5 everyday habits to help you live longer
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on TelegramShare on WhatsApp

Wouldn’t you like to add years to your life? If we’ve learned anything from the past year and a half, it’s that life is not to be taken for granted, because it can be taken from us—quickly, and without remorse.

While healthy living and longevity entails a lot, there are five habits that are tipped by experts as the best. Add them into your routine and live a longer and healthier life.

Maintain a healthy body weight

There are a few ways maintaining a healthy body weight sets you up for a longer life. One is that weight gain, particularly obesity, shortens your life, and it’s been proven to do so. You likely know that the excess weight, and visceral fat, can lead to a heart attack and diabetes. A new American Cancer Society report, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, found that obesity could soon overtake smoking as the number 1 cause of cancer. So what’s a “healthy body weight”? “If your BMI”—that’s body mass index—”is 18.5 to 24.9, it falls within the normal or Healthy Weight range.”

Drink coffee

Even non-caffeinated beverages were found to increase the lifespan of those studied in one fairly recent report, published in JAMA Network. “Coffee drinking was inversely associated with mortality, including among those drinking 8 or more cups per day,” said the researchers. Drinking coffee cuts your risk of liver problems, according to a study. It’s also been linked to a reduced risk of Parkinson’s disease, prostate cancer and melanoma.

Use sunscreen

Using sunscreen doesn’t just protect you from skin cancer, but wouldn’t that be enough? It also helps your face and body age less. Your skin is porous and thin—think of how easy it is to get a papercut. The sun’s dangerous rays can bring on disease that may not strike till later, a hidden danger in plain sight. Apply sunscreen 15 minutes before going outside. Good rule of thumb: one teaspoon of sunscreen per area of the body.

Exercise for 30 minutes per day

Why 30 minutes per day? The Mayo Clinic and others set that benchmark and it’s been proven to keep your heart happy as you elevate your blood flow, leading to decreased risk of metabolic syndrome, stroke, cardiovascular disease, or diabetes. Research published in the American Physiological Society has also shown that it leads to additional weight loss.

Prioritise your happiness

None of us are the platonic ideal of “happy” all the time, but if you aren’t prioritising your happiness, you are putting your life on the line. An oft-quoted study found that a “positive affect” leads to better health, while a review of 35 different studies found that “positive psychological well-being has a favorable effect on survival in both healthy and diseased populations.” If you feel you just cannot achieve that happy feeling, consider discussing your situation with a therapist.
