Long Life - Longevity Natural Remedies

 

 

Vegetarians Have Longer Life

In the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2009, an expert panel reported that vegetarians have lower incidence of chronic disease, less body fat and greater longevity. Also, rates of heart disease, some cancers and diabetes were significantly reduced.  A vegetarian diet is cheaper especially if you stay with simple unprocessed foods.  In the November, 2005 National Geographic, in an article on longevity, it was reported that members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church live longer than other Americans by up to 10 years. Seventh-day Adventists have a vegetarian diet with no smoking or drinking.

Live Somewhere Else for Long Life

The United States ranks 20th for average lifespan.  There are 20 countries you could live in and live longer.  Japan is in the number one spot.  Canada is number 11.  The rip is that we pay twice as much for healthcare in the US but have worse statistics.  We rank at or near the bottom in 6 categories of overall health (e.g. infant mortality, incidence of disease) compared to other industrialized countries as posted by the World Health Organization.

Sense of Humor for Longevity

A good laugh is a great way to increase your long life.  This is not quite a natural remedy, but it's a great way to help you to live a long life.  If you laugh about one to two hundred times, you have burned the caloric equivalent to jogging or rowing for ten minutes.  This is has been proven by Dr. William Fry, a cardiologist here in the United States.  Research has also proved that laughing lowers stress hormones and helps to increase the body's natural defense against cancer cells and dangerous antibodies.

Sleep Less for Long Life

While this may seem counterintuitive, getting too much sleep can actually hinder your life expectancy.  Instead, according to a study in the Archives of General Psychiatry, people that get about six to seven hours of sleep every night tend to live longer.  Those that sleep more than eight hours (and less than four) tend to have a higher death rate.  Instead, try to sleep less than eight hours every night and this is a great natural way to live longer.

Happy Marriage for Long Life

A happy marriage is a fantastic natural remedy for having a longer life.  This is true for both women and men.  However, studies have found that those that marry, then divorce and remarry can increase the risk of a premature death than those that don't.  This was found in the Health Psychology Journal.

Exercise Regularly

Women that exercise regularly and keep themselves physically fit tend to have a forty percent less chance of developing a coronary heart disease than women that don't.  This was discovered by Dr. Ken Cooper at the Cooper Institute of Aerobic Research here in the United States.  Dr. Cooper also found that bottom twenty percent of physically fit and active people tend to have a more premature death than those that are in the fittest percentage.

Good Sex Life

Couples that have an active and healthy sex life also tend to look (on average) seven years younger than those that don't.  This has been proven by a study conducted by Dr. David Weeks at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital.  Because sex is a proven stress reducer, this leads to better sleep and a better satisfaction in one's life.  This is a wonderful home remedy for a longer life.

Varied Diet

In the International Journal of Epidemiology, a 2002 study showed that those that have a varied diet with lots of variety have a longer life and lower mortality rate than those that don't.  This is a proven home remedy for experiencing a long and healthy life.  So picky eaters beware.

Running and Antioxidants for Longevity

Free radicals accelerate the aging process of our cells and cause lots of different degenerative diseases.  The most harmful of these is probably the hardening of the arteries, cancer and Alzheimer’s.  Exercising is good for everyone, but research conducted by the Archives of Internal Medicine has shown that running is most effective at slowing the aging process.  To reduce the amount of free radicals, you should also try to eat lots of antioxidant foods like blueberries.  You can also take antioxidant supplements like lipoic acid and quercetin.
