4 Ways to Prevent Premature Death

We take life for granted sometimes and in the most tender moments of loosing our loved ones all too soon, sometimes we wonder what it would be like had we taken some precautions.

In my family, high cholesterol and high blood pressure go hand in hand. Partly genetic and partly environmental, our love of food has most likely contributed to our health. I mean who doesn't love a side of fries with cheese and pastrami slathered all over it? Or if you have ever had Filipino food, those dang Lumpia (Eggrolls) are decadent to the taste but silently deadly fatty oils penetrating and building in the heart.

This is why Omega 3s (don't know what they are, click here) was included in my tips.

Then there's the old exercise tip that everyone repetitiously hears from their doctor, TV, anyone and anybody who lives to work out. No one says it has to be amazingly hard HIIT, tabatta, or Cross-fit although these will certainly become your security guards to a healthy heart.

walking is simple, easy, and non-evasive for the most gentle way to get your body moving and increase your heart flow

Yoga was my top pick because there are so many forms of yoga and not just hot power yoga for all body types. If yoga isn't your thing, turns out walking is simple, easy, and non-evasive to the most gentle way to get your body moving and increase your heart flow. Click here regarding benefits of walking.

Working out leads to tiredness which leads me to my next tip. Sleeping. ZZZ. ZZZ. My favorite activity above all else. Unfortunately, sleep deprivation can be a silent deadly cleaner. Anything less than 6 hours or more than 8 hours is harmful. Don't believe me, click here. Let's call it the Goldilock Rule. Juuuuuuust Right. Keeping a daily cycle of sleep hygiene at 6-8 hours keeps the body and its hormones on a schedule. Changes can disrupt your sleep and affect your health overall.

sleep is key to good health

Lastly, because this was posted in an another post, hanging out with friends (Face to face) is super beneficial than even relationships with relative/blood. A study found that as people age, their lives were fulfilled with friends which contributed to longer health.

This is why I say hangout for coffee every week. There's social engagement, laughing which burns calories, and promotes relaxation (with good friends of course).

The old saying "Life is Too Short" can be true but it also can be true that living a happy, healthy life can be fulfilling. Check the infographic below and feel free to pinterest it!
