Six steps to improve your Healthspan #AThread
1. Prioritise Sleep. A meta-regression of 40 prospective cohort studies found that sleeping less than seven hours per night was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality.
2.Improve Stress management. Studies show that a greater positive affect, such as feeling emotions like joy, is associated with longevity and lower mortality risk. Wear a smile and reduce stress in your life
3. Engage in strength based exercises. A meta-analysis of over 370,000 participants found that resistance training was associated with a 21% lower risk of all-cause mortality and a 40% lower risk when combined with aerobic exercise.
4. Eat nutrient dense food. In addition to when and how much food you eat, what you eat also contributes to healthy ageing. Eat food directly from nature. Mostly plants, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds.
5. Eat 80% full. Eat until you’re 80% full. Generally, this is when you feel satisfied but not full quite yet. Thats possible when you are eating mindful and not in a rush or with TV or mobile on. Mindful and grateful eating can change your health.
6. Be part of a community.Research into longevity has shown that our communities &social circles play a more significant role in determining our healthspan.When it comes to healthy aging,social interactions may be what brings us over the tipping point into a long and healthy life
