with a higher risk of developing liver, heart and pancreatic
disease along with an increased risk of early death. But moderate
consumption fairs better and this is associated with a reduced
likelihood of developing several diseases, along with a 17-18%
reduced risk of premature death. Drinking red wine occasionally
therefore may be beneficial as it contains a high level of polyphenol
antioxidants and wine has been shown to have protective benefits
against diabetes, heart disease, metabolic syndrome and neurological
disorders.
4. Increase Exercise and Activity Levels. Staying physically active
can keep you healthy and increase your longevity. There are many
benefits to regular exercise and it's been found that as little
as 15 minutes per day can add an additional 3 years of life. One
recent review found that there was a 22% lower risk of early death
in the individuals who partook in exercise but did less than the
150 minutes per week that is recommended.
5. Take Curcumin. The bio-active compound known as curcumin that
is found in the Indian spice turmeric contains numerous antioxidant
and anti-inflammatory properties that can help to maintain brain,
heart and lung function and this can also protect against age-related
diseases and cancer. Curcumin has also been linked to an increased
life span in test subjects. For all of these reasons Curcumin
has many potential health benefits when taken daily.
6. Avoid Eating Carbs and High Sugar Foods. Certain test subject
studies have shown that it's possible to have a reduction in carbs
and high sugar intake and this may increase maximum lifespan.
Calorie restriction has also been linked to reduced excess body
weight and belly fat and that both of these have been linked to
shorter lives. If you want to get healthy, eat smaller amounts
and try fasting for one day a week or month. Long-term calorie
restriction can be unsustainable and this can include negative
side effects like hunger, lowered body temperature and a diminished
sex drive.
7. Eat Nuts. Rich in antioxidants, fiber, protein and beneficial
plant compounds, nuts are a good source of various vitamins and
minerals, like copper, folate, magnesium, potassium, niacin, along
with Vitamins B6 and E. Meanwhile a recent study has also indicated
that eating at least 3 servings of nuts a week is associated with
a 39% lowered risk of premature death.
8. Drink Tea or Coffee. Tea and coffee are linked with a decreased
risk of chronic disease. Green tea contains polyphenols and catechins
that may decrease the risk of developing cancer, diabetes and
heart disease. Coffee consumption is also linked with a lowered
risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes, brain diseases, cancers, heart
disease and even Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Both tea and coffee
drinkers can benefit from a 20-30% lowered risk of early death
when compared to non-drinkers. Too much caffeine however can lead
to anxiety and insomnia, so limiting your intake to 400mg per
day is highly recommended - around 2-4 cups of coffee or less.
9. Avoid Chronic Stress and Choose Relaxation. Anxiety and stress
can play a role in significantly decreasing your lifespan. Women
with anxiety and stress are believed to be up to 2 times more
likely to die from heart disease, lung cancer or stroke for example.
The risk of premature death is also three times higher for stressed
men too.
10. Maintain Healthy Social Networks. Researchers have found that
maintaining healthy social networks can help you to live up to
50% longer. Studies show that there's a link between healthy social
networks and having positive changes within the brain, heart and
that it may also benefit immune function which can also decrease
the risk of chronic diseases. It's believed that a strong social
network can help you to react to stress less negatively, which
could perhaps further explain the positive effect on your lifespan.
11. Become More Conscientious. Based on data of 1,500 boys and
girls from young to old age, kids that were considered disciplined,
organised and persistent grew up to live 11% longer than their
non-conscientious counterparts. Conscientious people have lowered
blood pressure with fewer psychiatric conditions along with a
lowered risk of diabetes, heart and joint problems.
12. Be Happy. Feeling happiness can increase your longevity and
a study over a 5 year period found that there was a 3.7% reduction
in early death. A review of 35 studies has also shown that happy
people can live up to 18% longer than people who are less happy.
13. Get a Good Night's Sleep. We need sleep as it plays a vital
role in regulating cell function and enabling the body to heal.
Recent reports have suggested a link between regular sleeping
patterns (i.e. going to bed at the same time each day) and longevity.
The duration of sleep also seems to play a major factor and surprisingly,
sleeping too much is associated with a 38% decrease in lifespan.
Not getting enough sleep can also promote inflammation within
the body and increase the development of certain health conditions
like diabetes, heart disease and obesity. All of these are associated
with a shortened lifespan.
