Lifestyle is closely related to people's health and diseases, which is "truth" for people diagnosed as "patients" by doctors and healthy people. There have been many studies at home and abroad on how lifestyle affects or changes people's health.
Studies have found that even for men who are taking antihypertensive and cholesterol-lowering drugs, a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce their risk of heart disease.
Starting from 1986, this study followed up 43,000 men aged 40-75 who had no chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, and conducted a questionnaire survey twice a year, and then found out the relationship between living habits and heart disease according to the long-term accumulated data.
The study found that if middle-aged men who are taking drugs have a reasonable diet, do not smoke, drink moderately, maintain a healthy weight and exercise regularly, their risk of heart disease will be reduced by 57%; For men who don't take medicine, a healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk of heart disease by 87%; Only smoking 1 can reduce the risk of 50%.
If a healthy lifestyle includes all five elements (reasonable diet, non-smoking, moderate drinking, maintaining a healthy weight and regular exercise), the risk index of male heart disease. At the same time, the study found that even if the respondents' previous lifestyles were unhealthy, the benefits of lifestyle changes were obvious.
A healthy lifestyle is irreplaceable by drugs. It's never too late to change your lifestyle. Even if you start a healthy lifestyle in middle age or old age, you can benefit from it.
