Get moving. No matter how old you are, it is important to always keep moving! Those who engage in frequent physical activity have an easier time achieving their weight loss goals, are less stressed, and have healthier hearts. Exercise keeps your joints, muscles, and bones healthy and is proven to lower your blood pressure. You don’t have to be a marathon runner to exercise for a longer life, either. Light moderate movement such as frequent walks or yoga can slow the aging process. Don’t stress. Anxiety, worry, and stress can all contribute to a shorter life. With such busy lifestyles and schedules, it is extremely difficult to not worry here and there about certain things. However, when life throws us curveballs, it is how you deal with them that matters when it comes to your health. When we stress, a hormone known as cortisol is released into our bloodstream. Having high levels of cortisol is linked to lowering the immune system and negatively impacting our heart health. When faced with a stressful situation, it is best to find a healthy coping mechanism such as deep breathing or meditation to help keep your stress levels down. Although your lifespan may seem to be out of your control, making healthy decisions and being conscious of your well-being can help you reach a ripe, old age. Afterall, health is both a state of mind and body!
Avoid smoking. We all know that smoking is not good for us. Smoking has many links to diseases and premature death. Cigarette smoke contains many harmful chemicals that can damage your lungs, mouth, and esophagus. In fact, most
cases of lung cancer result from smoking cigarettes. The best option is to never take up smoking, but (that being said) it is never too late to quit and get on the right track.
Eat a healthy diet. Healthy eating is at the core of longevity. Eating a diet low in fats and high in plants can reduce the risk of many health conditions. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, healthy fats, whole grains, omega-3 fatty acids, lean meats, and grains are all food choices that promote a good lifestyle. In addition to this, maintaining a healthy weight helps to avoid diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers.
Control your alcohol intake. Heavy drinkers are scientifically more prone to heart, liver, and
pancreatic disease, which may compromise your life expectancy. Drinking alcohol in moderation, however, is proven to actually be beneficial in some cases. Although many have wondered, no strong evidence shows that light, controlled drinking is better than not drinking at all, so there is no need to pick up the bottle if you are not a drinker! Most alcoholic beverages hide a lot of unwanted calories anyway!
