It is known
that healthy people live longer and their career is more successful. To look
well you must follow some simple rules: don’t smoke and take drugs, don’t drink
alcohol, don’t eat too much chips and sweets, eat more vegetables and fruits,
sleep well, do exercises.
Making just
a few changes in your lifestyle can help you live longer.
A recent
study found that four bad behaviors—smoking, drinking too much alcohol, not
exercising, and not eating enough fruits and veggies—can hustle you into an
early grave, and, in effect, age you by as many as 12 years.
Fortunately, you can do something to correct these and other unhealthy
behaviors
Stay out of the sun
Avoiding too much sun can head off skin cancer, and it
can also keep you looking young by preventing wrinkles, fine lines, and saggy
skin.
And don’t focus only on your
face. Sun damage spots and splotches on your chest and neck will also make you
appear older.
Turn off the TV
Too much time in front of the boob tube can take a serious toll on your
health. In fact, a 2010 study found that people who watched four or more hours
a day were 46% more likely to die from any cause than people who watched less
than two hours a day.
Focus on fitness
Daily exercise may be the closest thing we have to a fountain of youth.
A 2008 study found that regular high-intensity exercise (such as running) can
add up to four years to your life, which isn’t surprising given the positive
effects working out has on your heart, mind, and metabolism.
Even moderate exercise—a quick, 30-minute walk each day, for example—can
lower your risk of heart problems.
