4 simple ways to eat for longevity

To increase your longevity, you can make some small changes to your eating patterns. “Diet is one of the most important factors that can impact chronic disease risk, mortality and longevity,” says Frank B. Hu, a professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Here are four smart, simple ways you can change your diet with longevity in mind, according to Hu. 1. Eat more whole foods. “Focus on whole and minimally processed foods, especially plant foods,” Hu says. Aim to incorporate more whole foods, like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and legumes, into…
“Ite Oku” is a simple story but built into a very complex and complicated plot and catapulted over the roof by the ingenious interpretation of the characters by the star-studded cast assembled by producers Zentury Pictures and Sir Folly Film International. It is the story of a very ambitious cab driver who is very much unsatisfied with his state in life and hastily seeks a get-rich-quick ladder to climb to opulence, prosperity and the attendant reckoning in society. He fishes out a very wealthy woman and begs for money and fortune. Consequently the beautiful lady of high net-worth leads him…
David Cox Male or female, young or old, a surprising number of us can’t make it till morning without a toilet break. Some simple changes could help Every week, Hussain Al-Zubaidi, a GP, will see at least one patient who suffers from nocturia, the medical term for needing to get up in the night to pee. A weak bladder has long been known as a side-effect of getting older, and nocturia has been found to affect between 69% and 93% of men over 70. It is often related to benign prostatic hyperplasia, the swelling of the prostate and surrounding tissue…
Ultra-processed foods are linked to 32 adverse health effects including cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and Type 2 diabetes. That's according to a large new study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) that adds to growing research on the harms of foods that typically include five or more ingredients and several additives. Common ultra-processed foods include ice cream, crisps, breakfast cereals, flavoured yoghurts, and biscuits, according to the British Heart Association. An international team of researchers from Australia, the US, France and Ireland contributed to the umbrella review of 45 analyses that included a total population of 9.8 million participants. “This…
The ancient philosophy of Stoicism has seen a revival in recent years for its practical wisdom in addressing the challenges of modern life. Beyond its current popularity, however, lies a radical system of self-transformation for those seeking to divert from the well-trodden path of conventions. This article explores five vital Stoic principles that can empower individuals to break free from the confines of the majority mindset. “The 1%” evokes images of the financial elite with material riches and high social status. In this article, however, the focus is on the 1% who dare to differ in thought and action from…
A former CIA agent who served as an undercover spy for seven years has lifted the lid on the key signs that someone is lying to you and how you can become better at fabricating the truth. Andrew Bustamante, 45, who worked as a captain in the Air Force before becoming an intelligence officer, opened up about his time in the Central Intelligence Agency in an episode of the podcast The Diary of a CEO, hosted by Steve Bartlett. The ex-spy dished on his extensive training, which involved him learning how to become a skilled liar - revealing that the…
It’s been almost 20 years since my diagnosis, and I’ve learned quite a bit. Are you someone who enjoys the unsolicited opinions of strangers and acquaintances? If so, I can’t recommend cancer highly enough. You won’t even have the first pathology report in your hands before the advice comes pouring in. Laugh and the world laughs with you; get cancer and the world can’t shut its trap. Stop eating sugar; keep up your weight with milkshakes. Listen to a recent story on NPR; do not read a recent story in Time magazine. Exercise—but not too vigorously; exercise—hard, like Lance Armstrong.…
Opening/Preliminary Remarks My idea of and take on the assignment I have here today is to have a dialogue - an interactive session - with you graduands and students and Faculty of the University, and, of course, others who are here as Guests for the First Convocation of the University, on my thoughts concerning the future of ourselves and our country on the basis of the deepening state of privation and fitful life and existence being experienced by many, if not most, Nigerians today. It is, of course, possible for me - since they say and must have stated that…
Sometimes, it takes a single word — like “because” — to change someone’s mind. That’s according to Jonah Berger, a marketing professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania who’s compiled a list of “magic words” that can change the way you communicate. Using the word “because” while trying to convince someone to do something has a compelling result, he tells CNBC Make It: More people will listen to you, and do what you want. Berger points to nearly a 50-year-old study from Harvard University, wherein researchers sat in a university library and waited for someone to use…
Most successful business leaders will tell you that their primary motivation is to "change the world" and to build something lasting, not to make a lot of money, while the conventional wisdom is that employees work for money, above all else. Yet my own experience leads me to believe that non-cash motivators may be more effective in the long term than financial incentives. I agree with Charles P. Garcia, who ties motivation most strongly to leadership, in his classic book, Leadership Lessons of the White House Fellows, based on this group of more than 600 prominent leaders from every sector…
