Healthy Good Living ‘Can Add 14 Years To Our Lives’
New research has found that regular exercise, sensible drinking, eating fruit and vegetables and not smoking can add up to 14 years to your life.
The study, conducted by the University of Cambridge, examined 20,000 people over a decade in order to establish the cumulative effect of Fit Healthy living measures.
The results show that participants who failed to meet any of the health behaviours were four times more likely to die than those who succeeded, regardless of other factors such as social class and weight.The researchers therefore suggest that many people could significantly increase their lifespan through simple changes to their daily routine.
What we eat underpins our whole health. In the wealthy West, where food of all kinds is plentiful, we should therefore all be thriving. Instead, there's a correlation between populations adopting 'modern' Western diets, and an increase in heart disease and cancer. The endless supply of food that we enjoy is often denatured by over-processing. Meanwhile food manufacturers and retailers have multi-million pound marketing budgets to persuade us to eat cheap, high-fat and high-sugar snacks.
We need an ever greater level of education and willpower to navigate and understand the choices that our supermarkets offer us. Over the coming months, these pages will carry a range of perspectives on how, as individuals and as a society, we can re-learn how to eat well and get Fitness Healthy.
It’s very important to also to try and maintain a Fit Weight, so if we’re not able to follow and keep to a healthy diet, for one reason or another we may need to add some vitamins to our daily routine. It may also be necessary to change our lifestyle.
Why don’t we eat well? Dr Becky Lang and Dr Toni Steer look at what research tells us about the state of the nation's eating habits. They discover that it’s social factors, not ignorance, that lead many of us to make bad food choices.
