Five Lifestyle Habits That May Accelerate Ageing, According to Doctor
# Five Habits That Speed Up Ageing Named By Doctor — Alcohol Not Included
A doctor has identified five habits that may accelerate the ageing process. Interestingly, alcohol was not mentioned as one of them.
The expert, Dr. London, stated that smoking is a major factor. "The first one is pretty obvious: smoking. Smoking negatively impacts pretty much every organ system in the body," Dr. London explained. He noted that even smoking at low levels can affect a person's longevity.
Another habit that Dr. London highlighted is a sedentary lifestyle. He said, "Even if you have a consistent exercise programme, if you go and sit for six or eight hours at work, this affects glucose metabolism and mitochondrial function. Our bodies are made to move."
Though many factors influence how we age, these habits stand out as significant. It's important to be aware of how our daily choices can impact our health over time.
