Research shows that your chances of living to 90 could reduce your behaviors, not just genetics.

According to Dr. Thomas Perls, professor of medicine, one in 5,000 people is 100 or older.

Perls also created a life expectancy calculator. What exactly is this invention doing?

This calculator estimated the age you may live based on answers to questions like the frequency of your doctor’s visits, your sleep habits, and how often you work.

Read down below for more information about several tricks you can use to improve your healthy life.

5 Daily Practices Helping For Your Improvement

Perls said:

If you’re getting to 95, you’re usually doing that because of really good health behaviors.

  1. Get good sleep
  2. Manage your stress level
  3. Eat healthy food: customize your diet with more fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, and avoid red meat.
  4. Refrain from smoking
  5. Exercise frequently: Even for 10 minutes a day, do aerobic exercise three times a week and strength training twice a week.

Through another study, the adherents of a religious group known as Seventh day Adventists tended to live between the age of 86 and 90. The only common theme was that they followed the five behaviors listed above.

More Tips For Living A Healthy Life

Perls noticed that many people have doubts about living a long life. He met a lady, Celia, who was 102, but he never visited her because she was never around. Perls thought that Celia was out seeing her doctors, but the truth was that she was out playing piano at all appearances. That was the moment when he said:

the older you get, the healthier you’ve been.

Another exciting thing is that women win the longevity marathon. When researchers analyzed 200 people aged 110, they discovered that the ability to live a long life depends on having the right combination of rare genetic variants. As about 9 out of 10 are women.

These are the most valuable practices to start living your healthy life. If that was helpful, sit tight because more information is coming!
