Try These Tiny Lifestyle Tweaks to Boost Longevity
Longevity: It’s the little things that count when it comes to living a longer, healthier life.
A new study published in The Lancet’s eClinicalMedicine journal suggests that getting even just a few more minutes of sleep and exercise, and eating an extra cup of vegetables every day, can significantly boost longevity and impact overall health.
In an analysis of data from the U.S., Sweden, Norway, and the UK, a team of international researchers found that small increases in daily physical activity—as little as an additional five-minute walk at a moderate pace—could potentially reduce mortality risk by as much as 10 percent, while adding a minimum of five minutes of sleep improvement per day can lead to a year of added lifespan, and an extra serving of vegetables can also contribute to longevity.
