Is it worthwhile to cultivate healthy habits? According to a recent study, healthy practices may help people add years to their lives and avoid major illnesses like diabetes and cancer. After all, if you're going to earn an extra decade on this planet, you might as well make the most of it!
What was the focus of this study?
Researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health examined data from more than 73,000 women who were followed for 34 years in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and more than 38,000 males who were followed for 28 years in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS).
Even if participants just possessed one of these habits, they lived two years longer than those who did not. Women lived an extra 14 years and men lived an extra 12 years if they routinely practiced all five by the age of 50. That's more than a decade of additional life!
Are those extra years beneficial to your health?
Researchers sought to determine if those extra years were also healthy in this new study. In follow-up questionnaires, participants were asked if they had developed medical problems such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease (heart disease and strokes), or cancer. A study of medical data confirmed the answers.
According to the study, practicing at least four of the five healthy habits provided significant protection against developing any of these illnesses: on average, about a decade more of life free of these disorders.
What is the significance of this? Illness, hospitalizations, and even nursing home care are all linked to these chronic conditions.
