Year after year, after the Lantern Festival, a new year of struggle began.
And seeing your age increase year by year, the more realistic your desire for health and longevity is.
Although life, old age, illness and death are the common sentiment of human beings, it is also a natural law, and no one can avoid it. But from ancient times to the present, longevity has always been the goal that people pursue.
Of course, with the continuous development of modern medicine and the improvement of living standards, human life expectancy has also been greatly improved.
As the saying goes: the plan of the year lies in the spring, and if we want to live a long life, what should we do in our daily lives?
Longevity is sometimes related to heredity and genes
There are many factors that affect the length of life, some of which we cannot change, such as heredity.
Back in April 2020, Biology professors Vera Gorbunova and Andrei Seluanov from the University of Rochester in the United States and their research team made a breakthrough in the study of SIRT6, a member of the Sirtuins (SIRT) protein family.
They have found that SIRT6 can repair damaged DNA, can regulate cell homeostasis, and regulate DNA repair, known as "longevity genes".
In addition to heredity, what else can be done about the secret of longevity?
In fact, if you can adhere to the following five good habits for a long time, then you are likely to be "favored" by longevity.
1. Keep away from cigarettes
To ensure good health, actively staying away from cigarettes is the first priority.
Because tobacco contains many harmful substances, and a large part of them are highly carcinogenic, such as the most well-known tar, nicotine and so on.
In addition, as the blood flows, harmful substances in tobacco can flow throughout the body. Therefore, if you want to stay away from physical diseases, you must actively quit smoking.
For this point, smokers must pay more attention to it.
2. Keep away from alcohol
Alcohol has always played a very important role in interpersonal communication, but for the sake of good health, the practice of drinking alcohol regularly is very undesirable.
In the catabolic process of alcohol, a large number of harmful substances are produced, which is actually very unfavorable for liver maintenance.
In addition, alcohol is too irritating, and regular alcohol consumption can also cause very serious adverse effects on blood vessels, gastrointestinal and endocrine.
In the long run, it is easy to cause serious physical diseases due to excessive drinking, which will hinder life extension and longevity.
3. Eat on time
In the state of frequent fasting, it is easy to seriously damage the gastric mucosa.
Over time, it is likely to lead to a sharp increase in the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases, which is extremely negative for food digestion and nutrient absorption.
People with good habits of eating on time tend to be more likely to achieve longevity than people who eat irregularly for a long time.
4. Rest on time
In modern society, due to busy work, many people will choose to postpone falling asleep in order to catch up with the progress of work, which is actually very undesirable.
Staying up late often can cause a disturbance of the biological clock, leading to endocrine disorders, which will not only induce a significant decline in sleep quality, but also have a serious adverse impact on disease prevention.
For the need to rest on time, it is important to pay more attention.
5. Control emotions
What many people don't know is that whether the emotional state is maintained well or not has a great impact on human health.
If you are often depressed, angry, anxious, it is easy to lead to endocrine disorders, it is likely to cause a very serious adverse effect on liver maintenance, which is quite harmful to immunity and resistance.
In the process of life extension, we must pay full attention to the reasonable control of emotions.
If negative emotions accumulate too much, you must actively take countermeasures and remember not to let it go for a long time.
As mentioned earlier, the average life expectancy continues to increase, and it also depends on the improvement of the medical level and the economic level.
Since we have this condition, at least we can make full use of regular physical examinations to understand the specific conditions of our bodies in a timely manner, such as blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, etc. These indicators are abnormal corona heart disease, stroke and other key factors.
Everyone wants to live a long life, so at least we can do this well, and we can have more chances of winning on the road to health.
