Hi there, I would like to know all the ways or what I can do that actually works when it comes to slowing down or stopping the aging process for human males in both the brain and the body. I am one of those people that want to stay as youthfull as possible and to live as long as I can so anything that works, I would greatly appreciate it as well as find it usefull.
 
Biology news on Phys.org
In 2008, a large UK study worked out how a combination of four healthy behaviours would affect your health. These were: not smoking; keeping active; moderating how much alcohol you drink; and eating five daily portions of fruit and vegetables.

People who did all four healthy behaviours gained an average of 14 years of life compared to people who didn’t do any of them.

I think it is a good idea to follow what you judge to be the best scientific advice. So for instance, current advice in the UK seems to focus on these top items, I may be wrong:-
Zero smoking, BMI in range, alcohol at recommended level, 5 to 10 fruits and vegetables daily, small meat intake, check blood pressure, exercise 150 minutes a week plus strength building. Obviously the list goes on and on.
 
Hi, thank you all for answering and I hope you all enjoy the holidays, ta ta

Oh, talking about holidays, don't be poor, pick good parents and stay out of the sun.

Shucks! I messed up all your suggestions. Restart and try again? "Mom, Dad, ...?" :cool:
