健康2012:关于健康生活方式的6件事

In the same study on aging, optimism was also linked to living longer. The 243 subjects over the age of 95 "were outgoing, optimistic and easygoing. They considered laughter an important part of life and had a large social network. They expressed emotions openly rather than bottling them up," study researcher Dr. Nir Barzilai, M.D., director of Einstein's Institute for Aging Research, said in a statement.
同一个关于年龄老化的研究显示，乐观的人会活得更长。243个95岁以上的调查者：“他们个性外向，积极，平易近人，他们把笑声看成是生命很重要的部分，他们有着庞大的社会交际圈，他们会更开放的表达情感而不是将情感隐藏起来。” 爱因斯坦研究会年龄调查负责人Nir Barzilai 博士在发言中表示。

6. 我们知道该做什么，但很少真正这么做

The most important behaviors for a long and healthy life aren't secrets -- they're things like not smoking, exercising, maintaining a healthy weight and keeping blood pressure and cholesterol levels in check. In fact, you may even be tired of hearing about them. But just a little more than 1 percent of American adults actually abide by these guidelines, according to a 2012 study. People who do meet all the criteria? Well, they enjoy a 51 percent decreased risk of death from any cause.
最重要的长寿健康生活习惯并不是秘密——就比如不要抽烟，多运动，保持健康的体重和血压以及胆固醇水平。实际上你有可能都对这些听烦了。但根据2012年的调查，只有超过1%的美国人能真正遵守这些。坚持做这些的人能有什么好处呢？可以减少51%各种原因的死亡。
