With the improvement of living standards, the life expectancy of Chinese residents has increased from 35 years to over 70 years, thanks to the progress of society and people's emphasis on health. In daily life, it can be found that some people tend to live longer and pay more attention to health and wellness. When we understand the factors that can affect lifespan, we can intervene from them.
01
1. Genetic inheritance
This is a congenital decision, and some families have longevity genes. There are several people in each generation who live longer, and this group of people mainly has longevity genes. If the body does not have longevity genes, from a genetic perspective, lifespan is relatively short. Of course, this is also an uncontrollable factor.

2. Living environment
It cannot be denied that compared to decades ago, there are air pollution, ocean pollution, and soil pollution in today's society. Although we have realized the need to protect the environment, pollution still occurs. If people live in polluted environments for a long time, it may also lead to a shorter lifespan; In ancient times, many long-lived elderly people lived in mountains or places close to nature, mainly because these places could provide sufficient oxygen for the body. In addition, the food and water they consumed were pure natural, pollution-free, and had sufficient negative oxygen ions to stimulate cell activity and delay aging. These people would live a long life; On the contrary, if the living environment is extremely harsh and some toxic substances are biologically enriched, they can enter the human body through the food chain. Long term intake by such people may lead to poisoning and even damage to their lifespan.

3. Diet
To survive, people need to consume nutrients from food every day, which means they need to eat grains and cereals. In modern language, it means they need protein, lipids, carbohydrates, inorganic salts, water, and so on; The original health state of the human body should be that the energy consumed is equal to the energy consumed, and the body can achieve a dynamic balance. However, due to irregular diet, overeating, high salt and high fat diet, eating spicy diet, etc., this balance will be broken, and gradually you will suffer from hypertension, diabetes, high blood fat, etc. caused by diet, which may further induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, stroke, myocardial infarction, kidney and other diseases. These diseases will continue to develop for a long time, constantly destroy the body, and may also slow down life.

4. Lifestyle habits
Being young and maintaining a happy mood can greatly improve one's lifespan; The correlation between lifespan and positive emotions; If we are in negative emotions for a long time, such as depression, irritability, etc., these can potentially affect our lifespan. Studies have shown that people who experience depression have a lifespan 10 years shorter than healthy individuals. Therefore, it is important to control and regulate negative emotions to keep them away from oneself.

reminder
We should maintain a healthy lifestyle, balanced nutrition, stay away from polluted living environments, actively strengthen exercise, maintain an optimistic and positive attitude towards life, stay away from chronic underlying diseases, and avoid some "common" characteristics of people with short lifespans, so that we can live a long life.
