The two main foundations of longevity are prevention and early detection of diseases. With a healthy lifestyle, proper weight, appropriate cholesterol, glucose and blood pressure levels, etc., combined with regular testing for early detection of diseases, you will live longer and more fully.

Together with your doctor you can do an evaluation of your health and risk factors. Your doctor knows your medical history, possible chronic diseases, health problems, as well as your parents and siblings. He knows which diseases you are more susceptible to, due to genetics. He can advise you on healthy lifestyle and, if necessary, refer you to a specialist. Take your time choosing a good personal physician and have a strong long-term relationship with him.

This can make the difference between gaining and maintaining weight. You need to have several meals, breakfast is important. You must finish before evening, when you should only eat smaller meals. It is necessary to eat more vegetables and fruits. And fish as well. You must increase the intake of fiber on at least 25 grams per day. Every day, you can drink up to two glasses of alcohol, red wine being the best, since it is rich in flavonoids, which are beneficial to our health. Green tea is highly recommended as well, because it also contains a lot of flavonoids.
