Seven Life Habits To Help You Live Longer

Back in April 2012, Lester Breslow, died at the age of 97. He was a distinguished public health doctor who in 1965 published the results of a study of 6,928 adults in California. It showed that the length of life was dependent on seven life habits. The fewer an adult followed the shorter their life expectancy was. The seven life habits were: Moderate consumption of alcohol, no smoking, regular exercise, 7 - 8 hours of sleep per night, maintenance of a normal body weight (BMI 18-24) by eating moderately and regularly and regular consumption of breakfast. This is a good check list to look at and decide if the lifestyle you are following needs improving if you want to stand the best chance of living longer and maintaining a good quality of life in your older years. How many do you follow?
