Abandoning the daily habit turned out to be the key to longevity

A long and healthy life mainly boils down to to simple habits. This includes proper nutrition and regular physical activity. However, nutritionist Dave Asprey gave some more tips that will help increase your life expectancy.

According to him, breakfast is not the most important meal of the day, as many people think. Moreover, in some cases it can even be skipped without any harm to health. “It turns out that if you have a late dinner, you can go 14 or even 16 hours without eating,” he said. The nutritionist explained that an extra hour or two without food helps the body recover and cleanse itself.

Also, Espry recommended moving more. It is best to spend 20 minutes a day on physical activity. If this time seems like a problem, it can be broken into two 10-minute sessions.

Daily exercise has been proven to benefit the heart. Scientists found that in people who followed an active lifestyle for eight years, the risk of premature death was reduced by 14%, and the overall life expectancy increased by three years.

In addition, it is important to get a good night's sleep. On average, seven to eight hours of sleep are enough for a person, but some can sleep a little longer or, conversely, less. “It's not about how long we sleep, but how well,” he concluded.
