Most people don't know that the length of life is related to these aspects
In ancient times, emperors wanted to live a long life and searched for elixir of immortality, but in this world there will be real immortality. In the past, average life expectancy was around 50-60 years. With the development of technology and medicine, the average life expectancy is getting higher and higher. According to the survey, the average life expectancy of girls is 84 years, and the average life expectancy of boys is 81 years, and there are more and more centenarians. Many people believe that longevity is related to heredity. However, studies have shown that genetics account for 16% of the causes of longevity, and other factors such as environment, mentality, and lifestyle account for 86%. It can be seen that heredity is not the reason for determining whether you will live long.
Compared with the impracticality of longevity in ancient times, longevity is particularly common today. Because of the development of science and technology and the improvement of medical facilities, people can be treated in time when they are sick, and terminal illnesses that were previously incurable can now be treated with the help of doctors and powerful medical equipment. In addition, people's consumption level is getting higher and higher now, and their pursuit of life and spirit is getting richer and richer. People start to pay more attention to health preservation, exercise, and improve the quality of life. The body is getting healthier and the life expectancy is getting longer and longer. long.
How genetics affect longevity
Many people may question it. It is obvious that friends around you have longevity from generation to generation. Isn't this influenced by genetics? The reason for this is that on the one hand it is genetics, and on the other hand it is because the family lives together. Their living habits and eating habits are very similar, so they are related in all aspects, such as physical health and longevity. are also very similar.
The following aspects can help us maintain good health in our daily life, health and longevity are closely related
Three meals a day, a balanced diet
Nowadays, many people like to sleep until the sun is shining during the holidays, omitting breakfast, just to enjoy the time to sleep in every weekend. Even some people at work usually skip breakfast and save for lunch in order to sleep more. In fact, this is particularly harmful to the stomach. The human body has its own biological clock. After a night's rest, our body needs to eat in the morning to resume work. Although breakfast is not as rich as lunch, it is the most crucial meal of the day. A breakfast in the morning can help our body wake up and start the day with a better spirit. If you often skip breakfast, first of all, it is not good for gastrointestinal digestion. People who eat breakfast have higher digestion efficiency than those who do not eat breakfast. Second, they skip breakfast and eat lunch directly. Lunch is relatively greasy, and the first meal of the day is too much for the stomach. Greasy and can cause gastrointestinal upset.
Not only breakfast, we often say "eat more breakfast, eat better lunch, and eat less dinner", but since most people have to go to work during the day, lunch is done casually, eating quickly and resting well. When I get off work in the evening, the day's work is over, I just want to relax, go out to eat a big meal or buy a bunch of delicious food, so that most people now "eat whatever you want for lunch, and eat well for dinner". Dinner is our last meal of the day, and a late-night snack is not a full meal. Eating too much or too much oil for dinner will burden the liver and stomach.
healthy lifestyle
A healthy lifestyle may seem very broad, but in fact it is very simple to grasp the keyword of health. Doing healthy things, eating healthy food, drinking healthy water, sleeping healthy, exercising healthy, it all comes together to live a long and healthy life. Usually, we must smoke less, not drink alcohol, and tell the people around us the disadvantages of smoking, so as to avoid being forced to inhale second-hand smoke, which is harmful to the body. In addition, drinking alcohol can be appropriate to drink wine, red wine and other healthy wines, and drink less beer. Appropriate drinking is also good for health, but don't drink too much.
good attitude
This is really very important. Even people who have been convicted of terminal illness, keep a good attitude and face it with optimism, and life will always give surprises. In daily life, be less angry, smile more, and look at everything and everything with positive and positive energy. I believe that such a person will definitely give people a sense of a quiet life, and a good mentality is a person's most powerful weapon. No setback could crush him.
Of course, the above opinions come from research and investigation and have certain scientific basis, but longevity does not necessarily mean that you must pay attention to everything, on the contrary, too much self-restraint will lead to a bad mood and easy irritability, which will backfire and be even worse. . You should eat and drink, but you must have a certain degree of control, not without restraint.
