珍爱生活远离干扰:浪费生命的9件事

2013-12-21来源:赫芬顿
5. You're eating too much unhealthy food
你吃了太多不健康的食物

Perhaps this sounds obvious, but the truth is that so many of us continue to do it. As far as what foods to especially avoid, eating red meat seems to shorten life expectancy by as much as 20 percent when eating extra portions.
这个听起来很显而易见,但大多数人还是会去吃。有些食物是需要特别注意避免食用的,比如跟其他食物相比,多吃额外分量的红肉会缩短20%的生命。

6. You're still looking for a job
你还在找工作

Being unemployed can increase a person's risk of premature death by 63 percent, according to findings by Canadian researchers after analyzing 40 years of data from 20 million people in 15 countries.Another found that older people who lost their jobs during the recession could have seen their lifespan decrease by as many as three years.
加拿大研究员通过对15个国家2千万人群40年的调查发现,待业会增加63%过早死的风险。还有研究发现大萧条期间失业的老年人生命会缩短大概3年。

7. You're dealing with a long commute
你的上下班通勤很漫长

Commutes of about an hour have been found to increase stress and have been linked to the same negative effects as sitting. Long commutes also reduce the likelihood that individuals will consistently participate in health related activities.
一个小时的通勤时间会增加压力,和久坐带来的坏处不相上下。过远的上下班路途还会减少我们进行健康锻炼的可能性。

8. You're putting up with annoying co-workers
你在忍受烦人的同事

Missing out on strong connections with your co-workers can also potentially mean missing out on a longer life. According to researchers at Tel Aviv University, Peer social support, which could represent how well a participant is socially integrated in his or her employment context, is a potent predictor of the risk of all causes of mortality.
和同事没有建立良好的关系也可能意味着减少生命。以色列特拉维夫大学的研究员发现,同事们的社交支持,同时可以反映出个体在工作环境中的社交完整性,也是对死亡率产生影响的一部分原因所在。

9. You're not sleeping enough (or maybe too much?)
睡得不够(或睡太多?)

Harvard Medical School points out that research has shown that life expectancies significantly decrease in subjects who average less than five or more than nine hours a night.
哈佛医学院的研究表明,一天睡眠少于五小时或多于九小时会增加死亡率。

Most of us suffer from too little rather than too much sleep, but research suggests there truly is a sleep "sweet spot" -- at least if you're primarily concerned about living for as long as possible.
大部分人都是睡得太少,而非睡得太多,研究建议如果你真的希望自己能长寿的话,还是每天保证有个好觉吧。
