99 Ways to Live Longer & Extend your Life 10 Years + - Part 2 Natural Health Remedies
Welcome back to 99 ways to live longer. If you missed part 1 the click here or in the description below. Lets continue down the list 35. Don’t dread getting older Turns out, your outlook on aging might play a role in the number of birthdays you celebrate. According to a recent study, adults who developed positive attitudes about getting older lived more than seven years longer than those who had negative attitudes. Think of each candle as an accomplishment! 36. Go for the gold As if they needed it, here's another reason for elite athletes to go for the gold: Olympic medallists live longer. It’s thought that those lucrative endorsement deals and access to top doctors might have something to do with it. No, we can’t all work towards an Olympic medal, but it’s still pretty interesting. 37. Be Japanese If you’ve ever wished you could change your country or origin, prepare to feel jealous of the Japanese. Apparently, people who are born in Japan have the longest average life expectancy, and girls born in Japan in 2012 can be expected to live to 86.41 on average. 38. Lay off the vitamins While many health professionals advocate taking vitamins to help prevent deficiencies in vital nutrients, a review of 815 clinical trials found that taking supplements had a detrimental effect on lifespan. The studies investigated the health benefit of common supplements, and found a relationship between taking some of these supplements and risk of mortality. A separate study also found that older women increased their risk of cardiovascular or cancer death by taking a daily vitamin – especially an iron supplement. But ask your doctor before you ditch your daily dose, as those who take regular vitamins may have pre-existing conditions that affect longevity and have nothing to do, directly at least, with the pills themselves. 39. Take a cue from the Latino community Researchers call it the “Hispanic paradox”: Despite lower average income, health insurance, education and other measures of economic status, people who identify as Hispanic live an average 2.5 years longer than the overall American average, according to government research. Researchers aren’t sure why, but one theory relates to the influence of traditional Latin American values, like family togetherness. Many Latino community environments also discourage high-risk behaviours, such as excessive smoking, high alcohol consumption and heavy use of mind-altering chemicals that may threaten lifespans. 40. Go to church Attending weekly religious services can add on an extra 1.8 to 3.1 years on to your life expectancy, according to a recent review. This longevity benefit could lie in church's stress-relieving benefits, though it's also possible that being in a religious community helps you make meaning out of your life. 41. Drink alcohol (But only in moderation!) Drinking just one or two glasses of alcohol a day could help middle-aged and older adults live longer – but, of course, it's all about the moderation, as heavy drinkers have a 42 percent increased mortality risk. Older people drinking alcohol should remember that consuming more than two drinks a day exceeds recommended alcohol consumption guidelines and is associated with increased falls, a higher risk of alcohol use problems and potential adverse interactions with medications. 42. Up your omega-3 intake Consuming lots of omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fish, as well as some vegetables and seeds, could boost your longevity. Older people with the highest levels of omega-3s in their blood have been found to have longer lifespans by 2.2 years (on average) than those with low omega-3 blood levels. 43. Help someone else Volunteers may live longer than people who don't give of their time, according to one study. However, there's one catch: the volunteering has to be done for the purpose of helping others, versus helping yourself. 44. Take off In case you’re feeling particularly guilty about taking your vacation days, consider this: An analysis of a study showed that the more frequently men took vacations, the longer they lived. 45. Get busy in the bedroom Spending a little extra time between the sheets may add years to your life. A study of more than 1,000 middle-aged men showed that making love 2 or 3 times a week have a lower risk of heart disease. And women who enjoy being intimate live up to eight years longer than women who don't. 46. Get enough sleep It's time to start taking your sleeping habits seriously. People who don't get enough sleep die younger of any cause than people who get sufficient shuteye. In one study, men who got fewer than six hours of a sleep a night were four times more likely to die over a 14-year period.
