5 GREAT WAYS TO LIVE A LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE


How can women improve their chances of living a long and healthy life, preserve their quality of life and prevent chronic illnesses and ailments that pose a threat to them, like diabetes, cancer, heart disease, stroke, dementia, Alzheimer’s, etc.?

WOMEN LIVE LONGER THAN MEN!

This is true all around the world! Women live longer than men. For example, life expectancy at birth in Quebec in 2016 was 84.4 years for women and 80.5 years for men. And in Canada, 84 years for women and 79.9 years for men.

WHY?

Among other things, for BIOLOGICAL REASONS. According to scientific research, women benefit from their CHROMOSOMES and HORMONES. For example: In women, body fat accumulates under the skin rather than around organs in the abdomen, such as is the case for men. This helps reduce the risk of heart disease for women, at least before menopause.

But also because of their BEHAVIOUR. Generally speaking, women have LESS RISKY behaviour than men and commit suicide less.

And because they ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH THEIR HEALTH than men are. Several studies have shown that women are especially ON THE LOOKOUT FOR INFORMATION ABOUT HEALTH.

WHAT ABOUT LIFE EXPECTANCY WHEN HEALTHY?

However, the World Health Organization shows that healthy life expectancy is, on average, about 10 YEARS LESS THAN THE OVERALL LIFE EXPECTANCY. This perspective seems much less encouraging than the first one.

Therefore, even though women live longer than men, they suffer from CHRONIC DISEASES more often than men do.

Hence the importance of adopting a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE that can help reduce your risk of having these diseases and allow you to live a longer full and active life.
