One of my favorite magazines to read and indulge in is Women’s Health. There are so many essentials, thoughts, and helpful hints to eating right and living a healthy lifestyle. I came across an article the other day containing countless intriguing facts so I thought I would share!
New Age Rules
You may have inherited your dad’s baby blues or your mom’s lithe legs, but your life span isn’t so predetermined. A new shows that life expectancy has much more to do with your lifestyle than with your parents’ longevity. Researchers tracked 855 subjects and found that being a nonsmoker, having low cholesterol and blood pressure, and exercising on a regular basis are what pushed people into their nineties and beyond.
Heart Check
Someday your doc might be able to suss out your future cardiac risk with a simple blood test. People who tested positive for high levels of a protein called troponin T were much more likely to eventually die of heart complications according to a study published in the journal of the American Medical Association. Soon, women as young as 30 will be able to get their troponin T checked.
Grapefruit Juice
Drinking grapefruit juice first thing in the morning curbs your appetite and keeps it in control for the rest of the day. The natural sugar is a great energy boost for early wakeup calls!
