Key factors for a long and healthy life in 2025 include diet, exercise, and social connections

Research from the past year highlights three key factors for living a long, healthy life in 2025: diet, exercise, and social connections. Healthy choices in these areas are linked to increased longevity. Studies emphasize the importance of diet, showing that reducing red meat can lower the risk of chronic diseases. A recent study suggests that replacing red meat with fish could prevent hundreds of thousands of deaths by 2050. Exercise is also crucial; walking more can add years to life, especially for those over 40. Additionally, maintaining social ties can reduce the risk of chronic diseases and early death.
