Everyone wants to live longer. With modern medicine, we have already increased our natural life span by curing many childhood diseases and vaccinating against viral killers like measles, influenza, and pneumonia.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not likely to die from infections, either, thanks to antibiotics, nor succumb to diseases like diabetes, because of the development of insulin. And when reflecting on how much the average lifespan has changed over the years, there\u2019s a lot to be thankful for.<\/p>\n

In 1900, average life expectancy was around 50 years. Today, statistics Canada says it\u2019s now 80+ years! Actually for females it’s even higher. \ud83d\ude42 But as wonderful as it is that overall life expectancy has increased over the years, there are things we can do to further encourage a longer lifespan.<\/p>\n

One of the common mistakes people make, especially elderly, is to assume that they\u2019re healthy. They put off seeing a doctor, even if they do have that little twinge in their chest or crackle when they bend over.<\/p>\n

One of the best things you can do to prolong your life is to pay regular visits to your family doctor. It\u2019s easy to tell yourself, \u201cIt\u2019s just a little pain,\u201d or \u201cI\u2019ll be okay in a few days.\u201d That is, until you wind up in the emergency room and the doctor says, \u201cI wish you\u2019d come in years ago when we could have taken care of this problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, there are hundreds of different diseases and conditions that are easily prevented with regular check-ups and self-care. But if you don\u2019t go in for that physical exam, how are you going to know if you are suffering from one of them?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t self-diagnose. It\u2019s far too common for people to Google their symptoms in an attempt to figure things out for themselves. Keyword searches for \u201chome remedies\u201d have been growing in popularity every year with people trying to resolve their issues and improve their health on their own.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t make this mistake. See your doctor regularly and especially if you aren\u2019t feeling well. The earlier possible issues are caught and diagnosed, the better your chances at overcoming whatever is ailing you.<\/p>\n

You can also get intensive check-ups, with MRI scans, EKGs, x-rays, and other modern scanning techniques. Sometimes those scans will catch conditions like an aneurism, or undetected coronary artery disease, two of the top killers of them all.<\/p>\n

These are more intense than a typical physical exam, but if you have a family history of certain disorders, it\u2019s worth asking your doctor about.<\/p>\n

LIVING LONGER AND HEALTHIER IS A CHOICE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

GET OUT OF HERE !!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to get outside and into the sunlight. Not only will this make you feel better overall but it has been proven to increase longevity. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n

When you expose your skin to sunlight, it produces vitamin D. Doctors estimate that as many as 50% of modern humans don\u2019t get enough sunlight to produce the proper levels of vitamin D.<\/p>\n

This is an easy fix for any of us. Just go outside for a few minutes a day and expose your face and hands (at least) to sunlight.<\/p>\n

Remember not to overdo it, because the ultraviolet light will also cause burns and skin cancer if you stay out too long. Consult your physician for the recommended amount of time to get that vitamin D into your skin.<\/p>\n

Vitamin D isn\u2019t just important for healthy bones, but it\u2019s also helpful with heart disease, diabetes, depression, and other conditions. It\u2019s becoming more and more apparent that this \u201cvitamin\u201d is an essential part of your health. So, open the door and step outside!<\/p>\n
