A life expectancy survey report by researchers at the University of Louisville in the United States, which describes an analysis of research data involving approximately 500 million people over the past 60 years. The results showed that single women live an average of 7 to 15 years less than married women, and single men live 8 to 17 years less than married men; single men have a 32% increased risk of death, and single women have a 23% higher risk of death; among people aged 30 to 39, the risk of death for singles is 128% that of married people. In addition to the fact that singles are more likely to have a shorter lifespan, if you want to live a healthy and long life, don't ignore some subtle changes in your body. Today we will take a look at: 1. Short index finger Women whose index fingers are shorter than their ring fingers have lower estrogen levels and are twice as likely to develop knee arthritis. Men may also have this problem. People with these characteristics should strengthen knee exercises: sit up straight, lift your legs parallel to the ground, hold for 10 seconds and then put them down, and repeat 10 times. 2. Tall If a woman is taller than 157.5cm, she may be lacking a genetic mutation that allows her to live to be a hundred years old. Therefore, taller people should develop healthy living habits, quit smoking, drink less alcohol, and eat less meat. 3. Long legs Women with leg lengths between 50.8 and 73.7 cm had higher levels of four liver enzymes. This type of people needs to control their drinking, and should not drink more than 142 ml of red wine or more than 341 ml of beer per day; they should wear masks and gloves when doing housework and avoid toxic chemicals. 4. Short arms Women with shorter arms are 50% more likely to develop cognitive impairment. This can be tested in the following way: Stand with your arms outstretched and parallel to the ground, and measure the length from the fingertips of your left hand to the fingertips of your right hand. The shortest length for an adult female should not be less than 152 cm. People with short arms should exercise their arms more often. They can also develop hobbies such as painting or pottery that can make their arms flexible. 5. Thick waist People who develop a big belly in their 40s are 3.6 times more likely to develop cognitive impairment after age 70. People of this type should pay attention to their diet, eat more foods containing monounsaturated fatty acids such as olives, nuts, dark chocolate, and exercise more. 6. Big breasts After taking into account factors such as diet, obesity, family history and smoking, it was found that women with large breasts have a 1.5 times higher risk of developing diabetes. The fatty tissue in women's breasts may be very sensitive to hormones and affect insulin resistance, thereby causing diabetes. This group of people can perform high-intensity interval training. 7. Small calves Women whose calf circumference is less than 33 cm are more likely to develop carotid artery plaques, increasing their risk of stroke. Thick calves indicate thick subcutaneous fat, which can absorb and store fatty acids in the blood, thereby reducing the risk of stroke. People with thin calves can drink more green tea to keep their heart healthy and reduce the risk of stroke. 8. Wrinkles on the earlobes If there are linear wrinkles on the earlobes, you are more likely to develop heart disease in the future. If one earlobe has a wrinkle, the risk of heart disease will increase by 33%; if there is a wrinkle on each earlobe, the risk will increase by 77%. Although the exact cause is still unknown, experts believe that earlobe wrinkles may be due to a lack of elastic fibers, which can also lead to hardening of the arteries. If you find wrinkles on your earlobes, you should pay attention to preventing heart disease, try to diet and lose weight, reduce cholesterol intake, and pay attention to lowering blood pressure. 9. Non-O blood type A large-scale study by Harvard Medical School in the United States showed that people with type A, B, and AB blood have a 44% higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer than those with type O blood. This may be because the genes that determine the above blood types themselves carry the risk of pancreatic cancer. These people can take vitamin D dietary supplements and eat more low-fat dairy products and salmon. 10. Poor sense of smell Some elderly people cannot distinguish the smell of fruits such as bananas and lemons, and their chances of developing Parkinson's disease within 4 years are 5 times higher. Researchers believe that the area of the brain responsible for olfaction is the first area to be attacked by Parkinson's disease, and signs of this may appear 2 to 7 years before symptoms occur. Such elderly people can take dietary supplements such as fish oil to enhance the brain's resistance. |
