Based on research by scientists from all over the world, an interesting “calculator” has been developed that allows you to calculate how many years you will live.
Of course, it is not yet possible to determine this with precision down to the day.
However, there are a number of specific factors that influence people's life expectancy, which has been proven by many studies.
Habits, lifestyle
You can calculate how long you will live using such factors as your own habits, lifestyle, and heredity in the “calculator”.
The Zen channel “Happy Parents” told us how to do this.
It is proposed to take the age of 67 years for men and 77 years for women as the starting material.
You will live another 9 years if you do sports or exercise at least 3 hours a week.
BMI
If your body mass index is over 25, subtract three years.
By the way, this index is calculated as follows: weight in kilos divided by height in meters squared.
For example, if your height is 1 meter 75 centimeters, square it and round it to 3.06. Then divide your weight by this number.
So, with a height of 1.75 cm and a weight of 90 kg, the BMI will be 29.41. That is, it exceeds 25 - subtract 3 years.
It is worth clarifying: a BMI between 25 and 29.9 indicates overweight, and above 30 indicates obesity.
Smoking, alcohol, nutrition
Smokers take away 13 years, since cigarettes increase the risk of cancer, lung disease, heart problems, stroke, etc.
Those who eat five times a day according to the principle of “less, but more often” add three years.
Alcohol lovers take away half a year, but on the condition that they drink no more than 5 glasses of wine per week.
If there are 10 glasses, we remove two years, and if there are more than 18 glasses, we remove 4 years.
Diabetes, nuts, stress
Subtract 20 years if you have type 1 diabetes. Minus 10 years if you have type 2 diabetes.
Add 3 years if you eat nuts at least 4-5 times a week. Add 2 years if you eat at least 3 servings of fish a week.
Subtract 16 years if we are constantly under stress.
Family, children, work
Spouses: husbands add 1.7 years, wives subtract 1.4 years.
German scientists have found that men most often feel happy in marriage, but women in marriage shorten their life by 1.4 years.
Those who have children should add two years. Swedish scientists have discovered that parents live longer than their childless peers.
Minus 2.8 years for those who "burn out" at work. Stress is a direct path to obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and even some cancers.
Friends, TV, books
Plus 7 years – for those who have friends with whom they communicate constantly.
Plus 8 years - if a person has regular sex life. Scientists have proven that sex can lower blood pressure, as well as cholesterol levels, while improving blood circulation.
Minus 4.8 years – for those who watch TV six or more hours a day.
Plus two years for book lovers – provided you read at least 3-4 hours a week.
