British scientists called three everyday habits that are able to reduce the risk of age diseases and extend their lives. About it reports Daily Express.
First of all, scientists recommended not to abuse sugar. They found out that fruit flies are less and more prone to premature death from rich nutrition. High sugar consumption can cause age-related diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, a reduction in sugar content in the diet will help slow the aging, prevents metabolic disorders and improve the overall health.
Dr. David Sinclair advised to take 1000 milligrams of resveratrol antioxidant. It is contained, in particular, in red wine and some other products. It is considered a natural assistant to slow down the aging process, and also helps in fighting cancer, obesity, heart disease and diabetes.
In addition, scientists recommended taking vitamin D, since its level of content in the body is inversely proportional to the risk of death. It prolongs life and reduces the risk of age disease. The body produces it when direct sunlight on the skin. However, in the period from October to March, people do not receive it in sufficient quantities, so it needs to be taken in the form of tablets.
Previously, scientists of the Sydney University demonstrated that the diet could be a more effective means of preventing diabetes, stroke and heart diseases than medications. They found that the largest impact on the liver was the balance of trace elements and calorie. At the same time, the consumption of protein and high calorie strongly influenced not only for metabolic pathways, but also for fundamental processes that control the functioning of cells. At a high level of protein intake, oxidative stress developed when a large number of active oxygen forms are produced, damaging cell membranes, proteins and DNA.
