19. Narcotics, Smoking, Alcohol & Aging

Narcotics, taken in any manner became harmful to health. But now-a-days they are the essemial part of our society, unfortunately.
Smoking
One fact that the public sometimes misses is that the major cause of decreased life expectancy as a result of smoking cigarettes is not cancer; it is heart disease.
Some interesting longevity conclusions made from recent studies regarding smoking are given below.

  • Smokers die faster than nonsmokers, at every age and with the increased number of cigarettes smoked and smokers die at a greater rate from every disease.
  • Non smoking wives or husbands of cigarette smokers have a lowered life expectancy.
  • One-pack-a day smokers have twice the chance of nonsmokers of dying from age fifty to sixty. Two pack-a-day smokers have three times the chance.
  • On the average, smokers die about eight years younger than nonsmokers.

Narcotics

  • Alcohol is a drug, make no mistake about it.
  • Current evidence suggests that moderate drinking won’t hurt us, unless we are allergic to alcohol or have a tendency to alcoholism.
  • Statistics suggest that light drinking decreases our long-range risk of heart attacks.
  • All reports demonstrate that chronic heavy drinking can result in chronic gastroint estinal malfunction as well as extensive organ damage to the liver, pancreas, heart and brain.
  • Illegal drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin and others are all considered bad for us, though heroin is regarded as the most toxic and addictive, as well as the most menacing to other members of society, while of those mentioned marijuana is the least harmful.
  • Using these drugs will cause you to age faster.
  • Just thinking about the possibility of getting busted; by the authorities for possession of these illegal substances is enough to add a few gray hairs to your head.
  • If you want to maximize your sex life cut down on your alcohol intake. The more alcohol consumed, the more problematic sex becomes. Alcohol lowers the testosterone level in men, creating potency problems; in women it delayed orgasm.
  • Add more since to your diet. Zinc is helpful in the maintenance to male sexual health and vigour, according to Georgetown University researchers. Smoking and drinking depletes our ability to use zinc. Liver, sunflower seeds, oats, nuts, and cheese are good sources of zinc.
  • Exercise regularly, the more active you are, the greater will be your vigor and interest in sex, both mentally and physically.

Alcohol
Alcohol is an additional source of calories. Each ml contains 7 calories. It is also known to exacerbate neuropathy, lipidaemia, obesity and control of diabetes. It can prevent a person from following proper diabetes management and from recognising the symptoms of hypoglycaemia till it is too late.

Aging

  • Eat zinc rich foods.
  • Eat egg plant, yogurt and onions frequently to combat cholesterol.
  • Eat apples and citrus fruit often and supplement the diee with soybean lecithin to fight cholesterol.
  • Drink an extra 8 ounce glass of water each day.
