London, Oct 23 (IANS) People can live up to 100 years if they take care of
seven simple things in everyday life, a leading cardiologist has claimed.
Clyde Yancy, a Canadian cardiologist, says changes to lifestyle such as
keeping a healthy weight, not smoking and controlling your cholesterol
levels are an easy way to add an extra decade or more to your life span, the
Daily Mail reported.
Yancy says 90 percent of people can live to the age of 90 and even reach 100
by following his advice. The other steps include regulating blood pressure,
managing diabetes, eating a healthy diet and being active.
'Achieving these seven simple lifestyle factors gives people a 90 percent
chance of living to the age of 90 or 100, free of not only heart disease and
stroke but from a number of other chronic illnesses including cancer,' Yancy
is all set to tell experts from around the world at the Canadian
Cardiovascular Congress Sunday.
'By following these steps, we can compress life-threatening disease into the
final stages of life and maintain quality of life for the longest possible
time,' he says.
There are nearly 2.7m people living with heart disease in the UK. It kills
one in five men and one in seven women - equivalent to 250 deaths everyday.
Around 200,000 people die each year from conditions related to circulation,
including strokes, heart attacks and heart disease, costing the NHS 30
billion pounds a year.
The risks of all these could be reduced by controlling high blood pressure,
which is known as the 'silent killer' because it has no symptoms.
