It is anticipated that genes are about 30% responsible for our overall health and how we age, while 70% is due to our lifestyle. Following recommendations from the experts, most of which focus on moderation, can help you to live a healthier life.
Eat a healthy diet. This means limiting your total fat consumption to 30% or less of total calories, eating lots of fruits and vegetables and not overeating.
Exercise regularly. Find an activity that you enjoy and do it at least 5 days per week. Exercising is helpful for cardiovascular health, weight control and bone health. Moreover it will help you to feel better by reducing stress.
Eliminate bad habits. If you smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol, limit yourself and slowly try to give up. Identify other bad habits in your life and develop a plan for eliminating them.
Relax and enjoy life. Life in the 21st century is very stressful and stress has been linked to a number of illnesses because it weakens our immune systems. If relaxing doesn't come easy to you, try an activity like yoga, tai chi or meditation.
