According to the specialist, not only can life be extended, but life can also be made more active and enjoyable by following some helpful tips, including:
First: Take care of your mental health and seek optimism and happiness through family relationships, showing interest in family and friends, and pursuing work you love and your favorite hobbies.
Second: A healthy body depends on proper nutrition and a healthy daily routine.
For example, plant-based foods are more suitable for the digestive system of older adults due to a slight change in the acid-base balance in the stomach.
Third: Achieving a balance between sleep and wakefulness maintains health and helps the nervous system recover its function properly.
Fourth: Maintain a positive outlook and limit contact with negative people.
Fifth: Visit your doctor every six months, even if there is no apparent reason.
According to Valerie Breeder, head of the Department of Pharmacotherapy at the National Cancer Institute and a liver oncologist, the liver is the organ that determines a person's average life expectancy.
