New Study Finds 8 Habits That Can Add Up to 24 Years to Your Life
. AHA’s list overlaps with the eight habits from this study, both stating that eating better, not smoking, and sleeping well are keys to a healthier life. Life’s Essential Eight also says to manage weight, control cholesterol, manage blood sugar, and manage blood pressure. While some of these things are not habits, per se, Dr. Heffron says it’s all interlinked as diet and exercise have a role in blood pressure and cholesterol.
“I often point out to patients that there are studies that look at patients with very strong genetic predisposition to heart disease specifically, that show that even in that setting, healthy lifestyle behaviors can have a marked effect on their risk of heart disease,” Dr. Heffron says. “So lifestyle is important for everybody, and you can really influence the prognosis of anybody.”
