But the thing is, longevity is a very general concept, anyone can live a long life, but not necessarily anyone can live a long life.

Longevity, not simply eat a certain food, or drink a certain water

It is worth affirming that the reason for longevity is not simply "eating a certain kind of food" or "drinking the so-called longevity water".

According to the analysis by the World Health Organization, the top three causes of premature death are ---- coronary heart disease, stroke, and lower respiratory infections.

However, considering the different economic levels, medical conditions, and social development of different countries, the diseases that cause premature death also vary.

Backward less developed countries and regions are mainly infectious diseases, while developed countries are chronic non-communicable diseases such as coronary heart disease, tumors, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Of course, these are also the results of macro analysis, but taking into account personal reasons, both unchangeable genetic factors, but also can be changed later in life factors.

To maintain a long life, by walking more and sleeping more can be achieved?

Let's discuss this separately.

One, more walking

Although walking is a form of low-intensity exercise but belongs to aerobic exercise, and will not increase the burden on various organs, but also improve the overall digestion and metabolic function.

But this does not mean that with more walking, you can have a healthy and long life.

If walking too much, will wear joint parts, thus inducing a series of joint diseases, but not conducive to longevity.

Sleeping

Two, more sleep

Adequate sleep every day, both to relieve the body and brain fatigue, but also to eliminate some negative emotions.

In addition, at night sleep, the body's organs for self-operation and repair time is also the time to restore the blood. As long as you continue to get enough sleep, you will be able to improve the function of various organs and systems, which can maintain health and help you live longer.

But this does not mean that the more sleep you get every day, the healthier you are and the longer you can have a long life.

If you sleep too much but will lead to disruptions in the structure of the biological clock, affecting the body's hormone levels, leading to a reduction in the function of various systems, for the elderly population, also affecting the neurological function of the brain.

How to have a long life?

As mentioned above, genetics cannot be changed, but many factors can be altered by the acquired.

As the saying goes: things are in the hands of people, usually, long-lived people also tend to have these common points: 1.

1、Good habits in life

Factors that determine health and longevity include social environment, parental genetics, medical conditions, natural environment, and lifestyle factors, of which lifestyle factors account for 60%.

2, regular medical checkups good habits

Any population may suffer from some diseases, such as infectious diseases, allergic diseases, or some chronic diseases of the digestive tract, blood vessels, etc.

These diseases are benign, and as long as early acceptance of scientific standard treatment, can be quickly cured. However, if left untreated for a long time, it will lead to aggravation of the disease and even develop into cancer.

If you want to have a long life, you must develop the good habit of regular medical checkups, so that once the disease is found, it can be treated in time.

3、Be cheerful and have a peaceful mind

As the saying goes: a smile is a decade less.

If Lin Daiyu then you can adjust your mind in time, do not always focus on the grass Jia Baoyu, happy every day, and sisters laugh, and then regular appropriate exercise, why not die early?

All in all, it is not difficult to find, to maintain a long life, is nothing more than following these points ---- balanced diet, adhering to work, regular living, a cheerful personality, contentedness, and happiness.

Perhaps you are smart and resourceful, early found ------ these points are not the main points to maintain good health?

If we can maintain good health, away from disease, although not guarantee a 100% longer life, at least more than other people can win some chances.
