Measure your weight: Pay attention to your weight. Being too fat will reduce your life span and appearance. A simple calculation method can be used, which is to divide the square of height by weight. If the resulting number is more than 25, it is overweight. The normal index is 20~25.

Don’t smoke: Many women smoke nowadays. In fact, smoking will reduce your life expectancy by an average of 10 years. 30% of deaths among people aged 40 to 50 are caused by smoking-related diseases. 9% of smokers suffer from lung cancer and bronchitis due to smoking; 20% of smokers suffer from heart failure. But if you quit smoking before age 50, you can still regain your health.

Drink less alcohol: Alcohol poses special risks to some women. If a person smokes and drinks a lot of alcohol, his risk of esophageal cancer may increase by 44%; alcohol can increase the likelihood of liver cancer, oral cancer and laryngeal cancer; alcohol can increase blood pressure, leading to heart disease and stroke.

Fat control: Daily fat intake should not exceed 30% of total calories, nor less than 15%. A high-fat diet can lead to obesity, heart disease, hyperlipidemia, breast cancer and uterine cancer.
