We have collected from different sources scientific data on what to do (and what not to do) to live longer (and healthier, of course).
1. Walk more
The best recipe for longevity is exercise. Doctors are increasingly prescribing fitness instead of drugs. Exercise improves the condition of the brain, heart, skin, improves mood and metabolism. Even as small a dose as 10 minutes of vigorous walking helps. But, starting with it, gradually extend to 15. Then to 20. Slowly but surely increase the load.
2. Increase your speed gradually
The more vigorous walking, the better for health. A University of Pittsburgh study of older people over 65 found that the higher the walking speed, the longer the life. Of course, this will not work for everyone, but it makes sense to gradually increase the intensity.
3. Build and Maintain Muscle
As we age, we lose the muscle strength and mass we need to maintain health and active longevity. Atrophy leads to an increased risk of falls and fractures, cardiovascular disease, and increased mortality from all causes. To prevent age-related loss of muscle and bone mass (which begins around age 35), experts recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, as well as regular weight training and stretching.
9. Eat frozen vegetables, fruits, berries - when it's not in season
You can also eat well in those times of the year when it is not the season for fresh fruits. British scientists have found that fresh fruit begins to lose nutrients after three days in the refrigerator, while freshly frozen ones are stored nutrients longer. One study even found that frozen blueberries have more vitamin C than fresh blueberries.
10. Appreciate ripe vegetables and fruits
Not that an unripe fruit will poison you to death, but in mature ones it is more useful for prolonging life. For example, green bananas have less fiber and more tannins that cause constipation. Ripe pears and blackberries have more antioxidants. And the red color of a ripe watermelon indicates a higher content of lycopene.
11. Cut down on sugar
A large amount of sugar in the diet raises blood sugar and LDL levels, lowers HDL, which triples the risk of cardiovascular disease. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 6 teaspoons (25 grams) of sugar per day for women and no more than 9 (36 grams) for men.
12. Take Vitamin D (but don't overdo it!)
Vitamin D has many beneficial effects (including life extension), but too much is harmful, a 2015 Danish study found. Scientists from the University of Copenhagen found that the optimal level of vitamin D in the blood is from 50 nanomoles per liter, but not more than 100 nmol / l.
13. Drink green tea
If you don't like coffee, then green tea has enough powerful antioxidants that prevent diabetes and heart disease. A large Japanese study of 40,000 people found that five or more cups of green tea a day reduced mortality by 12% in men and 23% in women.
14. Drink coffee
It not only helps you wake up, but also reduces the risk of stroke, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. A 2015 study by Harvard scientists and published in Circulation states that "those who drink 3-5 cups of coffee a day have a 15% lower risk of premature death compared to those who do not drink coffee."
15. Add Whole Grains
The average American consumes only one serving of whole grains per day, such as one toast with breakfast. But as a 2016 Harvard University study found, three or more servings cut the overall death rate by 20%. So add more whole grains to your meals: oats, brown rice, quinoa, farro, whole grain bread.
16. Add spices, especially pepper and turmeric
A 2016 study analyzed the eating habits of more than 16,000 men and women over 23 years and found that chili eaters were 13% less likely to die.
Spices like turmeric, ginger, and cayenne pepper have anti-inflammatory properties and enhance immune system. A study published in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, for example, found that turmeric was comparable to ibuprofen in treating osteoarthritis of the knee. Other studies have noted that turmeric can slow down the growth of cancer cells and prevent atherosclerosis.
17. Drink Whole Dairy
Forget skim milk and yogurt: A 2016 study published in Circulation found that people who consumed the highest fat dairy products had a 50% lower risk of diabetes (which shortens life on average by 8-10 years).
18. Eat vegetables
A study that analyzed the lives of 73,000 people over 6 years found that vegetarians had a 12% lower mortality rate. A 2016 study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found lowest level mortality among pesco-vegetarians (who sometimes consumed fish), followed by vegans (who excluded animal products altogether) and lacto-ovo-vegetarians (who consumed milk and eggs).
However, there is other scientific evidence that veganism (not vegetarianism) is rather harmful. See more in the article "Does the refusal of meat prolong life."
