Get a cat, avoid the main roads, and get married

Everyone knows that it is harmful to health, but now scientists have calculated how many years of life take away bad habits. If you want to live longer, then rewound cat. You need to calm down and think positively, stop eating crap, lose weight,

go to college, to make friends with lots of people and find a husband or wife who will make you happy. Do all of this, the scientists say, and you will live 30 years longer than those who did not.

On the other hand, if you divorce, you will live next to a busy highway, or dropped out of school at age 16, it can shorten your life by several years. Everyone knows that smokers and drinkers live on less - now scientists have found that they die 10 years earlier.

In a study conducted by researchers from the Canadian University in Hamilton, it involved more than 500 people over the age of 40 years.

Scientists were able to determine exactly how different factors affect the life expectancy of people.

So, it is extremely harmful to live next to the main highway - the researchers found that people living near major roads, die an average of 2, 5 years earlier than those who live far away from the roadway. The risk of premature death for those who live next to a large thoroughfare, 18% higher than the other. In this case, the same is applied to health damage as in cardiac diseases or diabetes. "The effect of aging associated with traffic pollution, only slightly lower than the effect associated with these chronic diseases," - the researchers note.

Another report, compiled by economists at the National University of Ireland, considering how many years of life may be lost because of belonging to a particular class or for a particular job. The difference can be huge. "People living in adverse conditions, often ill, are subject to more stress, more become disabled and die earlier than more affluent citizens", - says researcher Eamon O'Shea.

A similar study conducted in the UK showed that social status is the key to longevity. In England, the difference in life expectancy between the highest and lowest social strata is about 9 years old. If you were not born in a shirt, try less to worry about it - constant stress can also cost you a few years of life.

According to researchers from the University of Ohio, prolonged stress leads to the formation of excessive amounts of inflammatory cells associated with cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This can shorten the life of 3-4 years. Education, or rather, lack thereof may also serve as a factor for early mortality. American researchers have found that people who drop out of school, not studied up to high school, lose 9 3 years.

Presumably, due to the fact that early school drop-outs often lead unhealthy lifestyles. Smoking, especially after age 40, consuming an average of 10 years of life due to a number of diseases that can lead to premature death from lung cancer and ending with heart disease.

Obesity reduces life for 9 years, and the extra weight can cost 3 years of life. Obese smokers die 14 years earlier. At the same time people who manage to keep a positive outlook on aging, live much longer.

Researchers from Yale University found that older people with positive perceptions of aging lived 7, 5 years longer. This difference remained even when the researchers took into account age, sex, socioeconomic status, marital status and overall health.

On average, people with happy and positive nature of looking at life, live 9 years longer than the average. Especially if they have a lot of friends. For a single cat or goldfish - a good way out: owning a pet, you lengthen your life by several years.

Good companion harder to find than a nice puppy, but a happy marriage adds 5 years of life. Perhaps this is due to the fact that on Statistics married men put themselves at risk less than bachelors. And for them it is better looked after when they are ill.

The scientists also found that the chance of becoming centenarians are five times higher in people whose parents have lived for a long time. And if you want to give your child the best possible start, go to Andorra. In life, this country ranks first in the world, on average, it is 83 years.

In traditional Chinese medicine it has been used for centuries for medicinal purposes. Today, an extract from the leaves of ginkgo biloba - the most common herbal remedy for improving the brain functions. It is popular in Germany.
