Be careful of six things that can reduce your lifespan

#health #cancer #lifestyle At any point of time experts are conducting research on a variety of subjects and the University of Sydney researchers have carried out a research over a six-year period on 230,000 people aged 45 and above to establish which factors affect one’s lifespan. This study reaffirms the importance of healthy lifestyles.
The study has identified six factors that can be blamed for a short lifespan. These are alcohol consumption, poor diet, inactivity, and smoking, spending more than seven hours a day sitting down and sleeping for more than nine hours. Anyone who has all these six bad habits is more than five times as likely to die during a six-year period as compared to one who is very clean-living.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 8 December 2015.

Previous research had identified important risk factors such as alcohol consumption, poor diet, inactivity and smoking which reduce lifespan. But, due to modern living styles, new factors have been identified that contribute to short lifespan. These are sedentary behavior - the amount of time spent sitting - and getting too much or too little sleep. In the opinion of researchers, unhealthy habits lead to nearly a third of deaths.
Researchers at the National Cancer Institute in Michigan have discovered that TV addicts (those who watch more than 3.5 hours of TV a day) are at risk of cancer and heart disease which are illnesses commonly associated with long term laziness. Moreover, they suffer from diabetes, influenza, pneumonia, Parkinson's and liver disease.
