Key Points:
- A study from the University of Sydney found that small daily improvements in sleep, exercise, and diet can add about one year to your lifespan without extreme workouts or strict dieting.
- Just five extra minutes of sleep, nearly two more minutes of exercise, and a small increase in vegetable or whole grain intake can extend life by one year for those with poor health habits.
- Larger combined changes, such as 24 extra minutes of sleep, nearly four more minutes of exercise, and increased vegetable, whole grain, or fish consumption, may add up to four years of disease-free life.
- Significant lifestyle improvements, including 180 more minutes of sleep and 25 additional minutes of exercise daily, could potentially extend lifespan by up to 10 years
