Things To Help You Live Longer

Normalize Eating at Home

While eating at restaurants seems cool, it prevents you from watching what you eat. Eating at restaurants is a surefire way of taking large amounts of sugar and unsaturated fats. When you are on an unhealthy diet, your life expectancy automatically declines.

Stay Physically Active

Engaging in regular physical activity is a necessary way of managing your weight and blood pressure levels. Being overweight or obese and having unhealthy blood pressure levels encourage heart disease that mostly leads to death. Exercises that promote longevity include swimming, running and walking.

Manage Your Stress

When you are stressed, your body releases cortisol hormone as a coping mechanism. Excess cortisol causes rapid weight gain and high blood pressure, both of which make you more susceptible to heart disease.

Practice Meditation

Meditation is one of the best ways of reducing stress and maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. Researchers also believe meditation increases the production of catalase, an enzyme that promotes longevity.
