The habit is something very important, however simple it may seem, it is like a grain of corn: it alone has little value, but if you sow one every day, at the end of the year, you will have formed a large cornfield. And with habit, it’s very important; a great set of moments is formed, moments that can be worth a longer life. Many minutes of your life are kept with a good habit. Do you consciously minimize the formation of a good habit?
Thus, the habits you add to your life can add or subtract years from your existence. There are many things we can do not only to live happier in the present, but also in the future. Improving the quality of life does not mean moving to a small house in the countryside (even if it was a great option), or becoming a Tibetan monk. We can simply change certain habits for more advantageous habits.
- Basically.
- This has to do with how we deal with conflicts.
- How do we look for the bright side of everything (the typical phrase?See the glass half full?) And how we relate to others.
And also, with the charitable activities that we include in our agenda, because we can also have an agenda for beautiful and wonderful things, not just obligations, consider the following habits that will allow you to live longer and better.
1? Sex: Sex certainly adds more years to your life, according to several surveys. A recent study by queens University in Northern Ireland indicates that sex workers often live twice as long as those who have an “unsatisfactory” sex life. it can be due to several reasons, both physical, psychological or spiritual.
The truth is that all doctors know the health benefits attributed to sex, for example, good sexuality reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, reduces depression, moodiness and anxiety, eliminates stress and anxiety, fights many pains, strengthens the immune system and allows you to have younger, healthier skin and, compared to the emotional aspect , sex increases our self-esteem and makes us see the most beautiful life.
2? Singing: Have you noticed that when you’re happy, you sing? A University of Washington survey examined thousands of people; half sang and the other half didn’t. The first group felt much better emotionally. They were also the oldest, the least sick and the most stress-resistant. In addition, singing brings us many other benefits: it increases blood oxygenation, releases endorphins (which produce a sense of well-being and tranquility) and, for this you do not need to be a professional singer, certain melodies in the shower are enough.
3? Having a cat: No wonder the cat was sacred in ancient Egypt or used to care for the sick, researchers at the University of Minnesota in the United States claim that having a cat as a pet can help us live longer because this animal, by its very nature, reduces human stress and anxiety.
Cat owners are 30% less likely to have a heart attack than those with dogs at home. In fact, the typical purring of cats, which produces frequency waves of up to 150 vibrations per minute, is a soft and relaxing sound. He thought cats know where their owners have a disease, so they approach this point to help them heal.
4? Express anger: Building and accumulating bad thoughts and feelings is not good. It’s like inflating a balloon to the point where it explodes. Not expressing anger takes years off, says a report from Stockholm University in Sweden. People who have resentment and anger in them, have a serious risk of dying from a heart attack or other serious heart disease.
Anyone who decides, however, to express how they feel to their partners, family, colleagues, friends or even strangers, does they have a better quality of life and is they at peace?But watch out! Nor is it worth walking down the street like a moody and pendent person, just knowing how to channel anger and tell the right person what bothers you, always with respect and without raising your voice, this avoids many problems and conflicts.
5? Being married: A survey from the University of Louisville in the United States analyzed thousands of people about the mortality risks associated with marital status and found that single men are more than 30% likely to die before they marry. The percentage of women is slightly lower, 23%, so getting married could add at least ten more years to their lives.
One of the reasons is that when we have someone supporting us, we avoid the feeling of loneliness or helplessness, and we are more cared for and supported, at the same time having life and project partners is much more satisfying than having individual actions, from buying a house to having a child, going through a wedding or a vacation.
So make love, sing, adopt a cat as a pet, express your anger and get married. These are the five pillars that, well built, can make you live longer and better.
