10 Habits of Healthy People - How To Live Longer
Habits of people who do live a very long life and are also quite healthy so we're gonna take a look at them and see if you can break them down and implement them into your own life so that you can be healthier and hopefully live longer habit number one is that these people move around for at least thirty minutes a day. physical activity has all kinds of benefits from psychological to physiological to all kinds of even your friendships the quality of your friendships can increase just by moving around for 30 minutes a day because it increases the healthiness of the neurons in the brain. Habit number two is that they have a favorite sport now personally I'm not much of a sports guy but I do enjoy playing basketball with some friends and I think this helps a lot and moving around for 30 minutes a day in fact when I go out and play basketball with my friends I don't even realize 30 minutes has passed, it's usually an hour or two hours. wow, I did not realize I spent that much physical activity enjoying the time with my friends having number three is that they educate themselves about the food that they put in their body now this is something that a lot of people struggle with because there's a lot of myths and bad information on the internet. what you can do is sort through it so just read as much as you can and you'll kind of start to understand all right. You just have to continually educate yourself about the food about macronutrients about calories even technical stuff like how to build muscle on how to lose weight that stuff is super important and is a healthy habit. Number four is that they have a meal plan now this isn't something that I've really implemented in my life but I do kind of have a schedule. what it is is I have certain meals that I go through my day and I know these are healthy enough, they don't have any major carcinogens and if I eat them throughout this time of the day but I generally feel great afterward so having a meal plan or at least a meal schedule is something that a lot of healthy people have in their life habit. Number five is sex now I know a lot of people might actually get offended about this but loving intimate sex is what this means not a fling or a weekend thing it's just that loving intimate sex produces way more total beneficial hormones in your brain than a weekend fling does. If you do weekend flings one-night stands every week you can actually start to form addiction and the dopamine quality in your brain will start to reduce and that can actually become a negative habit that you'll have to get rid of later on so try to form loving intimate relationships and within those intimate relationships. I have found that people that are super healthy and live a long time have sex quite often anyways on to the next habit. Habit six to drink at least 2 liters of water a day now. I have carried around a two-liter bottle of water one day for some people it's going to be a ton of water especially if you're used to drinking pop or soda throughout the day. when I was little I drank a lot of tea so switching from tea to water was quite a challenge, but now for the past 6 months, I have not drink anything other than specifically water. Drinking tons of water is something that a lot of healthy people do. Habit number eight is that from two hours to eight hours of sunlight but I do know sunlight can cause skin cancer if you do not protect yourself from it well enough but your body will start to produce more nutrients from the sunlight like vitamin D. I think people can actually start to get depressed if the natural sunlight is taken away from them it's called sad or seasonal affective disorder so there are proven benefits of having sunlight have a number 8 is that they get at least 7 hours of quality sleep now there are all kinds of tips that I could name here to help you have quality sleep and that's what's important because you can have sleep. if the lights are on and there's a weird noise in the background you're not going to have quality sleep try to keep the light off don't have any caffeine for less than six hours before you go to sleep turn down most of the lights even on your phone there should be like a brightness thing that you can turn down. Another benefit is you'll probably live longer sleep has been correlated to health over many years in many studies and it's just I'm
not going to doubt that I'm going to get quality sleep.
I urge you to do the same have it number nine is that they meditate frequently meditation is not something that I normally did growing up but I have read many studies have had many testimonials of people, who have meditated that it actually improves the quality of their life from handling their emotions better to improve their sleep quality to even feeling more peaceful throughout the day just a couple minutes of meditation right after you wake up or right before you go to bed. I think it's called grey matter in your brain and I think technically don't quote me on this. I think technology can increase your IQ over time now that's not quoted so don't take that to the bank but anyways have a number ten is that they smile a lot of healthy people for some reason I don't know if it's correlation or causation but they smile a lot maybe they're healthy because they smile or maybe they smile a lot they are healthy I just know there's a correlation between this so I'm gonna put myself in a lot of situations where I can smile where I'm happy where I'm fulfilled and joyful and just motivated to do stuff throughout the day because there have been times in my life where I wasn't like that and I would choose the happier joyful motivated moments anytime anyways I'm gonna review these ten habits of healthy and long-living.
