A positive and healthy lifestyle is important to living a healthy life. In this regard, the American health and nutrition information media ‘It Disnot That’ introduced the secret to increasing lifespan.

△ steady exercise

Regular exercise is the secret to longevity. Not only walking, but also running, cycling, swimming, etc. are good. However, walking for 30 minutes a day is a good reference point and goal when it is difficult for the general public to estimate how much exercise they need each day.

Exercise is not only beneficial for the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal system. Thanks to improving brain function and improving mood, the attitude of life changes positively.

△Nut snacks

According to a research team at Oxford University in the UK, eating walnuts regularly reduces the risk of death and increases lifespan. People who ate walnuts five or more days a week lived 1.3 years longer.

In addition to walnuts, almonds, pine nuts, and pistachios are also good. Nuts are high in calories, so it’s best not to exceed a handful a day.

△ Raising pets

Pets, such as dogs and cats, not only make life enjoyable, but also promote health. According to a research team at Mount Sinai Hospital in Canada, owning a dog reduces the risk of premature death by 24%. In particular, when the cause of death was narrowed down to cardiovascular disease, the risk was reduced by 31%.

Eating dark chocolate

You should eat a few pieces (around 30g) of dark chocolate with a cacao content of 70% or more once every few days. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, dark chocolate lowers blood pressure and prevents blood clots.

It strengthens the immune system and helps prevent diabetes. Improves brain function and relieves stress. However, even dark chocolate is a high-calorie food, so overeating is prohibited. If you have reflux esophagitis, you should eat it following finishing treatment.
