Live a Longer and
Healthier Life
Do you wish you could live to be 100 or
older? Do you wish you could be in perfect health your entire life? Well, you
might just be able to get what you wish for! Recent scientific research has
shown that if people practiced just five simple behaviors, they could not only
prolong their lives but make them healthier as well.
If you are willing to commit to leading a
longer, healthier life, read on. First, eat the right foods in the right
amounts. Three-fourths of your plate should be filled with fruits, vegetables,
and whole grains. If you cannot give up eating meat, choose lean meats. Eat
poultry, fish, beans, and foods that are low in saturated fats, trans fats,
cholesterol, salt, and sugar. People who wish they could more easily control the
amount they eat may find that using a smaller plate will help (tipe 2).
Next, exercise at least 30 minutes a
day at least three days a week. If you exercise five or more days a week or
at least 75 minutes each time, the results will be even better for you (tipe 1). Choose the type of
exercise you enjoy. If you don’t have 30 consecutive minutes, then you can
break it into three 10-minute periods and get some of the same benefits.
Exercise helps increase muscle, strengthen bones, and improve balance. If you
haven’t exercised in a while, you should see your doctor before you begin a
program. Not only will exercise improve your physical health, it also relieves
stress and fosters good mental health. Third, find time to volunteer in your
community.
If you volunteer even just a few hours a month, you will still get the
benefits that helping others gives you. People who volunteer suffer less from
depression and are less likely to have heart disease than those who do not
volunteer. In addition, if you want to live longer and be healthier, be sure to
get sufficient sleep. If you are over the age of 18, you probably need seven
to nine hours of sleep each night (tipe
1). If you cannot get that much sleep, take a short nap of 20–30 minutes
per day.
Finally, it’s important to drink water.
The body is between 55 percent and 75 percent
water, and water helps it metabolize fat and maintain muscle tone. You can get
water through fruits and vegetables, but if you really want to be good to
your body, you could simply drink lots of water!(tipe 2) These five behaviors are the keys to living a longer
and healthier life. Imagine, if you had started these behaviors years ago,
you would be way ahead of the game! (tipe
