How to extend the shelf life of your body We live in the era of disposable things - razors, dishes, paper scarves, lighters. But you have one body, and everyone wants it to serve as long as possible.. The main thing here, as in the case of the machine, timely service. Here is your body manual.

Teeth Clean not only with a brush, but also with dental floss, and even give up smoking (you saw these scary pictures on cigarette packs, didn't you?). Another line of defense that should protect your smile is carrots, pears and apples.. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, those who eat a lot of fiber-rich food have a lower risk of gum disease.. “One of the reasons is that these foods contain a lot of vitamins and minerals,” says Elizabeth Kay, Ph.D., from the Department of Dentistry at Boston University..

Eyes Remember: all the listed parts of the body will become healthier if you give up cigarettes. And eyes too! Smoking doubles the risk of age-related macular degeneration — retinal damage resulting in blindness.. Lie on the fish, and on the one that lives in cold waters, it has more omega-3 fatty acids. Eat herring and sardines, so you can help your retina to do its job as long as possible - convert electromagnetic radiation into nerve impulses. Omega-3 also prevents changes in blood vessels that lead to diabetes..

Ears Avoid loud music - it was not by chance that AC / DC had to look for a replacement for the stunted vocalist this year.. If you often stay close to the source of noise, you will notice hearing impairment with age.. The roar of the lawnmower engine, the cries of the hot-tempered boss ... Do you want an antidote? Open a bottle of red wine - according to a study published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging, rodents who received a large dose of resveratrol (a powerful antioxidant contained in red wine) started hearing problems at a much later age..

Heart Do you snore? This information you can always check with your wife or girlfriend. Apnea, respiratory arrest in sleep (accompanied by loud snoring and intermittent breathing), reduces the flow of oxygen into the blood. "And this, in turn, can lead to degradation of the atrium and pulmonary veins," says cardiologist James Beckerman, author of the book Start with the Heart.. If you suspect you have apnea, buy a device for treatment that creates positive pressure in the airways during sleep.. There is another way to fight against respiratory failure - to lose weight..

Liver. Go home from the bar before your friends split in your eyes.. “In general, more than two drinks at a time — and the liver cells are failing,” warns Michael Roysen, who specializes in patients with liver problems at the Cleveland Hospital.. He also advises to include in his diet of coffee and garlic - they help the cells of the body to recover.

Light Want to breathe easier - eat more garlic! A study in China showed that lung cancer risk is 44% lower in people who ate raw garlic at least twice a week than people who did not eat garlic at all.. What's the secret? When you nibble a lobule, allicin, a chemical compound with a bactericidal and fungicidal effect, starts to stand out from its damaged cells..

Back It is important to strengthen the muscles of the back - because they support the spine. To maintain good posture, do thrust exercises (which also involve your core). "Squatting, deadlift and deadlift on straight legs involve the back muscles due to the full range of motion," explains Kevin Vincent, a professor at the University of Florida.. Also do the exercise “Superman”: lay on your stomach, lift your arms and legs stretched out in front of the floor, stay in that position as you can.

Skin Do you use sunscreen if you are going to spend time in the sun? Bear in mind: you should apply the cream overnight - it must contain L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C). After 30 years, the skin becomes thinner as collagen (a protein that provides it with elasticity) begins to deplete.. That's when wrinkles appear. Vitamin C can slow down this process and even start it in the opposite direction (however, do not hope for eternal youth anyway).

Penis Believe me, you will manage without tablets for potency - rich berries and citrus fruits can replace them with flavonoids. Flavonoids help vessels become more flexible, which will undoubtedly strengthen your already inflexible erection and help keep it to the very end.. Well, if you add physical exercises to the above-described products, be calm: the glory of the sex giant is guaranteed to you.

ten. Blood vessels Nutrient-rich blood flows in your body through the blood vessels (their total length is more than 96,000 km). Interval training helps to keep this gigantic system in working order.. “Such exercises make the arteries expand and contract — this is very important for even blood flow,” says heart surgeon Mehmet Oz. Try to arrange yourself at least one interval workout per week..

eleven. Ankle Train your ankles on uneven surfaces - a great way to strengthen them.. When your legs feel uneven, and your body tries to maintain balance, much of the work is done by the ankle.. To enhance this effect, choose shoes with thin soles for workouts or go barefoot at all, Vincent recommends..

12. Knees Exercise your joints at least three times a week, insists Vincent. These mobile joints of the bones get nutrients during compression and relaxation, if you have a long break in training, the joints will get less lubrication. “Also, keep in mind: the joints become drier with age, the same exercise can be harmless for ligaments at 20 years old, but it will be much more traumatic when you hit 30,” says Vincent. You can play it safe - strong quadriceps muscles of the thigh will become those shock absorbers that absorb excess loads. So come on, crouch as you can.

13. Intestines Fermented foods (those obtained by fermentation) contain probiotics that inhabit your intestines with beneficial bacteria, however, as Michael Roizen says, it is not known in advance which of the cultures of probiotics are best for your body.. Therefore, it is better to try different ones: alternate sauerkraut, yogurt, Korean kimchi dish and probiotic food supplements.

14. Prostate In Japan, a study was conducted that showed that people who regularly drink coffee (especially black) have a reduced risk of prostate cancer.. There are other data: for the greatest effect you need to drink from four cups a day, the main thing is to know the measure.

15. Testosterone Exercise in the gym in the morning. According to the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, people who visit the gym in the early hours of the day have no decrease in testosterone levels in the afternoon, unlike those who did not practice early. Well, and you will get rid of the main enemy of testosterone - fat. “Thin men have higher levels of this hormone than obese ones,” Roizen encourages..
