The word "longevity" has considerable charm for everyone, and in order to achieve their goal of longevity and health, many men have long started exercising and living a healthy life to achieve their goal of longevity. Today, I will introduce seven secrets to help men live a healthy and long life. Come and have a look!
Frontier science has gradually uncovered the code for human aging and longevity, which is the "telomere" that exists on chromosomes. Long telomeres lead to long lifespan, while short telomeres lead to short lifespan. Although it may take time to prolong life through genetic engineering or telomere activation technology, simple lifestyle changes can also protect or extend telomeres, thereby extending human lifespan. In an article published in the American journal Prevention, we teach you 7 things that can change the longevity gene:
Always stare at the scale.
If you find that the "swimming circle" on your stomach has widened by a second time, you are one step further from your goal of longevity. A study by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in North Carolina found that obesity can lead to chronic inflammation, leading to oxidative damage, and telomeres are very sensitive to oxidative damage. The longer the body is overweight or obese, the greater the oxidative damage the body suffers. Obesity can accelerate the aging process of the body.
Eat fish at least twice a week.
Protecting the heart and strengthening the brain are recognized benefits of eating fish. A study by Ohio State University on the effects of nutrition on human telomeres found that eating fish can also improve and protect telomeres. After four months of supplementing fish with omega-3 fatty acids, the human body can make the telomeres in blood cells longer. Fatty fish such as salmon and tuna contain the most omega-3 fatty acids, which can resist inflammation and oxidative damage, thereby protecting telomeres. Researchers recommend that the average adult eat fish at least twice a week.
