I’m always on the lookout for simple strategies in the medical news that have been shown to increase my likelihood of living a long an healthy life.
So far my list of things to do include:
1. Drink alcohol a little.
2. Take vitamin D if you spend your days under a roof.
3. Use olive oil
4. Eat some walnuts in the morning.
5. Eat smaller portions of food, mostly plants
6. Walk for about a half hour a day.
Science has shown that doing these things may have a significant long term benefits to your health. Its a regimine that I follow. None of it is particulalry difficult or unpleasant. In fact its all pretty enjoyable. Today I found another enjoyable addition to this list. In fact, it’s one I already do. Sleep more than 7 hours a night. The new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association attributes the benefits to reduced stress hormones, and lowered blood pressure. Good Night!
