Legends of immortality have been told and retold throughout history. From ancient Greek myths to modern movies and novels, the dream of eternal youth has been passed down from generation to generation.
While the Elixir of Youth remains a fantasy, advances in public health, science and medicine mean that the possibility of a longer life is a reality. However, unlike the legends, the secret of a long life isn't a magic potion - it's a healthier lifestyle.
Research suggests that genetics explains only 25% of lifespan variation, while lifestyle and environmental factors may account for the rest. While ageing is inevitable, making some lifestyle changes can help you stay fit as you grow older and may also help you live longer. Here are the healthy habits of those who live long and healthy lives.
Quitting smoking can extend your life by as much as ten years because smoking may damage almost any organ in your body. People who smoke have three times the mortality rate of non-smokers as it increases the risk of heart disease, heart attack, stroke, lung cancer, and other cancers. Luckily, it's never too late to give up. And the younger you give up this habit, the better. If you quit smoking before age 40, it lowers the risk of dying from a smoking-related condition by around 90%.
Bach Flowers Mix 58 can help you succeed in giving up smoking by reducing the craving for nicotine and supporting you to feel calmer, believe in yourself and persevere.
We know that being active is good for us. But as well as keeping you strong and fit, even small amounts of regular exercise can help you to live longer.
Exercise not only strengthens muscles and bones but also reduces the risk of age-related conditions such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease and some forms of cancer. Exercise can also slow the ageing process on a cellular level. While a sedentary lifestyle has been linked to a higher risk of premature death, just 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week could lengthen your lifespan by three years.
You don't necessarily have to join a gym - you could try swimming, dancing or cycling. Housework, gardening or a 30-minute walk every day all count as exercise and will be beneficial.
Drinking excessive alcohol increases the risk of liver disease, heart disease, raised blood pressure and some cancers, all conditions that can shorten your lifespan. Research has linked drinking 14 -25 drinks per week with shortening life expectancy by around two years, while drinking over 25 drinks per week could shorten life by 4 - 5 years.
But avoiding excessive alcohol intake minimises these risks. The recommended limits are to consume no more than 14 drinks a week and to avoid alcohol altogether on some days.
If you wish to change your drinking habits, Bach Flower Mix 62 can help you to resist the social pressures to drink alcohol, prevent hallucinations and avoid depression and irritability.
Some studies have shown that light drinking might even lower the risk of stroke or heart disease. But the benefits aren't clear, so there's no reason to start drinking alcohol if you don't at present.
Maintaining a healthy social network benefits not only your emotional health- it's also good for your physical wellbeing! People with robust supportive social networks have been shown to have a 50% greater chance of survival in any single year than those who are more isolated. Research has shown that the health risk of loneliness is the same as if you smoked 15 cigarettes daily and has a greater impact than being inactive or obese.
Strong, fulfilling relationships increase our happiness and general satisfaction. In addition, a supportive social network also reduces stress and boosts physical health. And helping and supporting others is good for you, so try to spend quality time with family and friends.
Stress is unavoidable, but severe and ongoing stress affects almost all the body's processes. It increases the risk of anxiety, depression, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, heart disease and inflammation, which are likely to shorten life.
While some stressful situations can't be avoided, there are many ways to help manage stress. For example, some people find meditation or yoga helpful, while others turn to exercise or keeping a journal to relieve stress and help them relax. Sometimes, a life change such as switching careers or leaving a bad relationship may be the solution.
The food you eat can have a significant impact on your health, including how long you are likely to live. A diet rich in vegetables, fruits, fibre, and whole grains, protects against the chronic diseases and inflammation that are linked to earlier deaths, such as cancers, heart disease and obesity.
Try to include a wide range of unprocessed foods in your meals. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and nuts while avoiding refined sugars. The Mediterranean diet, based on vegetables, fish, fruits, whole grains, legumes and olive oil, is believed to boost longevity and reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
Many studies have shown that not getting enough sleep increases the risk of severe conditions such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes, any or all of which can shorten your life.
But sleeping too much can also be bad for you as it is linked to a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. So try to keep to the same bedtime every night and get around 7 to 8 hours of sleep.
Living a longer life may seem out of your control, but adopting healthier habits and looking after yourself well may help you reach a ripe old age.
Quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, exercising, sleeping and eating well may seem simple, but these lifestyle changes can improve your health and set you on the road to a long and happy life.
