In April last year, endocrinologist, MD Zukhra Pavlova said that the longest-lived people do not visit gyms, but live in an environment where they are constantly forced to move: grow gardens, take care of the house, and walk a lot. Also, according to the doctor, during a meal, you should get up from the table with a slight feeling of hunger and not overeat.
