For many of us, the miracles of fighting old age are simply inaccessible: "beauty injections", ozone therapy, hormonal injections are too expensive…
Nothing of the kind, according to leading Western and domestic researchers in the field of anti-age medicine. 60% of success in maintaining youth and health depends on your lifestyle. Yes, yes, not from genes and not from financial capabilities, but from how you sleep, what you eat, what you are fond of. Surely each of you can remember the village grandfather, who went through the war, lived so long that he himself forgot, and at the same time he independently weeded the garden until his last days. Without any stem cell injections, by the way.
So, let's find out what simple and accessible rules will help us to stay cheerful. As many as 20 rules for living 100 years were established by doctors from the University Hospital of Geneva (Switzerland). The best part about them is that they are simple and require almost no financial outlay. Even if you adopt only a part of these rules, it will still prolong the time of youth.
1. Have regular sex at any age
This pleasant action lowers the level of "bad" cholesterol in the blood and dilutes it, thereby preventing cardiovascular disease. Plus, the "hormones of happiness" are produced unlike more actively than in other situations. The most useful sex – in the morning: because you are hungry, there is a chance to use the calories saved after a heavy dinner.
2. Quit smoking
Sounds trite, but it is smoking that can turn your face from a pouring apple into a baked one. Alas, doctors have proven that smoking is responsible for the formation of 85% of facial wrinkles and shortens healthy life by 15 years.
3. Men, get married!
Women, be of good cheer… i.e. agree. Studies show that married men live 3 years longer than single men. By the way, an unregistered marriage is no help in this regard: the researchers found that in such a marriage, people in many respects feel more like bachelors than family people.
4. Love Tomatoes
If you still haven't succeeded, put them in sandwiches, soups, eat them with salt or sugar. Tomatoes, it turns out, are the most rejuvenating product: 1 & ndash; 2 pieces a day reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by as much as 30%. In addition, the lycopene contained in tomatoes protects against photoaging (premature formation of wrinkles due to exposure to sunlight).
5. Donate blood
Surprising but true: male donors are 17 times less likely to suffer from heart attacks.
6. Blow your tune
In other words, don't conform to public opinion if you don't like it. Break your habits for the sake of others – too much stress shortening life.
7. See to the root
That is, for root crops. They differ from the fruits growing at the top in that the vitamins in them do not disappear with time, but accumulate. Please note: carrots will maintain visual acuity, parsnips will reduce the risk of osteochondrosis, and Jerusalem artichoke will prevent diabetes.
8. Visit your parents
According to experts, when a person is close to his mother, his high blood pressure normalizes.
9. Learn to listen to classical music
Researchers believe that Beethoven's music normalizes heart rate, lowers blood pressure and relaxes tense muscles, while Mozart's works improve brain function.
10. Don't throw away bread crusts
Especially rye: they contain 8 times more antioxidant pronillisin (protects against early aging) than the rest of the loaf. So lovers of black buns have every chance to live longer than fans of French buns.
11. Get a cat or a dog
Their owners are less likely to suffer from stress and high blood pressure.
12. Buy an alarm clock with a soft melody
Sudden loud sound – like the morning wail of an alarm clock – increases the risk of a heart attack. Our body perceives loud sounds as a danger signal and reacts accordingly – a rush of adrenaline that overtaxes the heart.
13. Trust in God
Statistics say that people who regularly attend church or other places of worship live 3-5 years longer than the average population. Do not accept religious ideas? Then get out into the forest more often and admire the beauty of nature.
14. Eat nuts
The exotic Brazil nut is rich in silicon and reduces the risk of cancer by 40%. However, the habitual hazelnut – due to the high content of vitamin E. However, each type of nuts has its own beneficial properties, the main thing is that you are not allergic to them. Only salted nuts are not welcome.
15. Explore new hobbies
Many centenarians believe that playing a musical instrument or learning foreign languages helped them celebrate their 100th birthday. If you dreamed of singing in a choir as a child, feel free to – sign up for amateur performances, even if you are over 40. Don't tell yourself: "It's too late for me, I'm too old for this" – By doing this, you are programming yourself for accelerated aging.
16. Move out of town
Rural residents have a more positive outlook on life than city dwellers who constantly live in an atmosphere of rush and stress. Although perhaps this is true for European villagers, and not for our…
17. Read labels
After reading what is written on them, you may change your mind about buying the product whose label is teeming with the letters E, dyes and flavor enhancers. So your food will become healthier.
18. Eat garlic
Don't let the smell fool you: it's a superfood for the heart! Garlic contains the substance allicin, which dilates blood vessels and facilitates the movement of blood. Including in the coronary artery that feeds the heart itself.
19. Change your shower curtain often
Practice shows that the fabric curtain in the bathroom – nursery for bacteria and fungi that can cause allergies and asthma. Change it every six months or change to a glass cockpit that is easier to clean.
20. Allow yourself little weaknesses
Experts say your favorite activities, such as shopping, visiting, or reading a thrilling detective story, are just as beneficial as fitness workouts. They cause the release of endorphins and adrenaline – hormones that have a rejuvenating effect on all body systems.
