The Dhaka Times Desk Most people in the world want to live longer. But it is not enough to get long life, it is very important to live healthy for a long time.
Healthy eating habits, daily exercise and stress relief also increase life expectancy. Apart from this there are some other healthy habits through which one can easily maintain good health.
A recent study has revealed that eating certain foods can reduce life expectancy further. These foods should be avoided to live healthy.
Better to avoid packaged food
Eating burgers, pizzas or cooked meat sold in packets is not very harmful. But if they are played regularly, they are harmful. Statistics show that the risk of any type of cancer can increase by at least 12 percent among those who eat such foods or 'processed foods' regularly. The risk of breast cancer may increase by up to 11 percent.
Avoid excess sugar
Sugar has no nutritional value. But sugar is absolutely packed with calories. This calorie without nutritional value is the cause of various diseases. From cancer to diabetes or kidney failure, many complex diseases can occur due to excess sugar consumption. Due to which life expectancy can decrease.
Discard excess fritters
Everything from chips to over-oiled fried foods sold in the open has huge amounts of calories. They increase cholesterol levels further. Which increases the risk of various complex diseases.
Control body weight
Body weight should not be allowed to increase. If weight is too high compared to height, the risk of death increases by 29 percent compared to healthy people. Researchers found this information by reviewing more than 100 studies published in 2013 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Apart from this, weight gain also increases the risk of heart disease and type-2 diabetes.
Quit smoking
A study by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that those who smoke regularly can reduce their life expectancy by at least 10 years. In order to live long in a healthy way, you have to give up the habit of smoking - this is what expert doctors have suggested.
Avoid alcoholic beverages
A number of studies published in the Lancet have found that those who drink 14 pegs a week can have up to 6 months less life expectancy. For those who drank 14 to 25 pegs a week, life expectancy could be shortened by at least one to two years. In particular, those who drink more than 25 pegs a week can lose up to 5 years of life expectancy. The concerned scientists have reached this conclusion by conducting a survey on about 6 lakh people.
Stay close to green nature
A study shows that taking a short walk in the green nature improves the mood. By this it is possible to live longer without disease. Proximity to nature can be very helpful in treating depression and schizophrenia. A study by the Imperial College of London has said that if you eat 800 grams of various fruits and vegetables every day, the chances of living longer also increase. However, 800 grams of fruits and vegetables should be divided into 10 times a day instead of eating at once. For that, experts say to eat 80 grams of different types of fruits and vegetables every time. The claim of the researchers is that there is no doubt that about 80 million people in the world will be saved from premature death every year if they develop eating habits like this. So live your life according to the above rules, then you can live a healthy life.
