According to the World Health Organization, life expectancy in the U.S. is 76.9 years for men and 81.6 years for women.
In a Study involving 120,000 American adults, led by Meir Stamfer, co-author of the Study and Professor of Epidemiology & Nutrition at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, their study team identified 5 Habits that increased life expectancy by 12 years in men and 14 year in women.
5 Life Extension Habits
- Maintaining a Lean Weight – Lean, according to the Study, was having a Body Mass Index of between 18.5 – 25
- Daily Exercise – 30 Minutes a Day of a combination of aerobic and resistance exercise
- Moderate Consumption of Alcohol – Drinking no more than 1 glass of wine/beer a day or no more than one ounce of alcohol
- No Smoking
- Healthy Eating -Maintaining a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and consuming very little red meat, saturated fats and sugar
According to the Study, only 8% of Americans follow all five habits. Those who did, however, were 82% less likely to die of heart disease and 65% less likely to die of cancer.
