If you want to live a long, healthy, and active life, you need to know four simple secrets, as Deputy Head of the Moscow Department of Labor and Social Protection Vladimir Filippov shared in an interview with News.ru.
According to him, Russians should not neglect physical activity. In old age, sports should bring pleasure. To make physical activity enjoyable, one should engage in activities that they truly enjoy. For example, one can explore Eastern practices or participate in gymnastics or Nordic walking.
Another secret of longevity is intellectual work. In Japan, where many people live to a ripe old age, they actively read and solve crossword puzzles. Such citizens, according to scientists, live 4 years longer.
Loneliness, lack of social contacts and communication, on the contrary, shorten life by 5-6 years, explained Filippov.
He also urged not to forget about disease prevention and timely visits to doctors.
