Famous American cardiologist Dr. Clyde Yancy spoke about seven steps you can take to expect a long and healthy life.. According to Dr. Yancey, following these rules will help you live to 90 and even 100 years..

Be active. A sedentary lifestyle takes you, on average, four years. The less you move, the higher your risk of heart disease and stroke. Physical activity significantly reduces the risk of cancer.

Know Your Cholesterol Level. Prevent fatty plaque from forming inside the arteries. Monitor your cholesterol regularly. The upper limit is 5.0, although many Russians have this level of 5.7. They shorten their life expectancy by several years..

Eat a healthy diet. This is one of the main rules of life - we are what we eat. On average, Russians consume 10-15% more calories per day than required.. We have a lot of fatty, processed foods in our diet..

Monitor your blood pressure. We calmly measure the temperature with a thermometer, but pressure testing is perceived by many as an exclusively hospital procedure. After 45 years, be sure to buy a blood pressure monitor and measure your blood pressure every day..

Maintain a healthy weight. About half of Russians are overweight or obese. It is one of the main risk factors for heart disease and strokes..

Life expectancy is reduced by 4 years on average.

Prevent or Control Diabetes. Acquired type 2 diabetes, which usually develops in people who are overweight.

Do not smoke. 18% of smokers will die of lung cancer, almost one in five. You think you will be in the \? But even there, heart and blood vessel diseases, aging of the skin, yellow teeth and much more await you.. The life expectancy of a smoker is reduced by 10 years on average.
