How to live long, healthy life in 2025?
1. Research from past 12 months discloses factors that can help people live long, healthy lives
Most people hope to live long, healthy lives in 2025, and recent research sheds light on the key factors that may help enhance longevity and health spans, as reported by Medical News Today.
The studies highlight three clear factors crucial to boosting lifespan: diet, exercise, and social life. Making healthier choices in these areas may be essential to achieving the long, fulfilling lives many aspire to.
Diet
Numerous studies have emphasized the importance of diet for overall health, and evidence linking healthy eating habits to increased longevity continues to grow. Many studies have highlighted the negative effects of red meat consumption, which has been associated with various chronic conditions such as colorectal and other cancers, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and dementia. A study published in BMJ Global Health in April 2024 suggested that replacing red meat, like beef, with forage fish could prevent between 500,000 and 750,000 deaths by 2050.
Exercise
Exercise is another essential habit for extending lifespan. A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in November 2024 found that if individuals over 40 walked as much as the most active members of their peers, they could add approximately five years to their life expectancy.
Active Social Life
Recent research has strengthened the link between loneliness and an increased risk of chronic diseases and early death. Taking the time to walk with a friend, share meals with family, and make an effort to stay connected with loved ones could be a simple yet effective change to improve well-being in 2025.
