Everyone is striving for a longer and a healthier life but that is something which cannot always go hand in hand.

Dynapenia is the medical term for the age-related loss of muscle strength human bodies experience as they get older. As muscle strength is lost it impacts negatively on mobility, sense of personal freedom and the ability to control our body. Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of muscle mass which leads to progressive loss of strength, function and mobility in humans as they age.   

Things you need to stop in order to help and get better with a longer healthy life.

1: Stop Smoking

If you’re a smoker, you know how hard quitting can be. But here’s some inspiration: the NIH says tobacco use remains the most preventable cause of death. Some estimates suggest smoking can rob you of a decade of life.

2: Stop Being Still

Brisk walking was one of the “moderate intensity” exercises cited in the study. You might have to make a conscious effort to work it into your daily routine, but 15 minutes of activity for an extra three years of life sounds like a longevity bargain.

3: Don’t cheat on your sleep

A good 7-8 hours of sleep is a must in order to lead a healthy life because no matter what you do or how much ever you’re working out, you won’t be able to recover without sleep.

4: Stop blaming your genes

Having parents, grandparents, or other family members live into their nineties and beyond might suggest that you will too, but don’t rely too heavily on that family history. Studies conducted on twins in Scandinavia suggest that genetics may be responsible for only about a third of your longevity potential.