19. Eat like in Greece
Mediterranean diet (vegetables, fruits, nuts, olive oil and fish) is one of the most beneficial for health and life extension. A 2014 Harvard study published in the British Medical Journal found that people on this diet have longer telomeres (the ends of their chromosomes), which prevents aging. They also noticed that even the periodic transition to such a diet benefits health.
20. Eat nuts
A European study looking at people aged 55-69 found that eating 10 grams of nuts (8 almonds or 6 cashews) daily reduced the risk of death from all causes by 23%.
An earlier study in America found that a handful of nuts at least five times a week reduced the risk of death from heart disease by 29%, from respiratory diseases by 24%, and from cancer by 11%.
Peanut butter, by the way, does not bring such benefits.
21. Don't Overeat
If you want to live to 100, then don't overeat, says Dan Buetner, famed longevity researcher. For example, he found that Okinawan centenarians stop eating when they feel 80 percent full.
A study by the National Institutes of Health also found that calorie restriction lowered blood pressure, lowered cholesterol, and improved insulin sensitivity.
22. Drink less
If you drink more than you should (one serving of alcohol per day for women and two for men), then life is reduced.
The observation of researchers at Cornell University will help a little here: if you pour red wine into a white glass (narrower), you will drink 12% less than from red wine glasses.
23. Practice Intermittent Fasting
The latest research from researchers at the University of Southern California Institute for Longevity has found a link between controlled calorie restriction and boosting the immune system, which fights cell damage from age-related diseases and cancer.
The researchers even suggested such a diet: a five-day "fast" when a person consumes only 700 kcal per day (50% from fat, 35% from carbohydrates and 15% from protein). Such a fast should only be done a limited number of times a year to reap the full health benefits.
24. Take CoQ10
The antioxidant coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is essential for proper cell function, but levels decline over the years. Since a number of studies have found that CoQ10 helps people with cardiovascular disorders, many experts recommend taking it as a supplement.
25. Don't take too many painkillers.
According to the findings of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2014, regular use of drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen (including over-the-counter brands like Advil, Motrin, Aleve) can increase the risk of heart attack by 10%. And strong prescription drugs can increase this risk by 20-50% after just a few weeks of use.
26. Get enough sleep
If you regularly sleep less than 6 hours, the risk of heart attack and stroke almost doubles (according to a review of 15 studies published in the European Heart Journal). Another 25-year study found that sleep-deprived people die 12% more often than those who sleep between 6 and 8 hours.
27. Have sex more often
A Duke University study that followed 252 people over 25 years noticed a link between frequent sex and longevity in men.
28. Live in a marriage
Marriage is good for health - and increases life expectancy. In the famous cardiological study of the inhabitants of Framingham (still ongoing - since 1948) found that risk of death married men 46% lower than bachelors.
And a 2014 New York University study found that married men and women were 5% less likely to develop cardiovascular disease.
29. Save Umbilical Blood
If your family is about to have a baby, consider saving umbilical blood. It is a source of stem cells that can be used to renew the blood and immune system to fight disease. It can be used not only by the child himself, but also by other family members with the same DNA. Umbilical blood drugs are currently being developed to overcome previously incurable diseases.
30. Don't Ignore Vacation
This is no joke: one study found that men who forego their annual leave are 32% more likely to die of a heart attack.
And a long-term heart study in Framingham found that women who rested only once every 6 years were 8 times more likely to suffer from coronary artery disease and heart attacks than women who took disciplined rest twice a year.
31. Meditate
Today we have many means of dealing with negative influence stress, but the oldest way - meditation - also improves brain function. Researchers at the Harvard School have found that regular meditators have thickening of the cerebral cortex in areas associated with attention and emotional integration.
And a 2015 study from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) showed that meditators have more gray matter in their brains, which improves memory and cognitive function.
32. Keep track of urine color (hydration)
If you drink enough water (your urine stays clear), you prolong your life by reducing the risk of bladder or colon cancer and by maintaining kidney function.
Weight Loss Bonus: A University of Illinois study found that people who drank more water consumed an average of 68-205 calories less per day.
33. Don't eat at night
A Harvard study found that eating late dinner increased the risk of heart disease by 55% in men aged 45-82.
