4 most common causes!
Let's break down the top 4 most common causes of unhealthy ageing.
Lack of exercise
A paper from The Harvard Gazette found that an inactive lifestyle was associated with higher risks of all four types of heart disease, with a 50% greater risk of heart failure and heart-related death when you're stationary for 10 hours a day or more.
Unhealthy diet
A study from The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that participants with the highest consumption of ultra-processed foods had a 26% higher risk of all-cause mortality and a 58% increased risk of heart-related mortality compared to those with the lowest intake.
Poor sleep
The Sleep Research Society published a study showing that irregular sleep patterns were associated with a higher risk of premature death.
Chronic Stress
A combination of studies published in The BMJ found that even low levels of mental stress were associated with a higher risk of mortality from all causes, including heart-related diseases and cancer.
This isn't meant to scare you but to show you how quickly you can change your ageing process.
What should you do?
Create systems to help manage your stress levels, such as yoga, meditation, and time away from work.
Set a sleep schedule to get regular, good quality sleep at night.
Cut out processed foods from your diet, such as fast food.
Get plenty of exercise. Walking, working out, and sports, whatever gets you moving.
Add the correct supplementation to boost the effects of your healthy lifestyle and fight back against ageing.
