最近，科學(xué)家公布了幸福長(zhǎng)壽的十大秘訣。這其中甚至包括沐日光浴、飲酒和吃巧克力。科學(xué)家們對(duì)近50年來發(fā)表的“長(zhǎng)壽”醫(yī)學(xué)研究進(jìn)行了搜集和整理，最終列出了這十大長(zhǎng)壽秘訣。
The first rule, as published in the New Scientist magazine, is to enjoy yourself.
這一刊登在《新科學(xué)雜志》上的研究結(jié)果顯示，“享受生活”是長(zhǎng)壽的首要法則。
Married 婚姻生活
Second on the list is remaining sociable, with a happy marriage and good family life being essential for health. Studies have shown that marriage can add as much as seven years to a man's life and two years to a woman's life.
長(zhǎng)壽的第二大法則是與人交往。幸福的婚姻和和諧的家庭是健康的基本保證。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，成功的婚姻可以讓男性多活七年，女性多活兩年。
Where you live also has a huge effect on your health. 居住環(huán)境對(duì)健康有重大影響
The world has many 'longevity' hotspots where the number of centenarians exceeds 10 in 100,000. Hawaii, Sardinia, Nova Scotia and Japan are amongst them.
世界上有很多地方被認(rèn)為是長(zhǎng)壽之鄉(xiāng)。在這些地區(qū)，每10萬人中就有10位以上是百歲老人。這些地方包括美國(guó)的夏威夷，意大利的撒丁島，加拿大的新斯科舍和日本。
A Drink 飲酒
So-called vices like wine, partying and chocolate provide the fourth rule, with countless studies showing that a little of what you fancy does you good rather than harm.
所謂的生活陋習(xí)，如飲酒、參加社交聚會(huì)和吃巧克力，成為保證長(zhǎng)壽的第四大法則。眾多研究表明，稍稍滿足一下這些嗜好，不僅對(duì)身體無害，反而有益于健康。
Work Your Brain 動(dòng)腦
The fifth rule says that you should exercise your brain to stay active.
Last month scientists at Cambridge University said puzzles could help ward off a range of conditions, from depression to schizophrenia. Knitting, doing crosswords or just walking also help.
長(zhǎng)壽的第五大法則是勤于動(dòng)腦，讓大腦時(shí)時(shí)處于積極思維狀態(tài)。
劍橋大學(xué)的科學(xué)家上個(gè)月宣布，一些智力玩具可以幫助人們抵御一系列心理或生理疾病，如憂郁癥和精神癥。編織、猜字游戲或散步也有益于健康。
See the Doctor 積極就診
It's simple really. If you're sick, get treatment fast.
這條實(shí)在簡(jiǎn)單。生病了，要趕快醫(yī)治。
Eat Healthily 健康飲食
The seventh rule is well-known - you are what you eat.
Scientists have recommended that the low-fat, high-fibre Mediterranean diet is a model for healthy eating and a long life. A recent study found that the hearts of those who had followed the diet appeared 15 years healthier than those of volunteers of a similar age.
High in fruit and vegetables, the diet also uses beans, breads and cereals. Small amounts of meat and moderate amounts of fish are also eaten.
長(zhǎng)壽的第七條法則大家眾所周知--飲食決定健康。
科學(xué)家推薦：低脂肪、高纖維的地中海式飲食習(xí)慣是健康飲食和長(zhǎng)壽飲食的典范。一份最新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，飲食習(xí)慣健康的人的心臟比其他自愿接受調(diào)查的同齡人年輕15年。
健康飲食指在多食用水果和蔬菜的同時(shí)，攝取大豆、面包和谷類食品的飲食習(xí)慣。另外，要食用少量的豬肉、牛肉和羊肉以及適量的魚肉。
Take Risks 冒險(xiǎn)
Rule eight urges people to put more excitement into their lives. Intellectual challenges, travelling, or learning a new language can all add years to your life.
第八條法則鼓勵(lì)人們?cè)鎏砩钋槿ぁＶ橇μ魬?zhàn)、旅游或?qū)W習(xí)一門新語言有助于人們長(zhǎng)壽。
Embrace Technology 接受新技術(shù)
Rule nine advises those seeking a long life to embrace new technologies.
第九條長(zhǎng)壽法則建議人們不斷接受新技術(shù)。
Be Happy 快樂
Merely living longer is not worth doing unless it is an enjoyable experience. Rule ten is that you should smile and feel happier in life.
Research from the Netherlands showed that older men with an optimistic outlook on life were only half as likely to suffer from cardio-vascular disease as those whose world view was more negative.
如果生活毫無樂趣可言，那么長(zhǎng)壽也就失去意義了。第十條長(zhǎng)壽法則建議人們多微笑，快樂地面對(duì)生活。
荷蘭一份研究表明，與悲觀的老人相比，持樂觀生活態(tài)度的老人患心血管疾病的幾率要減少一半。