34. Get Rich
Happiness is not in money, but it helps to live longer. A 2016 Stanford study compared people by income level and found that the richest lived nearly 15 years longer than the poorest. Scientists explain this gap more in a healthy way the lives of wealthy people who, for example, smoke less often and are less overweight.
35. Experience a sense of admiration
For example, visit your favorite museum, the Grand Canyon, or relisten to the Ninth Symphony - a University of California study says it stimulates protective systems organism. The feeling of beauty and admiration normalize the level of cytokines, so that they not only bring us pleasure, but also improve health and prolong life.
36. Get a four-legged friend
A number of studies show that having a pet relieves stress, lowers blood pressure, and even increases the chances of surviving a heart attack. The American Heart Association especially recommends getting a dog for heart problems - their owners are more physically active and suffer less stress.
37. Find a calling
A 2014 study published in the Lancet found that having a hobby reduces the risk of death by 30%. Do anything - raise children, help neighbors. If you like it then can expect an average of 7 extra years of life.
38. Monitor the quality of food
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 3,000 Americans die each year from food poisoning. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is additionally frightening: you can get poisoned to death even with the most healthy food: sprouts, berries, raw tuna.
Hygiene can help reduce the risk. Wash your hands with soap, keep your kitchen, utensils and utensils clean, keep raw and cooked food separate, keep perishable foods in the refrigerator at all times, and cook at the right temperatures to kill bad bacteria.
39. Live in the mountains
Foci of centenarians are often found in mountainous areas. Scientists believe that thin air (containing less oxygen) leads to adaptations that strengthen the heart.
According to Soviet statistics, in 2004, 48 people over 100 years of age lived in the Lerik region of Azerbaijan. Including Mahmud Eyvazov - an unverified long-liver.
40. Laugh
Laughter really prolongs life and this is not a myth. Laughter relieves stress, stimulates the immune system, reduces pain and improves blood flow to the brain. Researchers at the University of Maryland even claim that laughter has the same effect on blood vessels as exercise.
41. Communicate
Research says that loneliness increases the risk of premature death by 45%: It weakens the immune system and raises blood pressure, increasing the chance of heart attack and stroke.
And vice versa - people who are surrounded by family and friends have a 50% lower risk of death according to a study from PLOS Medicine. So – visit more often and don’t neglect your online friends – a 2016 University of California study also found that Facebook users also live longer (but only on the condition that computer correspondence does not completely replace all face-to-face communication).
42. Spend time with your grandchildren
A 2016 study published in Evolution and Human Behavior found that this reduces the risk of death by a third, and can add 5 years to life. Apparently, babysitting adds meaning to grandparents and keeps them active both physically and mentally.
43. Avoid hospitals
A 2016 study by Johns Hopkins University found that about 250,000 patients die each year in hospitals due to medical errors ( misdiagnosis, procedures, medicines, etc.). So sometimes The best way to stay alive is not to enter the healthcare system at all.
44. Read more
Science confirms that reading prolongs lives - even newspapers and magazines will do, but books are still better. “Just half an hour of reading a book a day greatly increases the likelihood of survival (compared to those who do not read at all),” says Becca R. Levy, professor of epidemiology at Yale.
45. Examine at the first concern
Don't wait for an annual visit to the doctor - according to an English study, less than 60% of people who encounter unusual symptoms see a doctor in the first three months. For example, the following abnormalities may indicate cancer: sudden weight loss (5 kg or more), fever, severe fatigue, changes in bowel and bladder function, and bleeding. The appearance of dark spots on the skin can indicate diabetes, and changes in the color of the tongue can indicate problems with acidity. Running to the doctor - it can save your life.
46. Go through a fire drill
Only one in three families has a fire action plan. Most underestimate the danger of this situation, do not represent the speed of the spread of fire and think only at the last moment. Everyone should know what to do in case of fire.
47. Other things being equal, give preference to female doctors
Harvard scientists, analyzing more than 1.5 million case histories in 2016, found that more patients recover from female doctors. The researchers even stated that “32,000 fewer people would die every year if male therapists were as diligent and attentive as women.” Previous research also indicates that women are more likely to follow instructions and communicate better with patients.
