🚨 Want to age gracefully? A top heart surgeon, Dr Jeremy London, shares the five sneaky habits that might be speeding up your ageing process—and guess what, alcohol isn’t one of them! 🍷
1️⃣ **Smoking & Vaping**: We all know it’s bad, but smoking affects every organ and chips away at your lifespan.
2️⃣ **Sedentary Lifestyle**: Even with regular exercise, sitting for long stretches isn’t doing you any favours. Keep moving!
3️⃣ **Obesity**: It’s not just about the number on the scale; visceral fat can lead to chronic health issues.
4️⃣ **Chronic Stress**: Constant stress can wreak havoc on your health. Whether it’s financial, relational, or job-related stress, it spikes harmful stress hormones.
5️⃣ **Poor Sleep**: Vital for recovery and repair. Without it, you’re more prone to health issues.
Dr London emphasises that while ageing is inevitable, how we age is largely within our control. Interestingly, although alcohol didn’t make this list, he personally ditched it in 2021 and noticed a huge boost in wellbeing. Perhaps a hint that moderation is key?
