My grandfather is 81 years old, looks 60, and feels 55

What is Longevity? For some it is to look young, for others it is to look healthy and full of strength, energy for the day ahead. Longevity depends on several factors: proper nutrition, daily exercise, reducing stressful situations.

So, let's begin. My grandfather turned 81 years ago 8 months ago. And as he likes to say: "I'm 81, but I feel like I'm 55". And to myself, I notice that he looks young enough for his age.

We don't see him often, but nevertheless, I asked him to tell us a little about how he tries to keep himself in this shape. He said that he himself does not know, he simply adheres to a special daily routine and a few simple principles that have been followed with him in life for a long time.

1. Food

Not only your internal health, but also external health depends on the clear and well-coordinated work of your gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Also, scientists have found that 96% of all diseases are diseases due to disruption of the gastrointestinal tract.

There are many diets and diets for all occasions, but a nutritionist and nutritionist can find the right nutrition for you. The diet should not be just one meal, but like a whole way of life.

In part, he adheres to just such a theory and knew about it for a long time (people of age are really very wise). Only he doesn't use the word diet.

As he said, he tries to stick to simple rules, drink about 2 liters of water a day and not eat after 18:00. And yet, he almost completely gave up sugar and switched to honey.

Reducing sugar intake also helps to significantly reduce mucus production (reduces the formation of a runny nose and cough). (Scientific fact)

2. Sport

We all know that even minimal physical activity can help you get fit. The main thing here is not to give up!

No matter how much time you spend, dopamine hormones will be released during exercise, which will help not only increase self-esteem, but in general you will begin to enjoy yourself and the fact that you do.

Sport, also an integral part of his life, a long time ago, he was involved in athletics at a professional level, now he runs a little hard, but he likes to do exercises in the morning, and then go out and walk around, alternating a slow step with fast.

Yes, and during the day, there are many activities, but he advised me this:
"Rarely try to do something through force, as it will certainly affect your health in the future."

3. Stress

The main enemy of all people in the 21st century. Stress surrounds us everywhere: home, work, family, bad habits. There are several ways you can try to deal with stress: healthy sleep and silence.

Grandfather's stress is not often visited, and in general, he is a calm person, but if something like this happens, then he prefers not to panic and fill your head with this, and go to sleep a little or turn off all electrical appliances and just sit for about 20 minutes in silence.

He says that in general it helps a lot, but unfortunately I cannot judge.
