8 Healthy habits that help you live better longer [slideshow]
#1 Go nuts
You may have heard that eating nuts is healthy but did you know those tasty little treats can lengthen your years on the planet?
That’s right, according to one study, tracking the lifestyle of Seventh-Day Adventists, a group known for their longevity, people who ate nuts 5 days a week or more, lived on average 2.9 years longer than people who avoided nuts.
Why do nuts help you live longer — and healthier? Researchers believe nuts help prevent diseases like cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease because they tame the inflammation abomination.
Just 20 grams of nuts per day (roughly a handful) can:
- Cut your risk of coronary heart disease by nearly 30 percent.
- Cut your risk of cancer by 15 percent.
- Cut your risk of dying from respiratory disease by 50 percent.
- Cut your risk of dying from diabetes by 40 percent.
- Cut your risk of premature death by 22 percent.
