Compliance with all the recommendations below will presumably help to reduce the time allotted to you in this world by as much as 74 years.


No, it's not a typo... studies have shown that drinking prolongs life.

1. The results of the study showed that optimists are more likely to lead a healthier lifestyle than people with a negative perception of life.

2. Smokers with experience live on average 14 years less than non-smokers.

3. The use of dental floss helps to get rid of bacteria that cause gum inflammation. This inflammation can cause complications on the heart and lead to the development of heart disease.

4. The dangers, stress and lack of sleep associated with the performance of official duties reduce the average life expectancy of police officers by 8 years.

5. Contrary to common sense, alcohol consumption contributes to a longer life. The reason may be the ability of alcohol to strengthen social ties, which play an extremely important role in maintaining mental and physical health.

6. Women live on average 10 years longer than men. This has genetic and environmental causes. Moreover, by their nature, men are more prone to rivalry and aggression. Such behavior increases the chances of death as a result of physical violence, accidents and risky actions.

7. Frequent sex helps relieve stress and improve sleep. They also stimulate the immune system and provide physical activity.

8. Married people are more likely to avoid risks and strive for a more stable lifestyle.

9. Being in a sitting position for more than 6 hours a day increases the risk of dying within the next 15 years by 40% compared to those who sit for no more than 3 hours.

10. Simple concerns related to the care of a cat or dog help relieve stress and reduce blood pressure. Pet owners are also less prone to depression.
