Behavior Changes Reduce Mortality Risk Greatly!
Regardless of genetics, behavior modification can dramatically reduce illness and premature death.
Start by reducing your intake of processed foods, excess calories that don’t need consuming, high fat and high sugar foods, as well as restaurant food. Instead, consume organic produce (i.e. fruits and vegetables) raw and cooked, various lean proteins and whole grains the way nature developed them.
Next, increase your physical activity up to 5 days per week with a combination of progressive resistance training and cardiovascular movement; these modalities of physical training help avoid obesity which is the most important disease risk factor that you can control.
Absolutely don’t smoke and minimize all drug consumption (legal or otherwise) and drink alcohol in moderation or not at all.
In addition, learn to manage stress through mitigation of stressful situations or applied techniques learned through various programs.
Get adequate rest and sleep every night and drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Lastly, minimize or avoid reckless behavior… because accidents are rarely accidents.
All these behaviors are healthful and stand alone with great benefit, but when applied in combination, their effectiveness runs very deep.
