A long term Harvard Study Reveals 5 Daily Habits that Can Add 12 to 14 Years to Your Life — and Cut Your Risk of Alzheimer’s in Half.

A 34-year Harvard University study of over 123,000 people found adopting 5 simple habits can dramatically increase your lifespan by as much as an extra 14 years for women and 12 years for men.

And it gets better: the research shows that adopting 4 out of 5 of those habits will also decrease your risk of developing Alzheimer’s by 60 percent compared to people who follow none or one.

And here’s the best part: All 5 factors are within our control.

Here are the 5 habits for living a longer life:

1. Don’t smoke. Or vape. Or chew. Or dip.
2. Drink in moderation. No more than one glass of wine for women, two for men. 
3. Exercise regularly. On average, 30 minutes per day.
4. Eat healthy. Think a “Mediterranean” diet: Plenty of vegetables, poultry and fish for protein, grains and nuts… with a limited amount of red meat and fried food.
5. Maintain a healthy bodyweight. Generally speaking, a BMI that falls between 18.5 and 25.

The list for avoiding Alzheimer’s and dementia is similar:

1. Don’t smoke.
2. Drink in moderation.
3. Exercise for at least 150 minutes a week.
4. Consume a “brain supporting diet” (pretty much a “Mediterranean” diet).
5. Engage in late-life cognitive activities.
