Three council how to live to a hundred years
1. How to live to 50 to live to be 100
So, if you're going to live to a hundred, then 50 - a mark about half way. Life expectancy is greater today than ever, and this implies that we have to take care of your body like never before. If you turned 50, it's time to do screening tests such as colonoscopy. Nobody wants to talk about it, but the 50 - it's time to start doing it. Women under 50 need to do a mammogram. Also, it's time to take care of their bones. When you were younger, it was not necessary, but now looms the threat of osteoporosis, so make sure you get enough vitamin D and calcium to ensure strong bones. Do not forget about exercise with weights. With age, people are more inclined to keep fit, but also need to lift weights to give the burden to joints, muscles and bones. Another important thing - social contacts. Of course, we are not so easy to keep in touch and make new friends as a child, but nevertheless it is possible and necessary. Find a nearby club on your interests, and you can get there friends. Someone grabs and a single friend, but if you need a contact person and in daily communication, it will help you. Help yourself to be healthy physically and emotionally, help yourself to live to a hundred years.
2. Food requires awareness
For a long time there is a rule: eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a peasant. Think about it. "Refuel" calories early, it will bring you many benefits. And above all, because the whole of the day you will eat less. Another important thing - the portion size that we simply eat too much and also too fast. Therefore, reducing the portions you get substantial bonuses. I bet none of us are not able to determine exactly how many calories we get from food if we do not give trouble to think about it. It is thoughtless power. My colleague Brian Wansink conducted numerous studies on nutrition and thoughtless found that those who have at hand there is always something to chew on, whether at work or at home, eat more, and usually do not even realize it. If you too are prone to such mindless eating - do not keep in view all these temptations. Out of sight, out of mind! This will help you live to be a hundred.
3. Avoid these foods and you will extend your life
As we found out, reducing meat consumption has a positive effect. So, if you are not ready for a radical approach - to become a vegetarian, just eat less meat. For example, schedule the days when you get along without him. This would reduce the overall consumption of meat. It is known that the meat contains many "bad" saturated fats and other harmful substances, such as nitrates, chemical compounds affecting the body. If you reduce the consumption of meat, you will also lower your cholesterol and reduce the risk of getting heart problems. And another prize - the knees, which bring you discomfort while running, will hurt less. There is no doubt that among the factors causing the risk of an early death, meat is one of the first places. I know many fans around the meat. However, if you will eat it less often, by the same token reduce their risk of heart diseases, which kill more people, both men and women than any other disease. And it will help you live to be a hundred.
