5 SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN METHODS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN IN 2021 Want to Add More Than a Decade to Your Lifespan?
The acronym K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid) was created for a reason. Sometimes, when we have big goals like improving our health and longevity, it’s far too easy to get sidetracked by the latest wonder drug or exercise routine and leave “simple,” well-known solutions by the wayside. Not long ago, I came across an analysis in the American Heart Association Journal Circulation that reminded me of the power of K.I.S.S. This study uncovered five “secrets” to a longer life. It made waves not because of what the secrets were but because they boosted the lifespan of the people studied by a lot . We’re talking more than a decade of increase. On average, women who embraced these five “secrets” added an extra 14 years to their life expectancy, and men who did the same added 12.2 years . Is your curiosity piqued yet? I’ve been putting “secrets” in quotes because the methods the analysis revealed weren’t secrets at all. In fact, they’re pretty much the standard health advice we’ve been hearing our whole lives. The researchers analyzed data from two long-running health studies — the Nurse’s Health Study of 1980–2014 and the Health Professional’s
Follow-up Study of 1986–2014 — and discovered that participants’ life spans increased when they exhibited these five behaviors at age 50:
1. They didn’t smoke (and never had). 2. They had a “healthy” Body Mass Index (18.5-24.9 kg/m2). 3. They exercised for 30 minutes or more every day. 4. They drank alcohol only in moderation. 5. They ate a healthy diet. I’m willing to bet that you already knew those things were good for you. But did you know that they were good enough to add more than a decade to your life? For me, this study is a great reminder of how important the Mind/Body/Business philosophy is. If you take care of your mind and body, you’ll have an extra decade-plus to enjoy the fruits of your business. If you’re not doing one or more of the five things listed above, now is the time to get started. In next month’s newsletter, I’ll help you by sharing how I take K.I.S.S. to the extreme when making my New Year’s resolutions. It will be an information-packed edition — don’t miss it!
