How to maintain the health and intellect into old age

I absolutely know how to keep the heart. How to live a long time and still keep your intelligence (or rather to keep the cerebral cortex and subcortical structures that perform regulatory functions).

1. Give up such harmful habits as Smoking and alcohol, often and in small doses. Meat eating is possible, a maximum of 2-3 times a week. The consumption of vegetables, fruits, soybeans, pumpkins, grapes, melon, no restrictions, eat with pleasure. Sunflower seeds are also useful. As for milk and dairy products, also do not overeat. Chicken eggs will not bring harm, if you eat them one at a time, five times a week and preferably boiled. Oatmeal is a wonderful food. Try to eliminate refined sugar. If without the sweet you can't, replace the sugar with honey. It would be ideal one day a week is nothing to eat, only to drink water.

2. Try to instill positive habits and not acquire new bad habits.

3.Use sleep mode. Sleep as much as the body needs, in order to be cheerful. My opinion on sleep is. During sleep the brain different processes take place. More precisely, the limbic system regulates and adjusts the activities and functions of our organs and body systems. These restorative processes are also in the immune system. In the waking state, the correction process is not possible. Because of the brain and so much load from the senses. He needs to answer all the signals coming from the outside. On the contrary, in the period of sleep these signals are much smaller, allowing the brain and subcortical structures to carry out this complex process of korrelyatsii activities of organs and systems of the body.

4. Do not overeat. Try to leave the table with a sense of light starvation. Remember that after 10 to 12 minutes, the feeling of fullness you will have. Eat familiar and simple foods. Eat slowly, thoroughly chew. Do not expose products prolonged heat treatment, this will keep many of the beneficial nutrients. Don't eat on the go. Eating on the go is the most harmful habit. And remember one truth "Man eats to live, not live to eat".

5. Try not to engage in emotional debate, the benefits they will bring. Don't let anyone, under any circumstances, to use you, in any sense of the word. If you feel that someone impose its opinion on you, trying to psychologically suppress, try to get away. If this is not possible, try to mentally step back, think about something your.

6. As we all know, movement is life. Walk as much as possible on foot. If you will be held daily from 8 to 12 km, you will avoid many health problems. This will serve as your ticket to successful maturity and old age.

If you follow these simple rules, you can avoid such diseases as atherosclerosis, scleroderma, lupus erythematosus and periarteritis nodosa. Decreases the risk of malignant diseases. Memory and intelligence will continue until old age. Health is the most important thing a man can have. How people want to live this life, it is certainly his business. But if you have the opportunity to live your life qualitatively, not in a hospital bed so why not to take advantage of this opportunity. Everything is in your hands.
