Most people dream of living longer. This can be achieved if you follow a healthy diet and introduce good habits into your life, according to the Huffpost website.
Regularly move
Many studies show that daily physical activity is associated with both longevity and overall body health.
Even walking is considered exercise. Avoiding a sedentary lifestyle is crucial for longevity.
Most people work on computers. But it's important to be physically active to improve your life.
Engage in social activities
Elderly people who regularly spend time with friends or family feel happier.
Research shows that people with strong social connections live longer and have better cognitive and physical health.
Reduce stress
Despite work, money, medical, and family problems, it's important to support your brain and reduce unnecessary stress by all means.
Healthy weight
Another important way to be healthier is to try to achieve a healthy weight, as obesity increases the risk of various health problems that shorten life.
Obesity puts a strain on all body systems and has numerous physiological consequences, including inflammation and hormonal imbalances. It increases the risks of many diseases, including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, and various types of cancer.
In addition to physical effects, obesity is also associated with poor mental health. It is associated with depression, low self-esteem, and stress.
Quit smoking
Smoking affects nearly every organ in the body and is associated with shorter and lower quality of life. There is no safe level of smoking - each cigarette increases the risk of developing various cancers, heart disease, and diabetes.
Even if you have smoked for many years, quitting at any age can bring immediate health benefits and mitigate many harmful effects of smoking.
