‘What will happen to my child without me’, once in a while this thought comes in everyone’s mind. Maybe it’ll come, the moment you become a parent or after 20 years of parenting. The moment you became a parent you start thinking about your child first. Every one of us wants to live longer, but with the passing time, human lifespan is also decreasing. Earlier people used to live for 100-90 years, but now human lifespan is 55-70 years. This might be because of our changing lifestyle, eating habits, atmosphere, etc. But if you are one of those, who want to live as long as possible and wants to stick with your family for a longer period, then we have good news for you.  Here we are with some of the exciting ways which will turn your life a better place to live. So, don’t let old habits hold you back. Start building these simple yet weird habits for longer life.

Early To Bed, Early To Rise

Rightly said! According to Chinese doctors, every organ has its own time to fight viruses. The immune system fights viruses and removes toxins from the body from 9 PM to 11 PM. The lungs get cleared from 3 AM to 5 AM and the liver restores actively from 11  PM to 1 AM. Doctors recommend sleeping from 10 PM to 6 AM for best results.

Go Out In The Sun

Sunlight not only provides us vitamin D but also helps your body to fight depression. It also decreases the risk of diabetes. 

Eat More Tomatoes

After 11 years of the survey, scientists found that eating a tomato every day, reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease by 26 percent. It’s all because of an antioxidant contained in tomatoes called lycopene- thing that gives tomatoes their red colour. 

Take Shower Less

If you are one of those people who like to take shower often, you need to stop doing that right now. According to professionals, a combination of soap and hot water deprives our skin of its protective layer of oil. After some years, this layer becomes dry and fails to protect the body. 

Similarly, dentists say brushing teeth too often and using mouthwash can harm the enamel. So avoid brushing your teeth too often and especially right after having a meal.

Say No To Smoking

We all know that smoking and even inhaling cigarette smoke is bad for our health. But do you know, even touching a cigarette is also dangerous? According to a study, when growing tobacco, it absorbs radioactive elements used in agriculture. And these elements stay inside the plant even after drying the leaves and at the time of making cigarette also.
