We all want to be healthy and be able to live longer. Although this depends on a lot of factors combined, there is still something to do if you want to have a longer life.

Protect yourself from within.

---

With age, our chromosomes become shorter and this increases the risk of disease. There is a way, however, to delay this process - if we live healthier and regularly do physical exercise. Healthy habits are something you need to find as early as possible in your life.

Let's be more conscientious.

---

We all know about the benefits of fruits and vegetables, how we need to drink plenty of water, to have a healthier life, to the sport. But very often we do not stick to those things that we know are useful to our health - either unwillingly, or it does us. An 80-year British study, however, showed that people who are more conscientious in this regard live longer. The explanation is that usually, such people are more interested in how to better care for themselves and strive for a healthier lifestyle.

Surround yourself with people who make you happy.

---

Man is an extremely social being and he is very much influenced by the environment in which he is. If we feel depressed or unhappy with the people around us, it can affect us negatively, including health. That is why you should carefully choose the people you spend your time to enjoy happiness and better health.

Not the harmful habits!

---

You have heard it a thousand times, and yet why not try again to get you to reduce cigarettes or alcohol that have been shown to harm your health? A British study shows that cessation of cigarettes at 40-, 50-, or 60-year-old can prolong life by about 9, 6, and 3 years. It's worth it, do not you think?

Do not be deprived of sleep.

---

Studies show that sleep reflects well on the heart and reduces the risk of heart disease. In addition to making you more relaxed and healthier, sleep keeps stress hormone levels low.

We are what we eat.

---

Do not compromise your food. And it is not true that it will cost you a lot of money. On the contrary, dig up for small farms or go and you will find in almost every bigger village small producers to sell you with home-grown fruit and vegetables. Forget about fat and red meat.

Get rid of the extra pounds.

---

If you observe that you are gaining too many kilos, which no longer affects your health, take action. Eat properly, do physical exercise, and if necessary - consult with a nutritionist. Obesity is one of the great scourges of the 21st century, do not let the problem get worse.

Find a way to get rid of stress and be more positive.

---

This will certainly reduce the risk of illnesses caused by high levels of stress. Travel, read an exercise, find a hobby. The choice is enormous and entirely yours.
