​"Want to prolong your life expectancy by more than a decade?"

In an article published today by Jacqueline Howard, she reviews a new study that suggests that you can "prolong your life expectancy by more than a decade just by following these five healthy habits: never smoke, maintain a healthy body-mass index, keep up moderate to vigorous exercise, don't drink too much alcohol, and eat a healthy diet."

"Adhering to those five lifestyle factors at age 50, compared with not adhering to any of them, was associated with 14 additional years of life expectancy among women and 12.2 additional years among men in the study, published in the journal Circulation on Monday."

"Each of those factors is significantly associated with a reduced risk of dying from the top two killers in the United States, cardiovascular disease and cancer, according to the study."

 So how many of the aforementioned 5 healthy habits do you follow?

"Food" for Thought & Action- "Too Much Sitting May Shrink the Part of Your Brain Tied to Memory."

​Here is an interesting article from Samantha Mathewson that links "sitting too much each day with memory problems in middle-age and older adults."

According to the new study, sedentary behavior is "linked to thinning of the medial temporal lobe, a brain region involved in the formation of new memories.".

"Brain thinning can be a precursor to cognitive decline and dementia in middle-age and older adults," the researchers added.


Further, the results suggest that while "sedentary behavior is a significant predictor of thinning of the medial temporal lobe, physical activity, even at high levels, is insufficient to offset the harmful effects of sitting for extended periods."

The researchers noted, however, that the study "did not prove that sitting led to thinner brain structures, but instead found an association between sitting for long periods of time and thinning structures."  Thus, further inquiry is necessary.


 So how long do you sit each day?
