Rehabilitation and body mechanics specialist Vladimir Bondarenko stated that the quality of our lives and the secret to longevity depend on both mental and physical health.
According to the specialist, not only can life be extended, but life can also be made more active and enjoyable by following some helpful tips, including:
First: Take care of your mental health and seek optimism and happiness through family relationships, showing interest in family and friends, and pursuing work you love and your favorite hobbies.
Second: A healthy body depends on proper nutrition and a healthy daily routine.
For example, plant-based foods are more suitable for the digestive system of older adults due to a slight change in the acid-base balance in the stomach.
Third: Achieving a balance between sleep and wakefulness maintains health and helps the nervous system recover its function properly.
Fourth: Maintain a positive outlook and limit contact with negative people.
Fifth: Visit your doctor every six months, even if there is no apparent reason.
According to Valerie Breeder, head of the Department of Pharmacotherapy at the National Cancer Institute and a liver oncologist, the liver is the organ that determines a person's average life expectancy.
