Many people think that living a long life is related to genetics. Although genetics does play a role, other factors that you can control yourself, such as diet and lifestyle habits, are also important.
I want to share with you some habits that can help you live a long life.
1. Avoid overeating
Research has found that calorie intake is linked to longevity.
In animal experiments, reducing calorie intake by 10 to 50 percent was found to extend lifespan.
Reducing calorie intake can lower body weight, reduce belly fat, and help you live longer.
2. Eat more nuts
Nuts contain protein, fiber, antioxidants, and other beneficial compounds.
They are also rich in vitamins, minerals, copper, magnesium, potassium, folate, niacin, and vitamins B6 and E.
Nuts help protect against heart disease, high blood pressure, inflammation, diabetes, and excess belly fat.
Eating nuts three times a day can reduce the risk of premature death by 39 percent.
3. Eat turmeric
Turmeric contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds that help regulate brain, heart, and lung function, and protect against cancer.
