Turns out the secret of youth that simple. No need to bother hormone therapy, high-dose vitamin or surgery. Men who want a long life is simple enough to do. Not only simple, but also fun for men.
Healthy life is one way to longevity. Easy to do: do not smoke, eat in moderation, exercising regularly, and regular health check.
The latest news about longevity for men to say that longevity is determined by the man himself. Robert Butler, MD, professor of geriatrics at Mount Sinai School of Medicine New York, said, "Only about 25 percent of genetic factors influencing longevity. The rest is shaped by ourselves. "
Butler opinion is based on a study of Danish Twins Registry. Famous study that began in 1854 and has received a lot of information and evidence about the genetic and lifestyle factors that influence health and aging.
1. Drinking Little Wine
A recent study found that drinking a little wine could reduce the risk of death from heart disease. "The key is to drink in moderation.
Maybe two drinks a day for men. My suggestion one drink a day because the older, the more severe the impact of alcohol on the body. A glass of wine is not only the effect of relaxation, but also increases the good cholesterol, "said Butler.
Alcoholic beverages are beneficial to health is a wine, particularly red wine. This kind of wine contains polyphenol compounds that are useful to prevent the buildup of fatty tissue in the arteries that lead to stroke or heart attack.
2. Do not Forget Vegetables and Fruits
"You should eat five to seven servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Fruits and vegetables contain not only vitamins but also many other compounds, "said Butler.
Alternative health guru Andrew Weil, MD, recommend that elderly men taking vitamin C, E, selenium, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, and ginger. However, Butler hesitate supplements can increase life expectancy.
"If you eat fruits and vegetables in a balanced diet, you probably do not need a lot of vitamin supplements," he said.
3. Stay Active Life
Butler is now 80 years old and still works 60 hours a week. Nevertheless, he is still enjoying life. "I am a workaholic, but also know to have fun. I often go on weekends for a vacation, "he said. He also strongly believe the benefits of brisk walking. "Brisk walking is the same effect with jogging. I could not jog because it can damage the knee, "he said.
Exercise also makes it remained brisk walking can socialize. This he said could extend the life of man. Not infrequently, he and his colleagues had breakfast together and discuss interesting topics after a morning walk.
Men who remained intellectually active also tend longevity. Intellectually active means to keep reading, following the news, and join in the social club.
4. Healthy Sex Life
"Actually, we have not been sufficiently researched sexuality, so they can not answer scientifically the effect of sex on longevity. However, we know that married men live longer. Probably has nothing to do with sex, but there was someone who cared about him when he was sick elderly, "said Butler.
Then the weight gain in the 70s and 80s for men are also not necessarily mean the end of the world. "Weight gain appears to be less significant for older men," Lawrence said Greenblatt, MD.
In fact, older men with normal body weight more predictable die than men with more weight. This may be due to the fact that the population of men with normal body weight also include those who were once overweight, but since the pain became emaciated. As a result, the life expectancy of the owner of normal weight included in a group of men were so thin because of illness.
