Five Easy, Natural Ways to Cheat Death

If you could avoid those diseases that take 80% of lives, well that would be great, wouldn’t it?

You could expect to live well beyond 100, healthy and happy!

Now, if the list of lifestyle changes needed to avoid these diseases was short and simple, that would be even better, right?

That’s why today, we’ll list 7 things that prevent the most common, deadliest diseases.

The list of things that people over 50 die of is surprisingly short. There’s over an 80% chance you’ll be taken by either heart attack, stroke, cancer, or chronic lower respiratory disease.

The good news is that what helps for one disease usually also helps for another.

So here are the 10 lifestyle changes that help you with all these diseases:

1) Avoid any kind of pollution. We all know the dangers of smoking and second hand smoke. Factory pollution is another thing that takes too many people (sometimes decades after exposure). But traffic pollution and chemical exposure from cleaning products at home can be just as bad for you. Nowadays you can get really effective organic cleaning products. And if you need to use something stronger, wear a mask and gloves – and air out afterwards. Pollution is the main reason why chronic lower respiratory disease has bypassed stroke as a leading cause of death.

2)Watch what you eat. Every reliable health advice includes one piece of advice: eat more fruits and vegetables. The average person consumes over 10 times the amount of meat they did 100 years ago. And today, this meat is loaded with hormones and chemicals. We don’t have to debate if humans are meant to eat meat or not. We all agree, though, that we’re at least also supposed to eat vegetables. Packaged foods are also made up with high quantity/low quality salt, preservatives and other chemicals. Eating healthy, home cooked meals will add years to your life.

3) Move, move, move. You don’t have to hit the gym every day. In fact, I’m not sure that the modern way of high intensity exercising is actually that healthy. If you choose high intensity, do 20-30 minutes per day maximum. In the places where people are proven to have the longest lives, they don’t workout. They walk, wherever they go. And then they work in their gardens. Walking is the only type of exercise that has actually been proven to add years to our lives. So the old advice; walk to work, take the steps etc. is still golden. Another aspect of moving is to choose group sports like doubles tennis or water gymnastics, where you play and associate with others.

4) Limit drugs whenever possible. Hard, illegal drugs are obvious. But prescription drugs always come with side effects. In fact, one leading cause of death is side effects of prescription medication. It’s just broken down in health reports to be hidden. After all, it’s doctors who write these reports. What quick fixes one thing, breaks another. Talk to your doctor; or if he/she is very medication happy, find an alternative doctor to guide you. Alcohol is another drug to limit. One glass of wine per day has been proven beneficial. But binge drinking leads to death.

5) Manage stress. This is probably the main cause of modern disease. This is because one source of stress leads to another. If we’re under a lot of emotional stress, for example, we tend to try to medicate it by eating more, or other unhealthy distractions. This can lead to physical stress (unhealthy food) or mental stress (worrying). Sensory stress is a sneaky thing. Studies have shown that people who live around traffic noise (even those used to it) tend to have much higher blood pressure than those in a quieter environment. Take a time, even if it’s only 15 minutes, every day to sit quietly and relax.

6) Keep good company. Repeated studies have revealed that the main difference between places where people live long or die young is the way they associate with each other. Where people greet each other and take the time to stop and talk, where anyone in trouble knows his neighbor will help (and is ready to help in the same situation), where the elderly get together every day to play chess or talk, that’s where people live to be over 100 on the average.

And the neat thing is that we don’t have to change others. Being helpful and charitable yourself is actually what makes the difference. People who participate in local charities live longer, happier, and healthier lives.

7) Avoid the #1 Cause of Death in the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), high blood pressure what takes most lives. Not just in the Western world, we’re talking worldwide. It leads to stroke, heart attack, cancers, kidney failure, and pretty much all other diseases.

To live longer, your number one goal should be get your blood pressure under control.
