Many people want to live a long life for themselves and their loved ones, but not everyone can live a long life. Because in life, there are too many factors that affect people's life expectancy, including diseases, accidents, living environment, etc.
However, smoking and drinking alcohol are recognized as bad habits, and these two bad habits will cause damage to the human body and even seriously affect the length of people's lives. Is this true?
The answer is yes.
Next, we will introduce the damage caused to the body by smoking and drinking alcohol.
1. Smoking
Cigarettes contain thousands of chemicals, including more than 400 chemicals that are harmful to the human body.
Including more than 40 substances such as nicotine, tar and nitrosamines, it is also possible to cause cell lesions in the body, make people's respiratory system inflammation, and easily cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so that people have a variety of uncomfortable symptoms.
Not only that, the nicotine and tar in the cigarette also have a certain carcinogenicity, if long-term smoking will make the cells cancerous, the patient's body will be seriously damaged, if the cancer cells have spread and metastasized, the patient's life will be a serious threat. If there is no effective treatment, patients are deprived of their right to live.
It can be seen that smoking is a chronic suicidal behavior that will affect the life expectancy of the human body. Therefore, people who want to make themselves live longer should avoid smoking as much as possible and do not let their bodies be harmed by these harmful substances.
Although there are some long-lived elderly people in real life who also have the habit of smoking, but such a probability is very rare, and not everyone can be so lucky. I hope that everyone will not have the psychology of luck, thinking that smoking will not affect life expectancy.
2. Drink alcohol
Clinically, many people suffer from gastrointestinal inflammation or ulcers because of long-term alcohol consumption or a lot of alcoholism, and some people suffer from alcoholic liver disease and hypertension. These diseases will cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms in the patient's body, which will seriously affect life and work.
If you do not actively receive treatment, further deterioration of the condition will also threaten life safety and shorten the life of the person.
For example, alcoholic liver disease may develop into cirrhosis and liver cancer. Among them, liver cancer is a more difficult disease to treat, once it develops to an advanced stage, the treatment of the disease is more difficult, and many patients lose their precious lives.
Hypertension is also a chronic disease, once the blood pressure is not well controlled, so that the blood pressure for a long time will be high will likely cause atherosclerosis, so that people have coronary heart disease, hypertensive kidney disease, cerebral infarction and other serious complications, people's life will become shorter and shorter.
Whether it is smoking or drinking alcohol, it will cause chronic damage to the body, especially a lot of smoking and drinking, which will greatly shorten people's life expectancy. Therefore, for the sake of physical health, life expectancy is longer, it is best not to develop the habit of smoking and drinking.
If you want to achieve longevity, you must keep a light diet, go to bed on time at night, get up on time in the morning, and pay attention to the combination of work and leisure, do not let the body overwork, and can not be inactive for a long time.
If you find that the body has symptoms of discomfort, you must go to the hospital in time to actively cooperate with the doctor to cure the disease and let the body recover as soon as possible. I believe that by doing these things, everyone will be favored by longevity.
