small changes in lifestyle can help prolong life. The following eight small changes in daily life can play a role in longevity, which is a hint given by a well-known American magazine recently.
1. Put down the extra food in your hand.
if you are full, please put the food back on the table. Research from the University of St. Louis in the United States has confirmed that eating less ages slowly. Limiting the total amount of food calories can reduce the level of thyroid hormone and alleviate the aging process.
2. Get up and turn off the TV.
the study found that people who watched TV for at least four hours a day had a 46% higher risk of death than those who watched TV for less than two hours a day. For every additional hour of TV viewing, the overall mortality rate increased by 11% and the risk of death from heart disease increased by 18%.
3. Put on the sun hat.
sunscreen helps reduce the risk of skin cancer and wrinkles. It’s best to wear a wide brimmed sun hat and apply sunscreen with SPF 30 when going out in summer. In addition to the face, chest, neck and other “aging disaster areas” should also be applied.
4. Call the elderly at home. The loneliness of the elderly can be reduced by 22200017711 ~ 3333 calls a week. Loneliness can lead to inflammation, which is as harmful as hyperlipidemia and smoking. Loneliness also greatly increases the risk of depression in the elderly.
5. Raise your glass.
drinking more than two drinks a day will have an adverse impact on health, but drinking every day is beneficial to longevityć A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that drinking a glass of red wine a day is good for women’s heart health.
6. Cut a plate of fruit.
eating at least three servings of fruits and vegetables every day is good for health. Therefore, the elderly should try to ensure that there is a vegetable salad or cut fruit on the table. Fruits and vegetables are rich in cellulose and vitamins, which can reduce the risk of heart disease by 76%. In addition, antioxidants in fruits and vegetables can also prevent early wrinkles.
7. Walk fast every day.
regular running or fast walking for 30 minutes every day is beneficial to the heart and metabolism and delay the aging process.
8. Throw away cigarettes.
a study published in the American Journal of public health found that quitting smoking at the age of 35 can prolong life by 6 ~ 8 years. It’s never too late to quit smoking.
