The key to The Lancet's health

Longevity is the eternal pursuit of people, and I believe no one doesn't want to have a long and long life. According to a study published in The Lancet, by 2040, the life expectancy of China people will exceed 80 years, and that of Japanese, Singaporeans, Spaniards and Swiss people will exceed 85 years. It can be seen from this study that the average life expectancy of human beings is increasing. But don't be too happy, this is just a prediction, and there are many factors that really affect your longevity.

1, obese

Obesity is a characteristic of people with short life span. Focus on two parts, 1 part is waist, and the second part is neck. Excessive waist circumference and high visceral fat content will increase the incidence of diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and fatty liver. Too thick neck is the manifestation of abnormal subcutaneous fat accumulation, and such people are more likely to get diseases such as heart disease.

I am in a bad mood every day.

Some people are particularly prone to depression and always sulk, which will affect their life span. In July this year, the European Heart Journal published a new research report, which pointed out that anger is an important cause of myocardial infarction and heart disease.

3. There are "four highs"

If you have "four heights", your life may be shortened. These "four highs" are hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia and hyperlipidemia. If blood pressure can't be controlled, it is particularly easy to get cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Hyperglycemia can lead to diabetes, and there are many complications of diabetes, many of which will endanger the life and health of diabetic patients.

Gout is easy to occur in uric acid is too high. Besides, it will endanger the health of kidneys and cause serious kidney damage. Hyperlipidemia is prone to atherosclerosis, and the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will be higher.

The Lancet once published a research report, which analyzed the health data of 188 countries and regions around the world, and summarized the factors affecting human health and longevity.

1, smoking

Smoking is very harmful to human health, and many people have this habit in life. Research shows that the adult smoking rate in China can reach 27.7%, and 360 million smokers and 740 million people smoke second-hand smoke every day. Long-term smoking or second-hand smoke will damage many organs of the body, including the lungs and heart, and it is easier to get cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and it also has a high incidence rate for some tumors. Quit smoking as soon as possible, make a plan to quit smoking, and strive for a success.

2. High-salt diet

Salt is an indispensable condiment in life, but we should control the salt content of food, because a high-salt diet is also one of the factors that reduce the title of the book. Eating too much salt will become unstable and affect the health of the kidneys. According to the research report, the number of deaths caused by high sodium diet is increasing year by year. Don't eat more than 6 grams of salt every day, and be careful of the invisible salt in life. Many snacks have excessive salt.

3, do not like to eat fruits and vegetables.

In real life, many people have the habit of partial eclipse, preferring meat to fruits and vegetables, which is also one of the factors that will affect their life span. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, this diet habit of not eating fruits and vegetables has led to 19% of gastrointestinal cancers worldwide. Insufficient intake of vegetables and fruits for a long time is not only easy to get gastrointestinal diseases, but also easy to get heart disease. Try to eat as many kinds of fruits and vegetables as possible every day, at least six kinds, to overcome the bad habit of picky eaters.

4. Air pollution

With the development of industry, air pollution is becoming more and more serious. From 1990 to 20 13, the number of deaths caused by air pollution in China increased by 59.3%. Air pollution includes many situations, such as automobile exhaust, factory exhaust, smog and so on. Inhale these polluted air for a long time, and the toxic and harmful components in the air will enter the human body, affecting lung health and increasing the risk of lung cancer. Wear a mask when going out. Don't open the window for ventilation in the morning and evening when the air quality is bad. Pay attention to environmental protection on weekdays.

Step 5 drink

Drinking alcohol is also a factor that will shorten life span, which is pointed out in the 20 16 global disease burden report. The number of deaths caused by alcohol is increasing. In 20 16, 2.8 million people died of alcohol. Excessive alcohol intake can easily lead to liver diseases such as fatty liver, heart disease and stomach disease, as well as cancer risks such as gastric cancer and liver cancer. Giving up drinking as soon as possible is the most rational choice.

People with short lives generally have many performances, and it is convenient for them to correct themselves after understanding these performances. There is no shortcut to longevity. It is most important to live a healthy life every day and keep your body healthy.
