youth and longevity: 7 good habits after 50 years
Doctors advise in the "middle age" to acquire several habits of centenarians.
1. Make plans
People older than 50 years old, who have the habit of planning ahead all future business, live longer than those who live one day, a medical portal writes with reference to an American study. Scientists explain: the habit of making plans increases people's confidence in their ability to control life and thereby reduces their stress level.
2. Shopping
Researchers from Taiwan assure: shopping is very useful! It turns out that middle-aged and older people who make their own purchases increase their own chances of longevity by more than a quarter. The fact is that when visiting stores, a person moves more, trains memory and interacts with other people, so that his brain remains active and young for much longer.
3. Use the Internet
Elderly people who go to the Web every day in search of information or for communication have more active areas of the brain that are responsible for speech, reading, memory, visual characteristics and decision making. In other words, they had better protection against cognitive aging.
4. Have a permanent lesson
A person’s life expectancy is directly affected by a feeling of emotional satisfaction from self-realization. And such a feeling is given to a person by work or constant occupation - for example, a hobby.
5. Get a pet
Communication with pets provides people with psycho-emotional balance and gives a lot of positive emotions. In addition, caring for animals requires a certain organization and physical activity.
6. Eat Turmeric
Regular use of this spice in middle and old age helps to better maintain mental abilities. The main component of turmeric - the antioxidant curcumin - has anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties. Experiments show that retirees who ate curries twice a week did much more successfully with intellectual tasks than those who did not eat turmeric.
7. Drink water
Thanks to water, tissues remain elastic, bones are flexible, blood circulation is intense, and all organs, including the brain, function properly. Over the years, the body loses water, and with it, the skin begins to dry out and wrinkle, the hair falls out and breaks, the joints turn numb, the blood circulation worsens, and the mental processes slow down.
Of course, you can’t achieve eternal life with one drink of water, but water can certainly help to significantly improve the quality of life and shed youth.