48. Farewell
There are always enough problems in our lives, but family squabbles - especially long and irritable - have a stronger effect on health and longevity. Chronic stress leads to premature aging and a host of diseases, according to a long-term study from the University of California.
Forgive your loved ones, forgive yourself, leave grudges in the past - and more happy life waiting for you in the future.
49. Walk up the stairs
A University of Geneva study found that switching from elevators to stairs cuts the risk of premature death by 15%. And scientists from Concordia University, after doing MRI scans of 331 people aged 19-79, add that “daily climbing stairs rejuvenates the brain.” Gray matter decreases with age, but physical activity prevents this. ( We must remember this fact when we sell our apartment on the 5th floor in a building without an elevator - approx. Zozhnik).
50. Throw out slippery floor mats
According to a 2013 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study, about 38,000 older adults are admitted to hospital each year by slipping on mats, one of the most common causes severe injuries. Throw them away and put a rubber grate or non-slip rubber-backed mats in the tub.
51. Don't get distracted while driving
One in five accidents is due to a distracted driver. The main reason – according to a Virginia Tech study – mobile phone. However, the touchscreen of the dashboard is no less distracting.
52. Walk better in the park than in a busy city
About 5,000 citizens in the US alone die on the streets every year, and 20% of them are people over 65. If you go for a walk, it's better to go to the park.
53. Don't sit too long
A 2016 British study showed that sitting still for 7 or more hours a day increased the risk of death by 30% - with the exception of actively fidgeting fidgets.
54. Swap an old car for a modern one
New cars don't just look prettier and drive faster, they protect us better. Modern brake and electronic systems accident prevention, airbags and pretensioner belts, a host of ongoing safety innovations, all of which can save you (and not only you) lives.
55. Read Zozhnik and more
Our and similar publications keep you up to date with the latest health information, and research shows that people armed with information make better choices in life. So stay connected.
Translation for Zozhnik:
If at least once in a while you catch yourself thinking that you unhappy and life failed then try to stick to the following rules right life:
Rule one - Start every morning with something good. There are difficult times in everyone's life. It seems that everything is against us: family troubles, job loss, lack of money, separation from loved ones. If this happens, don't panic!
Every morning when you wake up, remember something good. Imagine that a pleasant day is ahead of you. After all, our thoughts are material. It is not simple beautiful words. This is a statement to be taken literally. Repeat a positive statement to yourself several times, even if everything is bad for you and you do not believe in what you are saying.
For example, "I have good job, I am a smart and successful person, I have enough money. "Be positive and believe in success no matter what. And then only good things will await you ahead. For this, you should work a little.
Rule two - Move more! If you do not have enough time and energy to do exercises in the morning and go for a run, just walk 1-2 stops. During physical activity, happiness hormones are released into the blood, so for a good mood, you need to devote time every day to playing sports or walking on fresh air. Who likes what and what is possible.
Rule three - Do not worry about trifles! The word "" has long taken its usual place in our speech turnover, which makes it impossible for many to live right and enjoy life. If something upsets them, they immediately clutch their heads, begin to get nervous, worry and blame themselves for not having time to say or do something.
In fact, a serious trouble comes to the house infrequently, and you should not worry about the little things. To enjoy this life, in difficult moments, you need to draw conclusions and move on. We must forget about what happened in the past, since it has nothing to do with the future. From there, you should take with you only experience, positive impressions, knowledge and joyful moments of life.
It is better to spend time admiring the world around you than on incorporeal experiences. Learn to enjoy every little thing. white snow, bright sun, warm rain, birdsong, green leaves, beautiful flower, meeting with a smiling child and so on.
Rule four - Do what you love! Do what you like best. Find your favorite thing. If you like to travel, save some money and spend it on excursions to a neighboring city or distant countries. Love to read, set aside 20-30 minutes every day for yourself to spend this time with a book in your hands and so on.
Rule five - Eat right! Give up all the harmful things that you eat, drink and smoke every day. Eat more vegetables, fruits and berries. They are high in vitamins A and C, which are considered especially beneficial for uplifting your mood. Do not use alcoholic beverages and drugs, they adversely affect not only health, but also negate everything that you have achieved in this life.
