Jakarta –
Longevity is the dream of many people. There are many ways to increase your chances of longevity, including changing your lifestyle and diet.
However, without realizing it, there are several characteristics that indicate a person is more likely to live long according to a number of studies.
The following are a series of characteristics, quoted by detik.com from various sources:
1. Have a Habit of Eating Vegetables
Women who ate the most vegetables and fruit had a 46 percent lower chance of dying over a five-year period than those who consumed the least, according to a University of Michigan study of 700 participants in their 70s.
The inhabitants of Okinawa, Japan, who have one of the highest ratios of centenarians in the world, (about 50 per 100,000 people, compared to just ten to 20 in the United States), are testament to the importance of vegetables.
2. Not Easy to Stress
Optimism and joy, according to a 2012 study of 243 volunteers in the journal Aging, play a role in longevity. “Being adaptable and flexible helps people avoid stress and anxiety, which can increase longevity,” says Rosanne Leipzig, MD, PhD, a professor of geriatrics and palliative medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City.
3. Intake of Omega 3
Older adults with the highest blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids lived two years longer on average than those with lower levels, a Harvard study has found.
4. Likes to Nap
Residents of Ikaria, Greece, a small island in the Mediterranean with a high population of centenarians, love napping, and it turns out to be good for their hearts. Harvard researchers studied more than 23,000 people over six years and found that those who regularly or regularly took a 30-minute nap were 37 percent less likely to die from heart disease than those who stayed awake all day.
