Even though more and more women are adopting a healthy lifestyle, there are still many individuals who have not changed the habits that can become major concerns later in life. Here are a few common factors that can sabotage your longevity:
- Smoking
- Obesity
- Lack of exercise
- Poor stress management
- Lack of quality sleep
A recent study found that, out of 150,000+ individuals surveyed, only 3% actually maintain a healthy lifestyle. We live in a fast-paced society. Multi-tasking is the norm, and we tend to turn a blind eye to the messages our bodies are sending us. Lack of proper nutrition and exercise makes us more vulnerable to injury and disease – especially as we age.
The start of a new year is the perfect time to focus on longevity, and begin making small, incremental changes that will contribute to a long and healthy life!
