Do not smoke. Avoid junk food. Continue to monitor waist circumference. And walking.
Perhaps we've heard the advice over the thousands of times. But, do you know if we actually run four, we can reduce the chance of chronic disease affected most by 80%?
The fact was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine who has studied the health, lifestyle, and diet of 23 513 adults in Germany, ranging in age from 35 to 65 years. The researchers found the volunteers who run a healthy lifestyle, tend to be less affected by diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
The study also includes detailed analysis from height and weight, medical history, frequency of meals, and how the volunteers to follow these four healthy lifestyle in this study lasted 8 years. Believe it or not, all four healthy lifestyle that is the advice that we often hear are: No smoking, exercising at least 3.5 hours a week, keeping their BMI below 30, following a diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole wheat bread, and limit intake of meat. Most of the volunteers underwent a lifestyle, only 9% of those who follow the lifestyle of the requested four.
After adjusting by risk factors that may affect the progression of the disease, the researchers found that volunteers who followed all the healthy habits can lower their risk of developing chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, up to 78% rather than volunteers who reported not living a healthy lifestyle at all.
In particular, if all four healthy lifestyle is done can reduce the risk of diabetes by 93%, 81% of heart attack, stroke 50%, and cancer by 36%. The researchers said it is important to adopt and teach healthy habits as early as possible.
You want to be healthy and avoid the deadly disease? Avoid smoking (if you're a smoker, quit immediately), always keep a healthy weight with a BMI under 30, be physically active at least 3.5 hours a week, and run a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and less red meat, Earl S. suggestions Ford, MPH, one of the researchers.
