Are you sitting down while reading this? Well that could be shortening your lifespan.
你是安心坐下來(lái)讀這段文字的么？好吧，這真的浪費(fèi)了生命。
Let's be honest: From the moment we're born, we're all dying just as we're living. But certain mundane things we do every day may actually be helping us get there faster. None of this means we should even try to eliminate these behaviors from our lives entirely, but it's proof that overdoing anything, even when seemingly innocuous, can have serious impacts on our health. Below we've rounded up 9 everyday things you're probably doing that could potentially shorten your lifespan:
這么說(shuō)吧：從我們出生的那一刻開(kāi)始，我們正在活著，也正在死去。但日常一些瑣碎的事情也許會(huì)加速這個(gè)進(jìn)程。這當(dāng)然不意味著我們需要完全把這些事從生活中抽離開(kāi)來(lái)，但證據(jù)顯示，過(guò)多糾結(jié)于這些事情，哪怕看起來(lái)無(wú)關(guān)緊要，也會(huì)對(duì)健康造成影響。下面我們列出了9件也許你每天都做實(shí)際上是浪費(fèi)生命的事情。
1. You're having a hard time finding love
你在苦苦追尋愛(ài)情
Having a difficult time finding a mate can shave off months of your life, while being single for prolonged periods of time could cost you a whole decade.
苦苦去尋求伴侶也許只會(huì)浪費(fèi)幾個(gè)月的時(shí)間，但單身可是會(huì)讓你少活十年哦。
A study by Harvard Medical School found that communities with gender ratios skewing significantly more male or female caused the minority sex to have shorter lifespans. On top of all this, another study found that never getting married could increase risk of death over a lifetime by 32 percent, and led to the previously mentioned loss of a decade.
哈佛醫(yī)學(xué)院的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)性別比率差距懸殊的社群中，占少數(shù)的性別一方壽命會(huì)變短。另外一個(gè)研究也發(fā)現(xiàn)不婚會(huì)增加32%的死亡風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，也就是差不多算起來(lái)少活十年左右。
2. You're sitting down for more than a few hours every day
一天坐好幾個(gè)小時(shí)
Two whole years of your life could be cut just from sitting more than three hours a day. A study published in the JAMA Internal Medicine found that sitting for more than 11 hours a day increased the risk of death by 40 percent over the next three years, compared to sitting for under four hours a day. Time to get that stand-up desk.
一天坐著超過(guò)三小時(shí)，你的壽命就會(huì)減少2年。JAMA內(nèi)部醫(yī)學(xué)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，和那些一天坐著不超過(guò)4小時(shí)的人相比，坐著超過(guò)11個(gè)小時(shí)的人在未來(lái)三年的死亡風(fēng)險(xiǎn)會(huì)增加30%。
3. You're neglecting your friends
你忽視你的朋友們
People with weak social connections were found to die at much higher rates than their counterparts, according to research by Brigham Young University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which collected data from 148 different studies. The same researchers found that prolonged loneliness could be as bad for your lifespan as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
楊百翰大學(xué)和北卡羅來(lái)納州大學(xué)教堂山分校從148個(gè)研究中總結(jié)發(fā)現(xiàn)，人際交往弱的人群似乎死亡率會(huì)更高。研究員同樣發(fā)現(xiàn)孤獨(dú)感對(duì)生命的壞影響不亞于一天吸十五根煙。
Elderly people with large circles of friends were found to be 22 percent less likely to die over a tested study period, and those social connections generally promote brain health in aging brains.
研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，有很多朋友的老人們?cè)趯?shí)驗(yàn)周期內(nèi)的死亡率要下降22%，而社交從某種程度而言能夠促進(jìn)逐漸老化的腦部健康。
4. You're vegging out in front of your TV
你一直呆坐在電視前
Watching just two hours of television a day can lead to an increased risk of premature death, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, according to Harvard researchers. The negative effects of watching television seem to overlap with the potential negative effects of sitting too much, but watching television seems to make the negative effects of sitting even worse. According to the New York Times, "every single hour of television watched after the age of 25 reduces the viewer’s life expectancy by 21.8 minutes.
哈佛研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，一天看超過(guò)兩小時(shí)電視就會(huì)增加過(guò)早死、心臟病以及第二型糖尿病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。看電視的消極影響似乎和久坐的壞處重疊，但實(shí)際上看電視比單純久坐帶來(lái)的危害更大。《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》上的報(bào)道稱(chēng)，對(duì)于25歲以后的觀眾而言，每看一小時(shí)電視會(huì)減少他們21.8分鐘的生命。
5. You're eating too much unhealthy food
你吃了太多不健康的食物
Perhaps this sounds obvious, but the truth is that so many of us continue to do it. As far as what foods to especially avoid, eating red meat seems to shorten life expectancy by as much as 20 percent when eating extra portions.
這個(gè)聽(tīng)起來(lái)很顯而易見(jiàn)，但大多數(shù)人還是會(huì)去吃。有些食物是需要特別注意避免食用的，比如跟其他食物相比，多吃額外分量的紅肉會(huì)縮短20%的生命。
6. You're still looking for a job
你還在找工作
Being unemployed can increase a person's risk of premature death by 63 percent, according to findings by Canadian researchers after analyzing 40 years of data from 20 million people in 15 countries.Another found that older people who lost their jobs during the recession could have seen their lifespan decrease by as many as three years.
加拿大研究員通過(guò)對(duì)15個(gè)國(guó)家2千萬(wàn)人群40年的調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，待業(yè)會(huì)增加63%過(guò)早死的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。還有研究發(fā)現(xiàn)大蕭條期間失業(yè)的老年人生命會(huì)縮短大概3年。
7. You're dealing with a long commute
你的上下班通勤很漫長(zhǎng)
Commutes of about an hour have been found to increase stress and have been linked to the same negative effects as sitting. Long commutes also reduce the likelihood that individuals will consistently participate in health related activities.
一個(gè)小時(shí)的通勤時(shí)間會(huì)增加壓力，和久坐帶來(lái)的壞處不相上下。過(guò)遠(yuǎn)的上下班路途還會(huì)減少我們進(jìn)行健康鍛煉的可能性。
8. You're putting up with annoying co-workers
你在忍受煩人的同事
Missing out on strong connections with your co-workers can also potentially mean missing out on a longer life. According to researchers at Tel Aviv University, Peer social support, which could represent how well a participant is socially integrated in his or her employment context, is a potent predictor of the risk of all causes of mortality.
和同事沒(méi)有建立良好的關(guān)系也可能意味著減少生命。以色列特拉維夫大學(xué)的研究員發(fā)現(xiàn)，同事們的社交支持，同時(shí)可以反映出個(gè)體在工作環(huán)境中的社交完整性，也是對(duì)死亡率產(chǎn)生影響的一部分原因所在。
9. You're not sleeping enough (or maybe too much?)
睡得不夠（或睡太多？）
Harvard Medical School points out that research has shown that life expectancies significantly decrease in subjects who average less than five or more than nine hours a night.
哈佛醫(yī)學(xué)院的研究表明，一天睡眠少于五小時(shí)或多于九小時(shí)會(huì)增加死亡率。
Most of us suffer from too little rather than too much sleep, but research suggests there truly is a sleep "sweet spot" -- at least if you're primarily concerned about living for as long as possible.
大部分人都是睡得太少，而非睡得太多，研究建議如果你真的希望自己能長(zhǎng)壽的話，還是每天保證有個(gè)好覺(jué)吧。
