Not long ago I had a friend say something along these lines, “I don’t smoke or drink – I won’t live longer, it will just seem that way!” This got me thinking. How do these factors combined affect health? I just so happened to read a great study in the Public Library of Science (PLoS) not long after about this exact topic.
A recent study published in the PLoS has highlighted four health factors that, when combined, can lead to a much longer life. There have been many studies highlighting the impact of smoking, exercise, alcohol consumption and an adequate intake of fruit and vegetables, but none that studied the synergistic effect of all four. These individual lifestyle factors have been well documented. The researchers wanted to see if small achievable lifestyle choices would make a measurable impact on health.
If you are a smoker, you have probably heard many people tell you to quit. If you are sedentary, you have probably heard that you should exercise. Most of us grew up with our mothers telling us to “eat our fruits and vegetables”. Others have been told by our doctors that moderate alcohol consumption, particularly red wine, can benefit our health. If you want to lead a healthier lifestyle, it is about the combined everyday actions that lead to good health, not just one focused action. This study brings us one step closer to understanding that the synergistic effect of our everyday actions can lead to a longer, healthier life.
The study examined 20,244 men and women from the U.K. living in the general community, aged 45–79 years old. They had no known cardiovascular disease or cancer at the baseline survey held in 1993–1997. Each participant was given one point against each of the four health factors, and assigned a score from zero to four. The health factors were: currently non-smoking, physically active, moderate alcohol intake (defined as 1–14 units a week) and plasma vitamin C >50 mmol/l. The plasma vitamin C levels indicate a fruit and vegetable intake of at least five servings a day. After an 11 year follow-up it was found that those with a score of four, compared to a score of zero, is equivalent to being 14 years younger in chronological age. Or to be clear – a person with a health score of 0 has the same risk of dying as a person with a health score of 4 who is 14 years older. Those with a score of four had a higher quality of life with those at a comparable age with a score of zero, and a significantly lower risk of death. This study shows that small, achievable lifestyle changes can have a marked effect on the length and quality of life of the general population.
If you are a non-smoker, non-drinker (or very low to moderate drinker), are active and eat your fruits and veggies – you are probably going to out-live your peers by many years, and live them well! And while the joke is true, you will live longer because you don’t smoke or drink; having a better quality of life will enable you to do things that your ( smoking, sedentary, drinking, “I don’t like vegetables”) peers won’t be able to do. Your youth and vitality will continue on for many more years (about 14 years in fact) and that is a lot of time to continue exploring the world and enjoying life!

Aging involves many factors, one of it being genetics with decide our rightful biological life spend. Other then this, the accumulation of toxic waste in the body, however, also exerts significant influence on the rate of aging. If wastes accumulate faster than the ability of the body to discard them, aging will be accelerated. Abusive factors such as overeating, poor diet, lack of sleep and rest, emotional stress, over or under-activity, digestive problems; are among the common factors that lead to accumulation of toxic waste in the body. Signs of cellular toxicity include fatigue, lethargy, problems in recuperating from stress, bad breath, poorly functioning bowels, skin eruptions, diminished resistance to disease, etc.
Young people indulge in unhealthy diet, overeating, engaging in toxic habits, ignoring the need for rest and sleep, etc., may think they are spared from repercussions because they continue to feel “good” despite the abuses. What they do not understand is that the damages they are doing to their body is cumulative, which often go unnoticed until they reach their late twenties, thirties, or older. Nevertheless the price to pay for our abuses can be a costly one.
Frequently clients tell me, “I wish I had learned about my biochemistry and how to apply Holistic Nutrition principles before my aging problems started”. My advice to them is always the same: Even though many of us tend to “get old too soon and be smart too late”, it is still better to be late than never.

对食物的摄取做出正确的选择，才能确保身体获得最佳的养分。在这个选择过程中，胃口不是一个安全的指南， 因长期的错误饮食习惯，胃口已被扭曲，它会诱导我们继续摄取削弱健康的负面食品，而不是提供活力的健康食品。社会饮食风俗也不是一个安全的指南，疾病和痛苦之所以会到处横行，不能说和错误的饮食风俗无关。

“Your body has a blueprint for health — a design to prevent disease and eliminate catastrophic illness. The secret to health is not to look for magic bullets, but rather to work with your body’s inherent design. Optimize the overall health of your body, and it will do what it was designed to do — repair itself.”

THURSDAY, Dec. 27 (HealthDay News)– High blood levels of the fats called triglycerides are associated with an increased risk of stroke, a new study finds.
“There’s a lot of evidence emerging that they have a strong effect on vascular ( blood vessel) risk as a whole,” said study senior author Dr. Bruce Ovbiagele, associate professor of neurology at the University of California, Los Angeles.
The study of more than 1,000 people treated for ischemic stroke — the kind that happens when a clot blocks a blood vessel of the brain — found that those with the highest levels of triglycerides were more than twice as likely to suffer such a stroke.
The findings are published in the Dec. 26 issue of Neurology.
Like cardiologists, neurologists concerned with the bad effects of blood fats have concentrated mostly on LDL cholesterol, the “bad” kind that forms artery-blocking clots, Ovbiagele said. The benefits of lowering LDL cholesterol levels, in terms of heart disease and stroke, are well known, he said.
“Our study would seem to indicate that triglycerides are more important than LDL cholesterol,” he said. “But they haven’t been studied in the way of reducing their levels and seeing if that reduces stroke risk. If we reduced triglycerides as aggressively as we reduce LDL cholesterol, we might have equally lower risk, but nobody knows.”
The role of LDL cholesterol and other blood fats in stroke has drawn increasing attention from a new breed of specialist, the vascular neurologist, said Dr. Cathy Sila, head of vascular neurology at the Cleveland Clinic.
The study of blood vessels in stroke is much more complex than in heart disease because of the great variety of vessels to be dealt with and the different kinds of stroke that can occur, Sila said.
“Almost all heart attacks are due to atherosclerosis,” she said, referring to artery blockage. “Only about half of ischemic strokes are related to atherosclerosis. And we have vessels as big as the carotid artery, which is the size of a pencil; intracranial arteries, the size of linguini; and vessels in the brain as big as the size of a human hair.”
The connecting factor in assessing the risk of ischemic stroke in many cases is not just blood levels of fat but the metabolic syndrome, a constellation that includes high blood fat levels, high blood pressure levels and obesity, Sila said.
Success in lowering cholesterol levels with statin drugs has meant “a lack of attention paid to other lipid fractions,” she said.
The reported association between triglyceride levels and stroke reinforces the standing recommendations for reducing known risk factors for vascular disease, both Sila and Ovbiagele said.
“We should focus on reducing LDL cholesterol as a primary goal but not ignore triglycerides,” Ovbiagele said. “We should also consider a trial to lower triglycerides to see if we can improve on the benefits we get from lowering LDL cholesterol.”