Rule six - Relax with family and friends! In family worries, bustle and workdays, we often do not find time to relax. There are always pressing issues. And in this race, we tend to forget about relatives and friends. And so life passes in loneliness, dissatisfaction with oneself and one's life.
Make a list of things that are important to you and leave time for rest. Get out with family or friends in a cafe, go to the park with your child and visit parents. In summer, go hiking or have picnics in nature, in winter - meet together New Year and go skiing, or you can just drink tea with your loved ones on the veranda.
Rule seven - Appreciate what you have! Appreciate what you have. Once you have established your true values, find your own path in life and celebrate what you have already achieved. Of course, everyone wants to live in a luxurious cottage and drive expensive foreign cars. This must be strived for, because a person, having no goal, stops in development and loses himself, which means that he does not feel happy. After all, happiness is the movement towards the goal.
But the pursuit of the goal should not discount those achievements that already exist. A cozy little apartment, a caring wife, a workaholic husband, healthy children - all this should please and bring a feeling of happiness. Appreciate what you have now and dream about the future, but you need to live exclusively in the present.
If you will be adhere to these rules, then you will understand that whether we are happy or not today depends only on ourselves. There is always a place for joy in life! Start rejoicing now - and life will get better!
Video clip does money bring happiness - talking about the rich
In case of problems with viewing, download the video from the pageFor a person who has questions about the correctness of his life, you can not worry. This means that he has the baggage of moral and ethical values that are accepted in the society in which he lives. And doubt is new stage the formation of a personality, a step of his spiritual growth.
All these values do not suddenly fall on a person, like hail in the summer heat, they are laid down gradually and constantly, from the moment of birth and awareness of oneself as a person. Everything that people who educate a person say, how they act themselves, what they preach and what they condemn - all this forms the character and worldview, which subsequently guides a person in social life.
Doubts about self-importance and correctness of lifestyle
Each stage of moral maturation is accompanied by internal throwing, doubts about the correctness of one's way of life and one's own significance. This may be due to dissatisfaction with the results of the material or spiritual plan.
If the priority of values, as a result of upbringing, is to achieve material well-being, then the desire to meet some standards that do not always meet one's own ideas about correctness causes internal discomfort and a desire to change something in life.
It is important to let go of other people's expectations and allow yourself to live in accordance with your requests. Not trying to turn inside out in pursuit of enrichment or living according to someone else's instructions. You only need to listen to the inner voice of your own soul.
How to live in harmony with yourself
First of all, you need to love yourself exactly the way you are. Accept yourself in this world with all your weaknesses and actions. Do not feel a false sense of obligation to someone or moral duty, if you do not feel it internally.
Do not allow yourself to commit acts that go against your own conscience and for which it will be painful for your soul. Pangs of conscience can poison the life of the most prosperous person.
Learn to enjoy every hour of your life. Greet each new day with gratitude. Even if there is hard work in the name of daily existence. Many are deprived of this. One has only to imagine for a moment that there are people bedridden with illness and terribly lonely, it becomes many times more valuable and their own worries do not seem so burdensome.
If the question of how to live correctly does not give rest for a long time, it is worth visiting the church and getting acquainted with the basic commandments. Believers who live by these commandments do not suffer from this kind of doubt. They just know how to do the right thing so that life is joyful.
Do not do evil, do not offend the weak, honor parents - the postulates of a righteous (or correct) life. With mother's milk, a person absorbs the concepts of good and evil, of what is good or bad.
There is no need to discover new tricky moral rules, you just need to live according to the laws and customs that have been developed by generations in that society, in that country and in that nation, of which a person considers himself a part.
The beginning of an independent life is an important stage in the biography of any person.
When you first start living alone, it means financial independence and the freedom to make any decisions. Just yesterday you were a man who doesn't put on his pants until one in the afternoon and loves to watch football, and now you have turned into a man who does not put on his pants before one in the afternoon, loves to look at football and lives on his own. This slight difference is what makes you an adult.
