Take a nap at least 3 times a week
According to a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, napping can reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular disease. People who nap at least three times a week, for 20-30 minutes each time, have a 37% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease than those who do not nap.
Exercise at least 15 minutes every day
Research also shows that people who exercise at least 15 minutes a day live 3 years longer. On average, a person who spends about 30 minutes a day exercising lives 4 years longer than a person who does not exercise.
Sleep more than 6 hours a day
Many studies have shown that it is best to sleep 7 hours a day. People who sleep less than 6.5 hours a day are at risk of having a shorter life span. In particular, people who sleep less than 6 hours a day for a long time can cause the brain to age 4-7 years earlier.
Stand when reading books, watching TV
An Australian study found that every hour spent sitting reduces life expectancy by 21.8 minutes. According to experts, sitting for long periods without moving impairs body function and can lead to muscle spasms.
Therefore, when you read a book, read a newspaper, or watch TV, it is best to get out of your seat and stand for a while to improve your health.
