Harvard Scientists Reveal 5 Life Extending Hacks: Your Best Lifestyle for Longevity Wouldn't you like to know the real secret to a long and healthy life? Based on the latest longevity study, Harvard researchers found five easy life-extending hacks that could get you to age 93. In this article, I’ll share the very best lifestyle for longevity. What Does it Take to Get to Age 90? The human body is genetically programmed to make it to 90. As long as we don't screw it up, 90 is within reach for most people. If you can get a few simple, healthy lifestyle habits down, then the odds are that you will thwart a fatal cancer or heart condition. Indeed, if you can stave off heart disease and cancer then cruising past 90 should be a breeze. The Latest Longevity Study In search of life’s Holy Grail, Harvard researchers recently revealed five simple life-extending health hacks. These five hacks are all you need to know to find your best lifestyle for longevity. As part of this new study, Harvard researchers painstakingly dissected the medical records of 123,219 people. With an average of 34 years of medical records at their disposal, they were able to deconstruct the five secrets to a life free of heart problems, cancer, or a premature death. When it comes to beating heart disease, these five health hacks will slash your heart disease risk by 72%! If a 72% reduction of death from heart disease isn't compelling enough, these five hacks will also drop your cancer risk by 52%! As you will likely be free of heart disease and cancer, this study shows that for women you will get 14 bonus years of life allowing you to reach 93. For men, these same five health hacks predict 12 bonus years of life achieving an age of 88. 5 Life-Extending Hacks Without keeping you in suspense any longer, here are the five longevity hacks to find your best lifestyle for longevity. 1. Breathe Clean Air Okay, nothing new here. While this study specifically looked at smoking, countless other studies have linked any form of air pollution to heart disease, cancer, and a shortened life. The message is simple. Make clean breathing a must. In addition to not smoking, you also don't allow anyone to smoke around you. The same goes for electronic cigarettes. Besides smoking, air pollution can be a huge problem. Indeed, studies show that air pollution may rob you of up to 5.5 years of life! And when it comes to air pollution, indoor air quality is generally much worse than anything you may encounter outside of your home. For indoor air pollution, studies show that even breathing the stench of smoke on the clothes of smokers puts you at risk. What can you do? Besides banning cigarettes in your home, don't go anywhere near where people are smoking. If air pollution is bad, then don't exercise outside. For your home, invest in many indoor plants and be sure to also buy a HEPA filter. These filters are cheap and can be very effective at scrubbing the indoor air of pollutants. 2. Keep Your BMI Between 19 and 25 I'm guessing that if you are like most people, this will be the most challenging longevity hack. Food manufacturers have scientifically designed their fake foods to get you hooked, steal your money, and make you gain weight. Not quite sure what your body mass index (BMI) is? Here is the link to find out. If you are like most people, you are probably in shock as to how high your BMI is. The natural inclination is to say the BMI system is wrong, bogus, or a terrible measure of health. Yes, there are limitations. No system is perfect. For example, it doesn't account for excessive muscle mass. Thus, if you are faithfully doing hardcore strength training, your BMI measurement won't be accurate. Despite the limitations, BMI is a proven predictor of longevity within a population of people. And when it comes to living a long life, studies show that the BMI sweet spot seems to be 20 to 25.