Remember Uncle Ben said to Peter Parker, "With great power comes great responsibility." We get all the coolness of adult life at our disposal, but in return we are forced to deal with boring adult duties: interacting with the boss at work, paying for a communal apartment, and generally living on our own.
And there is. All these grains of real life are the biggest pain in the ass that happens to adults. Of course, living on your own without neighbors and parents is cool, but literally everything else sucks all the members of the world. You do not trust me? When was the last time you heard someone say, “Man, try living on your own when you have to cook and buy toilet paper for yourself. COOL!"?
There are a billion sucky moments in living on your own, and I'll tell you about the most important ones.
1. Food is expensive
Have you ever wondered how much all that stuff in the fridge costs? I don't really. And then I discovered that I had to fill this refrigerator myself. And what turned out? All my favorite foods: cheese, honey, chocolate paste, fruit of all stripes are expensive. They are so expensive that I don't always buy them. I have enough money for an old-fashioned set like cereals, potatoes, basic vegetables, soy and cottage cheese (yes, I'm a vegetarian, stone me while I'm still here), but sometimes you have to save on delicacies. What can you do, it's a pain. If it weren't for rent, things would be much better. O breakfast cereals, o drinkable yoghurts, o tofu and tofu noodles from Chinese eateries, how few of you are in my independent life!
And healthy food is even more expensive. All those sprouts and whole grain pasta (I'm a pasta eater, I love pasta) are expensive. Stay out of these departments. Especially if you are standing on the border that separates the rogue from the normal person, like me.
2. The rent is expensive, the apartment is tiny, and the neighbors are musicians.
You will pay half your salary for rent, no matter what city you live in, and in exchange you will receive not the most luxurious apartment, a free bonus to which are neighbors who love to dance, hammer nails, drill walls, play drums, swear and wash clothes at three in the morning.
3. Bills are annoying and come at the most inopportune times.
About these monthly gifts: here is water, here is light, here is all the rest of the rubbish, get it, sign it. Imagine that you went on a date with a supermodel, and when you have already come to the point, she takes it and hits you in the balls. Feelings are about the same. Of course, to some extent, these bills allow us to do super cool things: turn on the lights and stay warm in winter - but they also make you do other super cool things: give away money and make you choose between crackers for breakfast and cheese, and not enough without thinking about either.
The need to check mailbox in anticipation of new scores makes your heart flutter like you're beating assholes in World War II. What can I say. Turn off the light in the toilet when you are not sitting in it. That's all I can help.
4. Things get dirty all the time
Having an apartment with things is like having a baby that constantly vomits. Dust, dirt, garbage, spider bugs - all this will be in your house if you don't clean up. Kitchens and bathrooms get dirty too, and that's even worse. Urgently start a girl and let her scrub it all.
5. You need to buy toilet paper often and as early as possible.
That's where the shock is. Toilet paper was just always in the closet when I lived at home. Remember that book that Harry Potter always had, even when they were in the woods? It was the same for me toilet paper. She was always in my house, she grew straight out of the holder, and I always expected to see her in her place. Not that case. I just can't put it into words: you shit a lot more than you think and use more sracpapyrus than you think. Buy early and as often as possible. You won't regret it, I guarantee it.
6. Moving is the biggest stress in the world.
I am convinced that hell is a place where bad people go after death, and Satan forces them to move every two weeks. The first thing to remember about moving is that all your friends will immediately find family events scheduled right for that date, and no one will want to help you. Another thing to remember is that all your stuff weighs billions of tons and doesn't go through the door. And one last thing, everything you bought at Ikea is solid until you start moving it. When you move a table you bought in Ikea, made, as it was written, “from durable composite wood”, it turns out that in fact it was assembled from cardboard, which is held together only by a strip of cheese melted in a microwave.
Moving sucks. Friends suck. Ikea sucks. processed cheese- that's cool, but it can't be used to make furniture.

After all, one desire is not enough ... you also need a willingness to work hard ... to become active and responsible for your life and destiny, and not expect a miracle ... you need live right…
Benjamin Franklin- who you see on the 100 dollar bill (if you have one) - was one of the founding fathers of the United States, and an internationally recognized scientist and public figure. It is he who owns the phrase "Time is Money" ... and many other wise sayings that lead people to success ...
