The Complete Guide To Achieving Superior Health

Good Health Powered By

Achieving superior health is not beyond your reach. You might not be aware but we are

almost all programmed to live long. But the quality of that ‘long’ depends greatly on how

we live, what we eat and drink. The promise of living more than a 100 years in good health

seems pretty appealing to me, especially that the ways to achieve it are not that

complicated.

bottoms up.

Wishing You Good Health

It turns out that the moderate drinkers have decreased risk of mortality compared to non-drinkers. So drink up. Providing of course

you feel like it and you are an adult as the study proved that among older adults moderate drinkers actually have a lower risk of mortality

compared to those who abstain from drinking altogether. Moderate consumption may mean having a glass of Merlot with dinner.

enjoy your coffee.


Recent studies suggest coffee can actually protect women against heart disease and other ailments. Other recent studies

show that even decaf can be beneficial to your liver and help protect you from diabetes. Women who drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day are 25% less likely to die from heart disease compared to

those who don’t drink coffee.

love chocolate.But not too much. It turns out that only those who eat moderate

amount of chocolate live longer compared to those who eat it more than three times a week and those who do not eat

chocolate at all.


love garlic.


Garlic might not be as delicious as chocolate is but it surely has some superpowers. Garlic and the vegetable family it comes

from has been known for many health benefits. It lowers blood pressure and improves circulation. It also boosts your immune

system while helping to regulate blood-sugar levels at the same time. So load up on it to live longer!

love your mum.


It turns out that people who have close relationships with their mum have a dramatically smaller risk of disease by midlife. It turns out that 91% of people who weren’t close to their mum

developed a serious disease by midlife compared to 45% of those who had a close relationship with their mum.

don’t start school to early.


The recent study shows that starting school too early can lead to increased risk of mortality. It turns out that starting formal

schooling before the age of six is a risk factor, so school (at least formal education) can wait a bit.

develop a strong handshake.


It may sound weird but grip strength is a suggested indicator of longer life. People with greater physical capabilities are likely to

live longer. In one group of studies actually, those with a weak handshake were between 2 and 3 times more likely to die during

the period of study.

move to the country.


If you want to live longer it’s best to leave the concrete jungle. According to the Office for National Statistics (UK), people who

live in rural areas typically live longer than people who live in cities. In Somerset women’s average life expectancy is 84 years

while in Manchester it is only 76 years.

choose the right spouse.


Not only does companionship have links to a longer life over time but who you choose to marry also makes a difference. You

should wed wisely as longevity is an inherited phenotype across three generations. Choosing a spouse whose grandparents are still alive can help your children live longer. Plus a strong and

healthy relationship is linked with general longevity.

own a pet.


Pets heal the heart. It is a studied fact that survival rates for heart-attack victims are 12% higher for those who own a pet than for those who don’t. Owning a pet decreases loneliness,

limits depression, encourages laughter and prompts exercise.

be optimistic.


It pays off to be positive and think happy thoughts. People with a positive outlook are usually less stressed and more capable to deal with life’s

challenges. That positive outlook is also linked with decreased mortality risk. Optimistic people live about 12 years longer than the pessimists.

go to the dentist.


Do not only go to visit your dentist regularly, but listen to his words! Floss everyday and brush your teeth regularly as poor dental care has been linked to many serious illnesses later in

life, including heart disease. Bacteria that live in the mouth can cause a person’s arteries to swell and can lead to greater risk of

heart disease.

meditate more.


Did you know that 15 minutes of mindful meditation can produce a much more relaxed state of mind that one hour of deep sleep?

So free your mind with meditation – a powerful healing tool for stress, which can lead to increased risk of disease later in life.

have more plants.


Plants are well known for removing air pollutants which are responsible for more than 1,6 million heaths each year. It is well

known that certain indoor plants can significantly improve the quality of indoor air. Best plants to do the job are English Ivy,

Asparagus Fern and Purple Waffle Plant.

get up every hour.


Do not sit too much! Sitting can actually kill you. The average person should take roughly 10000 steps a day. Taking fewer is

increasing your risk of heart disease and other ailments. People who sit for 4 hours a day outside of work have a 50% greater risk

of dying than those who sit less than 2 hours a day.

take it easy.


Chill out and just relax. Letting stress go is one good way to live a longer and healthier life. Anger is typically linked to high blood

pressure and can cause increased risk of certain ailments. Actually men with the highest level of anger in response to stress

are three times more likely to develop a premature heart disease.
