The secret of longevity is anti-aging. Don't take a nap According to the research results published in Archives of Popular Psychiatry, too much sleep does shorten people's life span. Studies have shown that people who sleep more than 8 hours a night have a higher mortality rate. Of course, the less sleep the better. Sleeping less than 4 hours a day also increases the risk of death. Although many people think that sleeping eight hours a day is just right, research shows that people who sleep six to seven hours a day belong to the longest category. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, found that the early mortality rate of optimists is 50% lower than that of pessimists. Because people who are used to dealing with life problems with a positive attitude have less stress in life and are better at coordinating their adaptation difficulties, optimists have lower blood pressure and are healthier than pessimists. Research articles published in Journal of American Medical Association show that sexual life can help individuals to reduce the pressure of life and get more rest, thus lowering blood pressure, preventing heart disease and stroke, and contributing to longevity. Of course, to achieve the above effect, it does not mean that people should succumb to primitive instinct like animals, but fully enjoy the intimate time with their lovers. The researchers also pointed out that more frequent sex life also helps to reduce the risk of prostate disease. Researcher Erica said, get a pet. According to Fu Lederman, people who own pets (especially dogs) have less stress, lower blood pressure and less frequent visits to doctors than people who don't own pets. In addition, the survival rate after heart attack is higher than that of people without pets 12%. The reason may be that pet owners feel less lonely, get more joy when they get along with pets, and exercise. VAP test In the United States, the cholesterol level of about half of heart disease patients is in the "normal range", which makes people wonder: Can the traditional cholesterol test detect the real danger? A new generation of cholesterol detection methods, such as the VAP test invented by acero Laboratory in Birmingham, Alabama, USA, can make up for the shortcomings of traditional methods. Because the risk of abnormal cholesterol level is cumulative, the sooner you find it, the better. According to the statistics of the National Health Data Center, people with the lowest family income and the least education have the most health problems. One possible explanation is that high-income families have better diet and living conditions and more comprehensive medical security. Of course, it doesn't mean that the more money, the better-the bosses of those companies have to bear huge work pressure several times higher than ordinary people, and their health may also be affected. It is a cliche that quitting smoking is harmful to health, but it is undeniable that quitting smoking does show the effect of prolonging life. A survey in 2003 showed that middle-aged men who smoked heavily for a long time were twice as likely to develop prostate cancer as those who never smoked. In addition, the archives of geriatrics recently announced that smoking is related to many common causes of death in the elderly. American John said to reduce anger. According to the research results of Hopkins Medical College, men who are classified as "often show the highest level of anger when facing pressure" are twice as likely to suffer from early heart disease as those who often slow down a few beats when losing their temper. This huge gap can be roughly attributed to the link between anger and high blood pressure. Therefore, we should try to eliminate the interference of stress on personal emotions. Antioxidants Antioxidants can be found in many foods, such as cinnamon, cloves, blueberries and artichokes. Eating more foods containing antioxidants will help to eliminate excess free radicals in the human body and slow down cell aging. Studies have shown that eating beans is the best source of antioxidants, and blueberries and other kinds of fruits are also very beneficial to the body. In life, when we evaluate someone's "happy marriage", it generally means that this person has found a rich marriage partner. However, the "good and bad" we are discussing here is from the perspective of genetics. According to research, longevity can be inherited for three generations. Therefore, when choosing a girlfriend, a bachelor might as well see if her grandparents are still alive. Of course, it won't make you live longer, but your children will benefit.
