Five habits developed in middle age can prevent diseases in later life. The authoritative medical journal BMG has published a study, which shows that a healthy lifestyle can indeed improve the overall life expectancy and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. Therefore, in middle age, women who maintain the following five habits may increase their disease-free life by about 1 1 year, while men can increase their disease-free life by about eight years. What are the specific habits? Share it with you today.

First, eat less salt and sugar. Eating too much sugar and fat will accelerate people's aging and pose a threat to health. Sugar and fat are high in calories, so if you eat these foods for a long time, it is easy to increase people's weight, even lead to obesity, and increase the probability of suffering from hyperglycemia, hypertension and hyperlipidemia, which is not good for your health. Therefore, a healthy diet needs to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, drink less drinks and diversify foods. Pay attention to the collocation of coarse grains and flour rice, and restore the collocation of less salt, less sugar and less oil.

Second, keep a healthy weight. Obesity and weight are important factors leading to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes and other diseases. Obesity is not only the appearance of obesity, but also a large amount of fat accumulation in internal organs and cardiovascular system, which is prone to a variety of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Secondly, obesity is one of the factors that induce diabetes. The higher the degree of obesity, the higher the risk of diabetes. As for everyone, you can divide your weight by your height, and then divide it by your height to know if you are fat or not. For example, a person of 70kg, whose height is 1.75m, divides 70 by 1.75 and then divides it by1.75, and the value is between 18.5 and 24.9, which is the normal weight.

Thirdly, if you exercise for more than 30 minutes every day, regular exercise means that a person should exercise for more than 30 minutes every day with moderate intensity. In reducing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the top three are swing sports, swimming and aerobics. It should be reminded that although exercise has a certain effect on reducing all-cause mortality, long-term excessive exercise increases the risk of all-cause death. So the best exercise duration is 30 to 60 minutes a day. If it is less than 30 minutes, the effect of exercise will be reduced. But if it is more than 60 minutes, it will not get more benefits. Exercise three to five times a week is the best.

Fourth, limit drinking. Excessive drinking will increase the risk of liver disease, hypertension, obesity and cancer, so drinking is related to the liver, which has been recognized by the medical community. The more you drink, the more serious the damage to your liver. Fifth, do not smoke. Then, in the Report on the Health Hazards of Smoking in China in 2020, the harm of smoking and second-hand smoke to human body in China was comprehensively discussed. It is very difficult for old smokers to quit smoking, but persistence will bring many benefits to their health.
