![]() Despite medical advancements an emphasis on health and wellness, Americans have a shorter average life expectancy than almost all other high-income countries. In fact, the U.S. ranked 31st in the world for life expectancy beginning in 2015. Thankfully for us, this has more to do with poor habits than it does with environmental factors or medical advancements—adhering to healthy lifestyle can boost the quality and length of your life by a decade or more. A study from Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, which was over 30 years in the making, has managed to narrow down the top five habits and priorities you should work into your everyday life. And, they mirror this guidance Chiropractors have been providing for more than 125 years. I encourage you to ‘dare to be different’ and adopt these 5 common sense habits that will keep you living life on your terms longer: •Focus on eating whole foods like fresh fruits and veggies; avoid processed foods. •Move your body everyday; no time for a full workout today? Evening walks can be just as effective. •Strive to maintain a comfortable, healthy body weight. •Drink in moderation (if you drink); no more than 1 glass per day for women or 2 for men. •Avoid smoking and tobacco If you or a loved one would like to live a long, healthy life, talk to Dr. Dukes. She can advise you on the best habits and means of living longer naturally – without addictive drugs nor invasive surgeries.
