If you do not exercise, that risk rockets by hundredfold! And women who exercise live longer than those who don’t.
Keep an eye on your stress level: A certain amount of stress can help to keep us young, as a body under stress is stimulated to repair its If more efficiently, thus reducing age-related damage. Studies from around the world show that most people who live to more than 100 had hardworking lives with many crises. But, although stress can be positive, very high levels can lead to heart disease and mental health problems.

No one knows what these chemicals are doing to our bodies so the more we can do to flush them out, the better.
Have more sex: People who have sex at least three times a week look more than 10 years younger than the average adult who makes love twice a week. Sex triggers chemicals that delay aging. And loving couples also make more of an effort to keep themselves in good shape for their partners, which has a knock-on effect on their health.
